Kiting on impossible?

[Sanctuary]

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I keep reading about how some people are able to kite monsters away to get navigational charts for quite a long time before having to fight their first battle. Is this entirely luck based and do these people keep resetting until they are able to do it? I am only on Bolo, but I cannot get beyond that area because the chart is being guarded by an impossible pack in a narrow area that won't kite more than half of an inch before stopping. Again, is this luck based or is there some secret to pulling these packs out farther than what they would normally go? To clarify, I already have the rest of the available charts from Scarlet, Rusty and Debir.
