hey man i'm really proud of you you're coming a long way, glad you didn't bother with the bow (especially rbow, that sounds really awful.)
i think the only times ive ever seen anyone die donut kiting a troll is if they're actually retarded/bad or if they make a really really bad user error (i've seen trollex do a goof a couple times, the most egregious was when he tried to drink 0.03 of springwater he'd forgotten in a skin and his drink script wigged out and the troll murdered the character he was using)
you can def get fucked up by the server as posted here, early this world when it was very congested a troll i was testing with would throw caveins over the slightest clip (rats/bats, for instance) and when i sent dzorb a pm it was basically a "working as intended" iirc. i've seen snail kite a troll in a ring of tunnels before successfully, and also seen him do it and get roasted because the troll spent marginally too long re-pathing to him. fortunately this was the world where they didnt want to just infinitely boulder you when you KO, iirc.
i used to entertain myself by collecting trolls with a hermit character and then killing them as i wanted a bit of a thrill (boring world) on one of my MC toons, but I was fully prepared for that character to die at any point. on one instance i made a mistake and got hit on 28/28 for about half of my HHP with okay armor. not shp, raw hhp. they have some certain moves you'll want to avoid that basically force you to cheese them to get a legit kill unless you DPS-check them (which is ill advised because of the whole "the server can decide to kill you" point)
paving the donut makes it infinitely easier, but you don't have to pave it if you're good at stam/water management.
