Hey I just attempted this at level 2 in the freeport newbie area. What I've found is using the hold click and strafe method I can safely apply my dot and never get hit. My question is, is selo's necessary later on for mobs with larger hit boxes than bats/beetles? I obviously don't have selo's at level 2, but I'm not having any issues getting hit.

That's incredibly impressive. Selo's is not so important for things that have larger hitboxes, you just don't kite those things. For instance, giants will always be able to hit you whenever you are in range for chords/denons, so they are not used as AE kite mobs. Selo's does allow you to be slightly farther away from the pack though, and I personally wouldn't kite without selos.

EDIT:
Another example are the different mobs in OT. Rhinos move at a different speed than unSoWed Sarnaks, succulents (cacti), cockatrices, and tigers. Here you will probably need selos to avoid getting hit by rhinos, but its also advisable to kite either rhinos only, or everything else and exclude rhinos (it's also common practice to exclude sarnaks).
