Except for very specific situations, there is no and has never been any reason for a BRD to constantly run around or kite anything. Actually, since nearly every single monster in the game has ranges attacks, kiting isn't even a thing anyway.

In the specific situations that DO require more movement, BRD is in the lovely position to be able to turn off WM so they can keep dpsing while they go do mechanic X before turning it back on later on.

People just make this out to be a big change when really, it isn't. Pre-WM gameplay and after-WM gameplay is 99.9% the same.
