does kiting work?

[Naria]

I will say as someone who plays healers and dps and rarely tanks, having a tank who insists on on kiting in any situation that isn't an emergency that's about to become a wipe might and has a few times in the past caused me to rage quit. There have been situations in the past when I've been healing where the tank starts to panic and takes a risky situation that, as the healer, I could have saved and ends up causing a wipe because they ran out of range or line-of-sighted me. I don't play tanks much, but imo kiting isn't something I'd be attempting until you have a better handle on other aspects of tanking in FFXIV.
