Hello all, soon to be Bard here. Very excited!

The other day i saw an archer circle kite a fate boss very well, while shooting. I tried kiting a few times on regular enemies, but i'm unable to grasp the "trick". every time i try to kite in a circle, as soon as i do a skill my character faces the enemy and starts walking straight into them. This is with Keyboard/Mouse btw.

Can anyone throw a few pointers? I'm sure this is a skill that I should try to learn in order to take advantage of this class. Thanks in advance!
