Kiting isn’t fun to do as a tank. The packs that are designed for it like in plaguefall before the last boss are fine because they’re build for it. But in-general kiting should be removed. Tanking should be about taking healable damage so healers can do their job.

Kiting as a tank shouldn’t be a mechanic. What should a tank mechanic be? Having random new NPCs spawning on your party and you having to save them. That’s some DND level stuff. Kiting is just literally a gameplay mechanic.

It does seem like an overly prevalent mechanic.

Neither is dpsing as a healer but healers were told to get over it. Game is changing I guess. Kiting sucks bc all tanks need to do it but some can literally jump in and out and others need so much to line it up.

Pull less, and you’ll need to kite less.
Couldn’t disagree more. Having to spend every GCD spamming heals is no fun.

Increase the mobs movement speed so kiting isn’t effective.
Meh, it gets boring after a while. At least the affixes throw a bit of change into the rotation. I say leave the kiting.
If they aren’t boss kind a hunter can tag taunt to reduce tank stacks. Usually tanks get pissed and complain “hunter pls disable your taunt bruh”
Except Necrotic literally requires you to kite at some point unless you’re kyrian phial chugging

If kiting is going to be in the game they need to design all tanks around kiting.

Are you referring to nerco stacks?
maybe not for you, but I hate damage weaving. It’s one of the reasons I’ll never play disc where it is truly required.
I’m a healer not a damage dealer, don’t tell me to dps.

I’d be fine with a necro redesign.
No, they don’t. They can leave things the way they are because it has been this way at least since Legion when necrotic was introduced. Kiting is a skillset that requires just a bit more attention and positioning. It isn’t rocket science. And it isn’t gamebreaking.

Having done something for a long time isn’t a valid reason to keep doing it. Kiting is not fun.

That’s a pretty laughable mentality. “I’m a tank, not a healer, don’t tell me to use Word of Glory or cleanse poisons.” Please.

Kiting also favors spefic classes over others and not just for tanks. Snares, taunting pets, threat redirects are incredibly useful for kiting but if you are a class without those tools it’s hard to get a group.
Are you seriously trying to tell us that it’s hard to get a group as a tank? Imagine living in that world…

For ranged Dps , tanking is all about standing your ground . This is design related issue and players trying to circumvent it by kiting
