Moving around I find makes it much more difficult to click on the enemies I want to burn as a BW. In most cases if I see a witch hunter and attempt to click on him (or her, although I'm pretty aware that 98% of them are guys playing), combined with the moving around, the difficulty in perfectly clicking on the target as at times I feel like I have to aim for their head or something (it's like I'm clicking on them but it still doesn't target them), etc....
At that point I realize I'd be better off aiming at the stationary healer or sorc or magus instead of wasting valuable seconds simply trying to click on the target. Quite annoying.
Hello people! This is not WOW Didnt you notice that your enemy , if he stands still and attacks - he is automatically turning to face you ? Just thought to inform you ...
Now if you are Witchtard (you know the rogue classes) with positional attack, than i can see why are you running around. Or Shadow Warrior. But else you are killing your self with stupidity
Alot of classes have positional attacks, as well as reasons to position themselves.
Here is a list of classes (that I know of) which require positioning for various reasons.
Wow some people here are dense. While most players over use circle strafing for no reason it can be a valuable tactic in this game in certain situations. For one if you are a witch hunter you will be a fool to stand in the face of a marauder or tank class in a 1 on 1 situation. This is when strafing can be useful, run around him get a 5 point burn heretic then instead of circling around him strafe away until you can run a bit. Most of the stupid players who are used to standing like rocks will be to slow to react to follow you in time for a snare. Strafing also works well in large group battles. A trick i use a lot is to strafe around the first opponent i engage, typically a healer and if another healer begins to keep my target up i quickly break off running to a new opponent. While most strafers do it for apparently no reason it can be a valuable too for not only making it harder to be targeted but also as a tool for misdirection. Btw I have never seen this circle strafing used effectively in Wow. it is way to easy to just back up and turn your mouse slightly to keep your target always in the position you want. This game atleast allows you to sneak off certain position based attacks if you know how to hit and move. Also the collision detection makes strafing more useful. You can't simply run through your opponent in this game so if my WH has a tank running straight towards me im not going to stand still so i can fight him 1 on 1, im going to strafe around him till i can peel off towards his healer.
Summary of post for the lazy: while its not very useful to run circles around your enemy thinking you will kill him easier it can be very useful as a tool for misdirection, especially in group combat.
This is exactly half my point. Use strategy in your circle strafing. The newb WoW interface exploit way does not work in WAr, and it actualy hurts you more than it helps if you are facing a veteran player. People must learn to think when using all of their tactics int his game. Random movement does nothing to help you. Well times movement will give you victory after victory.
