Anyway, works wonders. On my druid (main), I strafe to get out of LoS. <BR/><BR/>Oh, also, I don't use Q and E at all. I bind them on the main for forms; I reverse the hands and use the left for key-bound moves/spells and the right for the directional buttons. I know it's weird, but it works for me.BearKatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024214054825838944.post-27267737819227264232008-05-29T13:14:00.000-04:002008-05-29T13:14:00.000-04:00This post actually makes me wanna roll up another priest and stay shadowJensythhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13654701630222091711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024214054825838944.post-53934309026175274432008-05-28T15:47:00.000-04:002008-05-28T15:47:00.000-04:00This is one of the very few "strafe strategy" posts I've ever seen. Not many people take advantage of the speed increase given by strafing. (My strafing experience comes from years of Quake and Counterstrike) =)<BR/><BR/>Good for my shaman to frost shock kite stuff as well.<BR/><BR/>Great blog, look forward to future posts!<BR/><BR/>(Referred by Big Bear Butt)Zachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12568415585671545406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024214054825838944.post-48973749947292608582008-05-28T10:12:00.000-04:002008-05-28T10:12:00.000-04:00I still back up when grinding (PVE) for mana conservation. My basic plan is back up the way I came in (since by nature that path is already clear or was cleared). I open with VT (longer cast), throw SW:P while backing up, then cast first Mind Flay. This slows the mob and I cast shield and continue Mind Flay - if a tougher mob, I'll cast Mind Blast, then more Mind Flay and PW:D if necessary. This keeps my health usually at 100% and mana pool pretty high. I'll only have to top off with water if there's plenty of mobs (about 10).<BR/><BR/>The caveat here is that I don't PVP/Raid much, so that's the difference between mana conservation and full burn on melting faces. My priest isn't my main, so perhaps I need to run more BG's and get those strafing skills up. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Just found this blog from Big Bear Butt, btw. I look forward to more priestly goodness (but not the 90210, Jason variety)Stevenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02395437985178292897noreply@blogger.com
