Strafing while Grav'd

[Firehawk]

I used to think running circles around a mob would help you dodge attacks.

I got yelled at for doing that when I started.

On BLM.

Heh, me too. Also I looked for a save point when I first started the game.

This reminds me of my EQ days, the devs implemented strafing the really easy way, so it was completely independent of your forwards/backwards movement, so you could run forward + strafe and run root(2) times faster than normal!

that's actually a remarkably common way of doing it especially in older fps games. look at a speed run of perfect dark for example and you'll notice the players with the lowest scores will always run at a 45 degree angle to where they're going. same reason.

Oh, I did that too when I first started, I guess I thought this was more like Diablo than what this actually is.

And voking goblin while they bomb toss makes them drop their bomb!

No No, Thats all wrong. You have to hit their hand that is holding the bomb with your weapon to get them to drop it.

[Colenzo]

I thought you had to run in and out to get them to dorp the bomb.

[LinktheDeme]

The more people that are closer to the bomb when it's tossing it the higher the percentage of chance it'll drop! true story

[Max™]

I don't give a fuck if it's stupid, I still run into their hand as they're about to toss it.

Yep, and when the mob still hit my character, I thought I wasn't moving properly.

[Furoris]

It is really helpful if the mob happens to be moving, or if you have many mobs you can bounce it around to make a better path

i first noticed it in campaign where the nms that gravityga generally bounce hate enough to always be moving, so you can swing around to right where they were going to be
