To practice this method, strafe in circles around something as fast as you can, while using your right-mouse so you’re always facing the object. Duelling as a melee is good practice too, because ideally you will be staying behind your enemy even while they try to turn to face you.

Not easy to get the hang of, of course, but once you do you’ll never look back. Even walking backwards is slower than turning sideways and strafing away!

Best of luck!

I do, however, try to set my keys up in a way that I “get”. Brade looks at it and thinks “what a mess”, but they are organized in a way my mind works. All my taunt-esque abilities grouped up, all my threat generating abilities grouped up, all my “oh shit” buttons grouped up, etc.

He picked on me yesterday for having “mocking blow” on my tool bar (even though I *know* for a fact when our warriors have failed to pick something up and we are going through the list of what they tried he asks about it). And sure enough, we were in an instance and guess what I used (although probably improperly)…yup! Mocking Blow

Of course…I somehow managed to fail putting shield block on my bar, but we won’t talk about that here!

Right now…um…I don’t think I “back up” really, hah! As a healer, I don’t really have to face my target, so I just spin my mouse and run in the direction I’d like to go. I guess if I do need to back up I probably use my down arrow in combination with my mouse.

Unfortunately the two tanks that I have right now are a DK, which I’m miserable at, and now my warrior (which I am kind of enjoying more than I want to admit!). I’m going to give it a fair chance though, before writing it off completely!
