Running+strafing question

[Folkar]

I've only been on P99 a few days, but I've been using strafing successfully when I need to without problem. However, if I'm already low enough health to slow me down, there isn't much of a point other than to maybe get another 2 or 3 feet away from where you would otherwise die.

For example, I was using this at level 2 and 3 to train the vengeful soloist (or maybe it was composer) to the guards in Everfrost Peaks so they don't come up behind me when i'm dealing with bears and such. As long as I survive the one or two initial hits and don't get stunned, it works fine.

My question is, would this be seen as exploiting pathing? This one is kind of a grey area, and I'd rather just stop doing it if it is frowned upon.
