I 100% used to run away from mobs with no run speed buffs and not die in Butcherblock or Faydark thanks to having A and D as my 'strafe' buttons. I would hold down W for forward and rotate between Strafe Right and Left to keep just ahead of mobs but barely as they would whack you if you didnt keep the buttons held down.

Its your word versus mine here and I know I survived near death many times as a lvl 5 noob killing orcs.

Dedicated strafe keys were not available until way after classic[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In addition, the following changes were left out of yesterday's patch message:

Fixed a bug that would cause some to not be able to cast after being feared.
Data for group members and targets will be updated more frequently. This change should reduce complaints of warping and slow hitpoint and other updates.
Bards received increases in the skill cap for their instrument skills.
Changed the default combo for casting spells from CTRL-1:8 to ALT-1:8, as CTRL was interfering with players ability to strafe.


and if I remember correctly there was even an official post about how strafe running made it very hard for mobs to hit ya, pre kunark..

Yeah. Strafe was done manually then.

There was no "set the a key to strafe left". That came later.

FD finally fixed. Not gonna lie, I will miss sneak pulling, but it was grossly wrong on the server. Too bad it's 6 years late lol. Now maybe people will appreciate other pulling classes and CC more when monks actually have to spend a decent amount of time splitting mobs.

Also a pretty huge nerf to Haflings.

I live for this.
