you could not out run mobs in classic and you cannot now. Jumping helps avoid a few hits but they will always catch up. i have no idea what half of you are talking about. the strafe walking thing really only helps when sneaking.

"You cant get away from mobs they are ALL faster than you, fight and die its better than trying to run"
I only try to run to a spot that will be better for a corpse retrieval. Buy the time I realize that I probably should have ran it is usually to late because I am usually sooo encumbered anyway. Just find a nice piece of dirt to take your nap. to OP It used to work wonders in outdoor zones on live, however I find it useless here because the mobs run stupidly fast.

The real key to running away from mobs on this server is to not run in a straight line. Mobs have stupidly-giant hitboxes directly in front of them, but the moment you turn you pop right out of it.
6 straight levels of swarm-kiting taught me this very well. | ||

Wow, so many people can't strafe run? This did work on classic live and it works here. I do it all the time. I can outrun mobs from one side of the longest zone to the other if I need to. Just to clarify how I personally do this, you press forward and strafe simultaneously and angle yourself at a diagonal so you run in a straight line with character facing diagonally from that line. Occassionally, they may catch up to you at which point you jump (off a hill if you can to gain more distance) and you are good. Again, I do this all the time, there is absolutely no question that it works. If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong.

it works for me, and the way I use it the most is when im encumbered. Easily tested to, encumber yourself to the point of crawling, then strafe and move forward at the same time, ull move at almost regular run speed. I was able to RUN from EC tunnel to NFP bank with 10k plat on my little gnome necro, and he was actually running, no sow/str buffs

Theres no question that strafe running increases your run speed, but its simply not enough to escape from mobs for some players.
whether its lag or what I don't know, but I've talked to a lot of people on this server over the last year that have this issue. For people that can get away congratulations! because its impossible for some of us =p
