So let's move this to resolved now that we've established no one agrees with OP.

Just curious if any thought has gone into disabling strafe run?

After a quick search there’s been no discussion on it. Strafe run is something I wish I didn’t know and learned by playing on p99. (For those who don’t know, it allows you to move in such a way that prohibits mobs from hitting you while you’re being chased)

I feel it’s too powerful of a movement exploit. Obviously removing it wouldn’t be popular with pullers and kiters. What do people think?

Ever tried to Strafe run a Griffon or Puma ?
Not all NPC has same run speed.

Imagine if the only things allowed were “as intended” it would literally be half a game (or 1000% the game if everyone roleplayed)

At great personal expense and at the risk of damaging relations with my irreplaceable personal trainer, I have established an exclusive running track from Oasis/NRo zone (-1870x) to the first palm tree by the idiot fisherhumans. (1945x):

I ran from the palm tree to the zoneline, then strafed back. I then strafed to the zone line, and ran back, each time using the same route

Results are 2:08 and 2:10 running, and 1:53 and 1:55 strafing.

This represent a rough 13% decrease in travel time. In theoretical terms a strafing JBooter is 148% run speed vs SoW runner at 155%.

In practical terms if you're making the popular Neriak - Guk run, you will save 1 minute by strafing, assuming no other speed enhancements.

Nice data. Imagine what you could accomplish with an intense physical regiment.

Also please try to compare jump + strafe into your running track record for further data. Get some invigor insta clickies too.

Maybe run past players like runners run past water stations and the players cast invigor to give you more ability to jump.

My favorite memory is trying to strafe run panicked and accidentally disbanding from my group
