Quick Druid Question...

[Grabco]

Our A team druid FC decided to go all out and get the horde items.



My question is: Are [item]Grizzled Boots[/item] better than [item]Footpads of the Fang[/item] for FC purposes? Or do some druids get the 2p set bonus for the extra 7 spellpower with the fang stuff?

Grizzled before Debuff, Footpads after.

 

[Nzxer]

footpads if he backstrafes, grizzled if he doesnt

 

[Kore nametooshort]

Footpads all the way, the 6agi makes up for the 1stam loss especially for backstrafing. You should most definately be using fang after the debuff.

If he knows how to play Footpads of the Fang, then agian everyone has their own playstyles.

What do you mean back strafing I thought blizz fixed that?

strafe jumping

strafe jumping

Sorry I still do not understand what you people are talking about, I haven't seen anyone backstrafe (not really sure what strafe jumping is) since around 3.0. If by strafe jump you mean strafing then jumping to initiate the backstrafe that is not possible anymore.



edit: looks like this is a modification of the old backstrafe technique that I wasn't aware of. Although I would argue that it is not backstrafing. Looks like oprahlol is correct with the term strafe jumping.

thats back-strafing



The point of it is that you can't dodge attacks that come from behind you, but if you walk backwards you'll move slower. If you use this technique you can face your opponent to dodge attacks, and move backwards at the same speed that you move forwards.



Fang boots are better for backstrafing because more agility = greater chance to dodge. If he can't backstrafe then his dodge percent is less important than his total stam.





Edit: you got the vid before me this is what I always thought backstrafing was. I used to call the corrected thing that I think you're talking about - moonwalking

K i'm satisfied thanks for helping me

 

[Ertai]

Grab you're thinking of moonwalking, which has always been different than backstrafing.
