I have many players on my server, in raids, wsg, arenas, and duels ask me what I am doing as I am running away. It's called Backstrafing. Backstrafing is a technique I use to get away from other players, gather instance mobs as a tank, or fight while running away, while still moving at the exact same speed as moving forward. This might sound crazy but this guide will teach you how to do so, and believe me, this technique is very important.
Why is it important you ask? Well, you cannot Dodge, Block, or Parry if your running with your back to someone can you? No, you cant.
Situation One:
Your carrying the flag in WSG, You have two rogues on you and your running to Warrior that is going to hammy them both and the priest that has full mana who is praying you will get to her in time. Your taking heavy damage from behind, you 180 turn around and gouge one, 180 turn, and the other rogue kills you right before you reach your help, sound familiar?
Situation Two:
You gathering a large group of mobs in BRD on your 80 druid. Since you cannot Block or Parry and you overpulled your going to look very bad and die in prebc instance. Ouch, that really sucks. If you knew how to backstrafe you would have been able to dodge nearly everything because of the level difference between yourself and the mobs?
How to do it:
Lets get started.
1 - Hold down your strafe left button and right click on your mouse
2 - Jump
3 - When you land, switch to your strafe right button
4 - Jump
5 - When you land, switch to your strafe left botton
While doing this, move your mouse from left to right back and forth
Ect Ect.
It does take a lot of practice but IMHO this HAS to be mastered and is worth every second of the time it takes to do so.
I will try to make a video of this as it is much easier to show you then to tell you how to do.
