Lag-straffing?

[Thugs]

Am a bit fed up of this. Wot is lag-straffing? I damn good at finding some way of improving my fighting technique and hear this bandied about all over level 50 combat but wot the f*** is it? I would like to hear a good point by point explanation to see wether it is an exploit or not.

What you wanted to say was... I suck at playing a SB and at least in Thid I can compensate by using 2 buffbots and constantly going back to mpk to renew my damage add and by using 14 poisoned weapons and strafing ... but in emain it doesn't seem to make me ubah so please explain some l4me tricks to me so I can enlarge my e-penis some more.

It just came out wrong it seems... that's ok ... we all know what you meant.

Yesterday a minstrel asked me if i want to duel him.I was with my merc.I accepted,we started and the only thing he was doing was lag strafe so i miss styles and go ooe while he was waiting for his stlong instas recast timer.
Well he won!Since i managed to land only 3 hits unstyled and still got him to 40%.
When i asked him why he was doing this cause it is rediculous to do that in a friendly duel he answered: "Well i was doing that so that you miss me and go ooe and so i can win" :worthy:

lol, well /face works pretty well against strafing it seems though he did win by any means possible (which is sometimes neccesary when you are a gimp like me, though i wouldnt know how to lag strafe because lets face it, im crap )

I thought you had quit?

Or is it that you were to afraid to take on the challenges?

Quit

Have quit. This question was posed some time ago. I bet though it can be countered using face instead of stick. Hardly anyone uses face to counter moves such as straffing which is where you are going wrong. Face is an instant graphic reaction whilst stick has a nasty lag. Could be this lag-straffing could be easily countered with face.

I mean I used to stick and spin sometimes when out of end. Uproar about it. But when someone did it to me I used face and hit them. Job done.

Face is generally used by casters and not melee people and it is from playing them that I could see how powerful and useable Face is as opposed to Stick. I used both on my SBs. Stick and Face next to each other on the quickbar.

There are other commands too that I never used that could help counter straffing but I never used them. Will see if I can dig them out.

face works better then stick but a decent lag straffer (worse from a normal person view) will still avoid a lot of hits even on face ... the best way to counter act it is to walk backwards as means they got a larger arch to strafe round and so you hit them more often. Add in face and strafe as you do it and they never get oov of you.
