While raiding in WoW/RIFT I’ve met people who had trouble running away from a boss while maintaining enough line of sight to fire off abilities. I helped a few of them with their movement so I hope my suggestions make it easier or you:
W – forward {middle finger} (only use double mouse click if you are eating/call/lazy/etc) A – turn left {ring finger} (not strafe!) S – backwards {middle finger} (aka backpeddle) D – turn right {index finger} (not strafe)
Turn your camera by holding down the right mouse button.
That’s it! To strafe: hold down right mouse button and press A or D. To kite: hold down right mouse button and run away from the mob with either A or D.
Use any available fingers to use abilities. To circle strafe: hold down right mouse button and press W while turning with your mouse.
This setup I find allows for the widest range of movement.
It also lets you fully control your character movement with either hand if you want to eat/text/call/etc.
FYI: movement with just WASD is also known as “keyboard turning” and is generally frowned upon because it’s slower than mouse turning.
(Everyone’s gotta eat at some point though!)
Traited last 12s. Without trait is 10s I believe. Description is misleading.
Untraited it lasts 6 seconds while traited lasts 8 seconds. I’ve just tested this.
I can confirm this as well.
Although I think the duration is actually 7.2 s
The reason being that Wall of Reflection and Sanctuary are both Consecration skills which benefit from:
Virtues – Trait VI – Master of Consecrations – Consecration skills recharge 20% faster and last longer.
Wall of Reflection goes from 10s to 12s which should be a uniform 20% increase across all Consecration skills.
The shield effect runs out faster than the visual effect of Sanctuary =(
Death Caterpillar would be a more appropriate name I suppose.
@the naysayers – It’s not like the other 23 guardians + misc players inside are diddling their thumbs for 96 seconds waiting for their turn. I’m going to try to get a video of this eventually.
Someone mentioned this in another thread:
Racial skills are deliberately less powerful than the profession Elite skills.
This is so people don’t pick one race over another because of it’s racials.
I play a Guardian so I don’t really use/craft cloth/leather, but after speaking to my caster friends it seems they are having a MUCH harder time than me getting high-end materials, specifically gossamer.
it seems it’s only available on gear under lvl 70.
