Shred in PvE 1vs1

Recommended Posts

I see very few ferals using it while I'm levelling, is that because people don't know how to use it or don't think it's effective, or maybe they just don't bother doing that? 

I personally find it very effective, but sometimes it's hard to do, I find myself struggling with it against small mobs. What's your opinion?

 

UPD: video for clarification.

what i have noticed is that on primetime with more server lag it is nice and easy to do but gets bit too tedious with no lag and makes grinding in general feel like too much work. just my preference on the matter.

@bathman, agree. I suppose it does require at least a minimal amount of server lag, and theoretically, with absolute zero lag it would be impossible to do at all.

How could you use shred 1vs1 in PvE? The mob is always directied to you with his face. Are there any trick?

The mob is trying to always face you, but due to the inevitable server delay you can trick it into showing its back for a moment.

Added a video example to the first post.

I tried to reproduce that on Darrowshire and was successful. But to be honest, I think the hassle is not worth it.

I suspect that this can lead to a loss of single auto attacks. It is also a little bit silly and looks... wrong, to fight that way ^^

@Mahtan, I think with the right positioning this tactic may require very little movement and not cause any missed autoattacks. 

And, well, looking silly is the best way to confuse your enemy. :)

It doesn't have to be this way though, alternatively you could jump over the mob while doing quick 180 turn before landing, basically trying to jump behind his back. It would look somewhat more realistic, but also harder to perform.

Thank you guys for the explanations. You opened a whole new world of possibilities to me. As soon as I reach the WoW, I will try to do this.

While leveling, I saw a lot of druid and rouges moving like this. I thought they were just bored during the fight)
