If only they allowed you to actually back-pedal like that, without the annoying turning click-fest.

[–]literal_reply_guy 7 points8 points ago

  • Click to run away (as a DH)
  • Accidentally click on monster at edge of screen
  • Stands stock still and attacks
  • Dies

So many times now :<

[–]vv0rm 5 points6 points ago

Not only as a DH and it happens with objects at the edge too ಠ_ಠ

[–]jugalator 2 points3 points ago

Just as bad for me is misclicking on items in the heat of battle.

Yes, let's stop and pick up the white pants! Glorious!

[–]phatinc 6 points7 points ago

If you have extra buttons on your mouse (like your scroll button or even a keyboard key) bind it to move. That way you never accidentally attack something.

[–]sindekit 4 points5 points ago

Whoa! Didn't know you can do that

[–]totally_mokes 0 points1 point ago

Scroll wheel down moves without attacking by default. It's very handy.

[–]redditmeastory 2 points3 points ago

What wizardry is this?

[–]DoniDarkos 2 points3 points ago

it is called "technology"

[–]Reoh 0 points1 point ago

This does wonders for manouvering around in melee combat, where trying to click would just hit attack the mob anyway.

[–]PaperRockBazooka 2 points3 points ago

I dont know, there is a certain challenge/uniqueness to the feel of Diablo/Starcraft's kiting. I like it.

[–]alienangel2 1 point2 points ago

True, I think I'm learning something useful gaming-wise, since I never really got into RTS so the rapid precise mouse-work is new to me. Still a bit irritating though - if they let you backpedal but made that slower than turning and running, people would still do what we do in D3 now because it would be better, but it would instead feel like making an effort to play better, instead of just fighting with the interface.

That's probably one of the major disappointments I had coming from Guild Wars. Yes, I know both are completely different games. But Guild Wars even in terms of movement mechanics allowed for so many more options.

[–]PainLing 4 points5 points ago

FALSE, the guy doesnt get vortexed or walled in and dies.

[–]Stomo 4 points5 points ago

That's what really happens.

[–]DS617 4 points5 points ago

definitley how I play my monk atm

[–]canada432 4 points5 points ago

The chickens say this is clearly a WD. Hell he even has a mojo.

[–]Aipre 2 points3 points ago

I watched in horror, certain he would die... A few times.

[–]CptQuark 2 points3 points ago

I lol'd quite hard at that.

[–]vampx 1 point2 points ago

My girlfriend hates it when I wake her up at 2 AM because I decided to try act 3 again and ended up screaming like this kid

[–]Hello-Universe 2 points3 points ago

This is pretty accurate. They make good tanks.

[–]ak9010 3 points4 points ago

ROFL

[–]smellthyscrote 4 points5 points ago

This guy's OP, he needs a nerf.

[–]Theotropho 0 points1 point ago

Original Poster is the guy in the video?

[–]smellthyscrote 3 points4 points ago

OP also means Overpowered when it comes to video games, which I didn't know until just recently either.

[–]Condorazzo 3 points4 points ago

Btw to those who dont know, the guy on the gif was a professional boxer

[–]NateTheGreat26 2 points3 points ago

Ahh, the ol' Turkish brawl gif.

[–]Theotropho 1 point2 points ago

Good stuff every time.

[–]electricdano 2 points3 points ago

That jab at the end was a monster! I feel like moments after the clip ended for us, he HADOKEN'd the rest of the spectators then teleported.

[–]tryple5soul 1 point2 points ago

oh man freakin lawl!!!

[–]ImperfectShunned 1 point2 points ago

World's first dupe! lol

[–]neorevenge 1 point2 points ago

So... source of the gif?

[–]sirmuffinman 2 points3 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJxbKjtB5uE&feature=related

[–]Reoh 0 points1 point ago

It's from Turkey. When the reporter asks how the fight started, it turns out it was because of a wrong overtaking manouver. Don't know why it made its' way on TV though - nothing special, that's how I got to work in Istanbul every morning...

Source, youtube... seems legit. :)

[–]Heygen 1 point2 points ago

LOL i was thinking the exact same thing when i played monk :D

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I gotta teach my DH to box...

[–]ryvul 1 point2 points ago

This is the original Oldboy.

[–]CasualPenguin 1 point2 points ago

Haha, my comment from the thread when this gif was posted yesterday:

[–]Stomo 1 point2 points ago

Punch diablo....apparently punching him with lightning fists are totally different.

[–]ocbsfilledwithtrees 2 points3 points ago

190 hours into monk, farming act4 is pretty boring. You just improved my gameplay experience. Thank you!

[–]Stomo 1 point2 points ago

and then you DIE

[–]ForeverABro 1 point2 points ago

If you're me you do, at least

[–]Stomo 2 points3 points ago

Nice to know I'm not the only one who sucks

[–]ImBeingSeriousHere 2 points3 points ago

Cheers!

[–]Theotropho 0 points1 point ago
