Weapon Throw and Side Strafing...WAI?

[Awffles]

Has there been any word on how ineffective weapon throw is with players that use standard-type movement since they can side strafe while running away?

you can strafe regardless of your camera mode, you just need to press different buttons.

regardless of control scheme Q and E are strafe left and right. A and D strafe only in standard mode and only if the character is moving forward. If you press them from a standstill they walk left or right just like in Legacy.

Right right, I had those changed to weapon skill binds way early on. Regardless the skill should be changed to work on the targets flank as well or else it's basically useless without wasting a stun to position yourself.
