2. How do you quickly avoid AOEs without the use of Q / E as side-strafing?

I learned this the hard way at Brayflox (tanking the dragon), where my keys only allowed attacking OR moving.. after that, I learned that binding keys to the numpad allows my left hand to stay in WADS and the right hand on numpad to use abilities. With that setup I make it so I never “lock” on mobs, so I can just run out whatever direction.
