Would look stupid to stand still while attacking someone in pvp

Because it's more boring NOT to wobble.
they know they are going to lose anyway so like to have an excuse for losing every time
because melee are the best
The 'shuffle' is fine because it serves a purpose, the big question is why do some players (usually mages and rshamans) constantly jump? Was playing 2s last night and I spent 25minutes switching back and forth from a feral to a rshaman that were spamming jump constantly. I don't know how they don't have RSI in their thumbs, the only time they weren't jumping was when they were CC'd. Tactics wise it gave them zero advantage as it didn't make it any harder to sit on them. Is it a throwback to FPS games?

really? lol i wish there were more people standing in front of me not moving so i can bash them like a dummy.
I can't tell you how many times I've taken no damage or close to no damage because I was almost always behind someone. It does happen and it is actually helpful. Maybe not just spamming A and D back and forth but constantly running around the target always trying to stay behind the target.

I don't think that works anymore. Got fixed when they fixed the warrior charge issue. Now you just stop in mid air and fall straight down.

Well rshamans really don't have any reason to jump since their spells don't have any directional requirements for their spells. But for classes that do they can jump turn quickly in mid air and cast something while maintaining the same directional movement. You can just strafe but I found a combination of the two works pretty well for me. Now as far as just running away and jumping it serves no purpose anymore since getting cc'd will just make you stop in mid air but old habits die hard.
If you can get behind a caster as he finishes casting it won't go off... Also you are easier to crit if you are attacked from behind I do believe.
It's like crossing an intersection. There's shit going on all over the place and you don't panic and act like an idiot then do you?
I don't know, strafing behind targets is some sort of custom like hunters/huntards have of jumping at every possible opportunity. It doesn't accomplish anything but maybe it makes people feel like they have a pissed off hyperactive terrier stuck to their heels.
Maybe it's because melee PvP drink way too much coffee or take way too much Adderall or are sucking on a meth pipe while they play or whatever. I really don't know.
This is pretty much why I did it actually, I couldn't keep still. Even when I realised it disoriented keyboard turner casters, I continued to do it because I was used to it and couldn't keep still, rather than for the actual tactic of breaking a cast. I also spam jump like it's going out of style all the time, it's just habit now :P
