1. What is the trick to Strafing to the side to get a side style in? Do you need to actually use the strafe key to slide around someone? If they are stuck to you will it still work?

2. The dreaded Run-Thru. Some like it some hate it but it is part of the game so might as well use it. It is just a matter of turning on sprint and moving forward as your style goes off, then quick /face to get set again? Or is there some other dynamic in play here?

3. Jumping when in melee. Does this help in any way?

4. Any other tips that would help folks get better at melee?

It makes you look like a complete effing idiot I always assume anyone I see jumping around continuously in combat is age 12 (although I suspect that's not the case). The only thing I can say this achieves is that it makes you harder to select with a mouse. What it should do is apply an immediate -200% debuff to all of the jumper's to hit and casting skills for the next 2s IMHO.

How so? Not against rules to run through or strafe.

Jumping in combat isn't even a posibility in DAOC.

Play WoW or just about any other MMO if you want to successfully use jumping in combat.
