Mouse Turning in Aion DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
Another ability that defines you as a pro gamer or not! Turning with your mouse is the second most important thing to learn after programming Key Bindings. Generally in every game when you right click and left click at the same time your character will move forward. Strafing is the second most important thing for you to know. It's very important you learn how to Stafe and you learn to like it! Strafing will allow you better mobility, which in term increases your survivability! Now, as I said earlier, don't get to used to turning with your side to side keys. When you hold your right click, and hit etheir one of your "Side to side keys" you will strafe side to side.
Do this, Hit your D or right arrow key until you face east, this will take about a second. Then hit your forward key to start moving in that direction. Now, Right click and hit your right directional key. After you've done this slowly pan your mouse right until you're camera is facing your direction. This also works for your "Backing up". It makes me quiver when someone, as I call it "Arrow keys backwards". When you're backing up you will generally move at a quater of your normal run speed. You can quickly learn to turn your self around while holding the right mouse button or "Backwards Strafe" with the method I listed above. Spirit Erosion – this skill has a typical debuff with a compelling little aftertaste. Casting this on a target will lower the defense of the target to the primary magical damage of the Spirit that casts it (i.e Fire Spirit casting this will lower the Fire Defense of the target). The interesting tidbit though is that this particular debuff also increases the item drop rate of the target. Schwing, yes please.
