Blasphemy. Though, sometimes I wish I rolled halfling for that sneak.

On topic -

1. Strafe running puts your hitbox more in front of you, W key will put it behind you - getting you killed a lot even with a big lead.

2. Illusions don't set your faction to a specific number, they increase faction enough to make you reach dubious or better often, without hits.

3. Hitting a mob before it's pulled into camp (and doing damage) will keep it off of your sitters. Exceptions are pet classes and their weird agro, as far as I can tell.

4. Don't let anyone tell you you're idea is bad until you test it for yourself. Ever seen a bard swarm using a one-button Z or C side strafe? Only ever once.

5. Friends > Pixels - but we all knew that right?
