Someone in my guild said that if you are knocked down, and you press your movent keys (WASD) the server will think you're moving, even though you're not, allowing a warrior to score constant critical hits on you. This would mean:
1: Shock and Bull's Strike are even more powerful on a warrior
2: I need to change my kiting technique lol

Can anyone confirm wheter(spelling?) or not this is true? thank you....

P.S. I apologize if this is not the right place for this thread, if so feel free to move it.

I don't know if this is a factor... But every now and then, if I get knocked-down and move at just the right moment i'll `slide' while knocked down. It's really odd - I suppose a bug. But I'm not sure if it is considered `real' movement by GW or not.

You only slide when you're lagging, and it's not real movement.

Yup, just your client displaying something that is not really hapenning on the server.

And crit rate is normal on a knocked down person, no trickery involved.
