You know what really grinds my gears?

People who strafe around ALL THE TIME with Dual Pistols, it's not like they're actually dodging anything, they're strafing around dodging absolutely NOTHING! They're not even using it for aiming purposes, they probably just want to feel like they're actually doing something.

LoL, I am guilty of doing this type of stuff. Mainly because i can't sit still shooting and shooting while standing will stop you from moving until the animation is finished.

I also do this, because standing in one place to shoot is boring as hell. Also, I cover multiple targets rather than focusing on one. I'll pepper several targets and attempt to inflict status effects on as many targets as I can. Damage is a secondary concern. Third, actually, since I'm a GT - so it's Status Effects, Support, Damage in order of priority.

but they do it even when there's one target, and it's slow as hell.

Guns don't get kick ass PA's to keep us entertained by flashy colorful light. Also, it's probably just my imagination, but when you're advancing on a target while firing, it feels as though you fire slightly faster - and slower when you retreat.

Strafing around all the time is useful while using dualies. Sometimes if you just stand still and shoot away, when you need to dodge an attack there is a delay in moving and you get hit. Constant strafing removes that delay, hence why I personally do it.

I just do it so I keep moving just incase something gets fired my way.

People do it on single enemies because:

1. It's a habit.
2. It's very boring.

People strafe while using twins because:

1. 2 bullets can hit 2 seperate enemies - this is how it's possible to level them fast. Xbow bullets 11+ work the same way.

2. Much easier to dodge because you are in constant motion as already said; If you stand around there is a delay when you want to move to dodge.
