keybind strafe left and turn right on a couple..and strafe right turn left on the others..you will be turned around very quickly and you can drop totems or instants as ya go...
I use q and w so that its close by and easy to use ...other hand for spells simultaneously...Its also a nice work around for those quick melee bursts when they happen...rogue catform behind moves etc...
backwards is fine too..lol...but tricky in pvp you'll hit LOS much faster with a strafe circle
