You manually use the ability and move right after the shooting animation happens. I'm still not sure how this is different from move attack, if there is one. Isn't kiting the same thing? (TBH I'm still unclear as to what the difference between kiting and move attacking is) edit: poster above me answered my question about move attack/animation cancelling vs orb walk. Before I knew you only called orb walking for targetted spells, but that clears this up. Kiting is not a micro technique, it just means staying outside enemy range while attacking. It's also used in MMOs. | ||

Would it also be possible to make some variant where you can practice this against attacking units? Like Phoenix vs Muta or Stalker vs Marine micro. Or Hellion vs Roach, for instance. I made this work by spawning some mutas and then attacking them, but eventualy the mutas leash back. | ||

I thought my post was extremely obvious, but I guess I'll just give another example: Clicking the left button of your mouse is not a micro technique. | ||

 .This is a very important part of the game, and it is definately micro. Thanks for the map. EDIT: Im pretty sure the technique was called move and shoot for the last 11 years, so stop making new names guys. | ||

Besides, you are wrong. Orb walking requires an ability, doesn't use a default attack, and also requires you to click directly on the unit you are attacking. With this "stutter step" you can use attack move and just click on the ground in front of the high templar. This map is probably useful for those who need to work on this technique. Orb walking in WC3 will not really help you get the timings down in SC2, as you are doing something different, and using different units with different timings. | ||

He raises his sword then swings it down in a slashing motion but the coil comes out when he raises the sword so you can cancel the rest of it allowing your dk to do more stuff. | ||

I agree with that, but how on earth does that relate to "staying outside enemy range", which is obviously a micro technique that maximizes/enhances the army's efficiency? | ||
