I just got firewall for the first time and was playing around with it a bit. I got a little help from someone on the /advice channel.

This is kind of what I came up with between his advice and my playing around:


1. Basic Firewall Targetting
- Turn off auto-targetting ( G key ).
- Turn on mouselook ( T key or hold down the Right Mouse Button ).
- Clear your target selection.
- Aim with little white circle.

2. Firewall Orientation
- Firewall always lands perpendicular to your character’s facing at end of cast.
- If you cast a firewall directly in front of you and quickly turn 90 degrees to either side your firewall will be in straight line from where you are standing.

3. Using crates for placement.
- You can cast firewall on targets that are behind you.
- Firewall doesn’t appear to break crates.
- You can target a crate as you are running towards it, pass it and then cast firewall. This will leave a firewall burning in your wake.


Are there any other tips or tricks to using firewall? I've read in a few posts that mentions clicking a spot on the ground to target the placement of your firewall but I haven't been able to get that to work.
