That's right, we have been strafing since the days of Doom and we are still alive!
Actually no you can't. Try strafing, your character is to slow and you will get hit a lot of the time. I also find even when you get out of the way of the sword you still take the damage. I play a dual wielding thief on the hardest difficultly. So I don't get to block either. The only way to avoid getting hit is to go in hit the enemy and then back straight out. Which looks weird to me. So the difficulty has nothing to do with it.
