Please refer to the scumbag bard with no positionals.

No, at this point I typically give up, go swimming/jump off and go home to enjoy a pasta dinner.

I have just started playing Monk and you are my favourite person for today :) thank you for this. Amazing.

I'm new to the game, and years of playing WOW have trained me to always stand behind the enemy unless it has a butt-cleave... I had no idea that "flanking" and "behind" were different things in this game until now.

I just want to say I still find this thread useful! I see so many people still doing it wrong.

On bosses like CoD, demon wall etc. do positionals automatically count? Every WoD fight I've done bootshine crits on CoD regardless of not being behind the boss for obvious reasons.

My understanding is that any mob whose target ring is just a plain circle (with no triangle at the front or blank spot in back) means all positional bonuses apply all the time from any direction.

EDIT: apparently Demon Wall and Cloud of Darkness dont fall into this category though.

Don't Demon Wall and Kraken (Main body, Sash HM) both have frontal cone arrows? This indicates that they actually do lack rear targets.

Demon Wall, Kraken and Cloud of Darkness do have Rear Targets, indeed. They can only be attacked from the Front and Flank.
