Perhaps failing to stun the big AOE the patrolling floaty ladies do as their first move? Failing to get out of AOE in general? Letting mobs hit him from the sides/rear?

Do sides and rear affect damage? If so, that could have had a hand in it.

I honestly don't know for certain, but I don't see why they wouldn't. The mechanics are obviously there for bonus damage from flank/rear, and it's fairly standard for some defenses to not work if a mob is behind you in MMOs (how you gonna parry/block?). It seems to me like my incoming damage goes up if I let mobs get spread around me too much, but that could be confirmation bias on my part.

Ahh. Good points. He did like to flash vs overpower so they might explain it actually.

Also, I like you hair style. xD
