not to say that you shouldn't still try and get mobs infront of you, but it's much less important in this game than most others
I just know when a tank sandwiches themself between mobs I have to focus on healing them. If they position them all in front I can relax and switch in and out of cleric stance, or do my favorite thing, and designate myself as the peanut gallery of the raid. Does autoattack do that much damage? I know magical attacks can't be parried, but you say all other attacks can be parried from any direction?
