i am telling you with absolute certainty that you can APPLY it from any direction and the description does nothing to contradict this.
What IS broken is the potency. It's supposed to get a combo potency increase ONLY from the flanks, but thanks to some calculations people have shown that the potency doesn't change if you're on the flanks or not on the flanks. The debuff doesn't discriminate based on orientation, however, and the description gives no indication that it was meant to.
It wouldn't even really be a nerf, they'd either change the description to match what the ability actually does, or change the ability to match the description. That is what is called a "bug fix" :P
