    I can say that I've been on Apanda as MT and out of range to use Holmgang on Halicanarssus due to OT positioning several times as she's casting Critical Hit. Granted, I use it on on Apanda, but it's a situation nonetheless.

    If you're hitting the apanda during critical hit then why not just holmgang on it?

    I've cleared every normal/savage raid and ex trial released since 3.0, I seriously have no idea where you'd have trouble using holmgang when you can hit the target. I'm not aware of any boss with more than 3y hitbox radius (6y diametre), since that'd be the only possible case where you can hit the boss at max melee range but not holmgang it. Not to mention that when you're tanking the boss it'll follow you if you try to move away to max melee range from it, unless it's a stationary boss like a9s refurbisher, though I don't think he's big enough to give you difficulties to holmgang. Maybe you can tell me, because clearly the person I quoted didn't mention any specific example?

    Edit: Well maybe some fate bosses or hunts are big enough, not sure though.

    I probably worded it badly, should've asked why would you want to holmgang the boss if you're hitting apanda. Thanks for pointing it out.
