    The lines that separate flank from rear extend all the way to the boss's center. Regardless of a boss's size, you should not have trouble switching between flank and rear because you should be somewhere along that line, making just small adjustments back and forth over it.


    You can also stand along the line but inside the target circle.

    Oh so it's not as specific as I thought it is?Cuz I thought the room for flanks and rear are smaller than what was on the graph.

    Thanks tho,that'll help me a lot next time I try melee during raids

    yeah, the area is actually huge. I raid with DRG and SAM and spend most of my time in O10S inside the hitbox because its way easier. I do the same thing in O11S during starboard/larboard and miss very few positionals during that specific mechanic (unless im literally forced to). I save true north for times we're sitting under the boss or sitting in the corner hitting his face, but YMMV.

    Also since you pug, optimizing dps is a poopshoot in most cases. You can only do your best but it wont likely be optimal until you get an entire team trying to optimize dps uptime. (my static only focuses on dps uptime strats which most pugs dont do, so when i tried to pug i actually had no idea what they were doing lol).
