Also positioning boost is one of the less important things as a monk and you can´t even use all positionals(the damage boosted versions only i mean) on many types of content. Some people say Monk needs much positioning while thats half true at best. What Monk really brings forward is the right use of Six Sided Star and Forbidden Chakra which doesn´t need any positioning just the right order/combos of GDC and OGCD usage. Compared to that the positioning boosts are a joke, while, i repeat myself, you cant even use all positioning boosts often depending on content. It´s rather a little extra you may use if you can to increase your dps a little but it´s really not a big part of your damage/dps. Basically you are good to go if you just keep attacking from the side, while you won´t be able to attack from the back at quiet many types of bosses anyway.
Main Monk here you need to check your rotation... we start: Form Shift, Shoulder tackle, Anatman only 2 stacks, true north, Dragon Kick, Bootshine, Twin snakes, Snap punch, True north, Dragon Kick, Bootshine, Twin snakes, Snap punch.. now you have 10%+ damage for 8 sec and 4 stacks of greased lighting... Riddle of fire 25%+ damage, "Six-sided star", The forbiden chakra, Brotherhood, "Six sided star", Elixir field, "Six sided star", the forbiden chakra, "Six sided star", Tornado kick.... Perfect balance x 4 times Snap punch, and you have again 4 greased lighting.... sometimes i steal the aggro from the tank. but again i main Monk.
