    Just to curb this, you can block/parry from any direction.

    Yeah, this hasn't been a thing since either late Heavensward or Stormblood, can't quite remember.

    In Stormblood the only block/parry that wasn't omnidirectional was Raw Intuition because it specifically made every attack you took from the back or flank a critical hit.

    Keeping enemies bunched up in front of you is however still just good tanking practice, even if it has no effect on mitigation anymore.

    News to me. Ironic, since I've played DRK quite a lot for good or ill since release. Either way, you'd want them facing you regardless like Absurdity said. Guess that's why I never noticed.
