Cutter's Cry Chimera Question

stand at max hit box range this way you don't have to run far to get out of range. just stand as far as you can while still could hit it.

One of the things I've learned about tanking in this game is that you really want to learn to take advantage of the hit box. Most of the time, you want to be at max range.

And you may already be doing this, but if not, learn to turn with your mouse, not your keyboard. A mouse can turn you on a dime, almost instantly. With the keyboard, you waste precious nanoseconds.

Standing at max range is good when bosses have point blank circle aoe's. But when they have frontal cone AOE's it can get you in trouble.

You should stand at max range on Chimera (since it only has a side cone in addition to its circular aoe), and say, ADS. But standing at max range makes it harder to dodge White Breath on say, Hydra or similar bosses. On those bosses you should stand as close to them as you can without turning them, as it minimizes the time you need to run out of the breath cone.

This is important. I was having the same problem you are having, except as a Warrior. I also found going left or right as opposed to back or forward was much better in terms of getting out of range.

Thanks guys! After I posted this I started to think that perhaps I was just standing too close to the boss in general, so it's good to have confirmation that I probably was.
