Dear DPS.

... No, I guess the ones that circle the mob constantly are, but they're less common.

Running in circles prevents many casters from doing damage to them, which lets the healer get in and do damage.
Just do a non-positional combo like True/Vorpal/Full while they're running around. No big deal.

Monk. It's a big deal. I have no non-positional attacks, except maybe True Strike and Demolish (a dot).
And no, running in circles do nothing to casters. Their targeting will always follow you.

Then explain how I killed a level 18 earth sprite on my level 5 Marauder.

Or how I tanked the last boss of Haukke Manor on my Monk for 4 minutes straight because the tank derped hard.

Or how I tanked a Succubus + 2 Hound Lights in AK.

Or how I solo'd the FATE water sprite boss in Outer La Noscea on my Monk.


You can LOS any NPC spellcast in the game. It's so trivial it's broken.

Then I stand corrected. Though I still don't think a tank should do it. At least in WP or AK.
I was pretty sure they would just turn around and cast the spell anyway. That might just be lag.
I never really tried to perfect the timing since I assumed it didn't work after the first few times.

Pretty sure I'm going to walk through the first boss of AK to avoid a 3k void thunder everytime time he casts it at the cost of maybe pissing off a melee.

I said that running through the mob is fine. Circling is not.
