Positional attacks - where to start

[Anova]

There is some latency between when you initiate the attack and when it checks your position in relation to the monster, so you will have to account for that when the mobs are moving.

The best illustration of this is when you are chasing and attacking a moving enemy. The latency will place the monster's location a little ahead of where a player is currently standing. Players can offset it by being 2-3 steps ahead (approx. half a second), predicting where the monster will be. When the position data is verified a fraction of a secondlater, you will have tricked the game in to thinking your position is actually in the ideal location for the attack to land or the desired bonus (despite the bard kiting said mob across the map in giant circles). It will take some practice to get it down, but until you do, you're probably better suited to wait until the tank settles all the mobs down.
