    Positioning question

    I have a question regarding a small issue with positioning as a pugilist/monk-to-be while Im in a dungeon.

    Example: Lets use a clock to better example this. (Enemy would be facing the Twelve o'clock position)
    Normally, when I shift as I do my rotation, I stand at the 6o'clock spot for behind, then shift to either 9 or 3 o'clock for flank before bouncing back. Sometimes though, I find myself shifting too much and loosing valuable time on my Greased Lightning/Twin Snakes buffs; as all of the guides Ive seen, this is a big no no.

    My question is this: Is there a general area I want to stand when I do my rotation or do I want to start moving just as I finish a combo?

    I stand just where the circle breaks (so 8 or 4oclock? Haha) so I don't have to move too far to hit either rear or flank. Helps not to move too far to do flank (I.e 3 or 9 o'clock) because of conal aoes. You don't need to hug the boss either, stand a bit at range..I find that helps with movement

    6' for behind, and flanks should be at around 8 and 4. The "behind" cone is rather small.

    Thank ya guys, I do appreciate it. I have Titan coming up in the storyline so I wanted to be semi-prepared for him.

    And yes, I do realize i posted this in the wrong forum section. I blame the fact: Im at work and its 3am. :P

    Stand at the border of behind/flank for minimal movement.
