Devs: A Monk front-facing combo. (Positional Requirement)

[Akamu_Aniketos]

Before:
BS > TS > SP (Back + Flank combo)
Bootshine 150 Potency + crit if from behind
Truestrike 190 Potency (Back)
Snap Punch 180 Potency (Flank)


After:
BS > TS > SP (Back + Flank combo)
Bootshine 150 Potency + crit if from behind
Truestrike 190 Potency (Back)
Snap Punch 180 Potency (Flank)

BS > TS > SP (Frontal combo)
Bootshine 150 Potency + crit 50% chance if from front
Truestrike 170 Potency (Front)
Snap Punch 160 Potency (Front)


It's not game breaking, and not hard to implement. Incentive to attack from behind remains as the priority, but gives you an option for the front.

Sorry but this would hurt the Monk community, not help. The second a MNK dies from Mountain buster everyone is going to ask why they were in front instead of behind.

Did you even look at the values? Having a weaker combo that you can perform from the front doesn't mean everyone will automatically attack from the front.

That Snap Punch doing 180 potency from the back doe. I've been doing it on the side this whole time, maybe I should drop my claws, and bring out the daggers.
