Hi everyone. I'm a MNk since first day (My main of course) and i love that class pretty much. Even if u are fighting a mob on field and want to do most damage possible u can try using lock target and u can use all flanks attacks if u are fast enough to go to flank before mob turn around (with lock target u are pretty fast to change from front to flank and from flank to back). I try flanking every mob i found. The only time i had a hard time and sometimes died it was when i had to do a Alexandrite map by myself, but in the end i got used to that too. I'm a PS user so i need to use lock target all the time in dungeons to not lose any auto atack when i change positions (for instance fighting Avatar, lock target all the time to my max damage possible). U dont need a front attack, we MNKs are fast enough to go to flank and use a attack (with lock target) before mob turns and shoulder whenever u need to finish your combo. I love this class a lot ^^ , hope this info helps.
