Dear monk,

As a tank who plays monk on the side, while keeping a mob stationary so you can land your positionals does rate on the priority list, it's not always at the top. The priority list rates more like:

1. Do I have hate on everything?
2. Have I got the mobs pointed away from the party at large?
3. Am I standing in an aoe? Oop there it is, better move or the healer will be mad at me
4. Okay combo time, gotta make sure I hold hate and pop my cooldowns.
5. What dps do I have on this run? Melee? Okay which mob are THEY on? Cool let's hit it with an enmity generating move so I don't lose it.

Somewhere around those last few we start thinking about whether it's optimally positioned for you.
