    Combo positioning

    Is anyone else finding the camera making positioning for combos a bit awkward? Wide open flat spaces is fine but I'm having real problems moving around the mobs anywhere near an obstacle due to the camera. Beastmen camps especially are making me rage.

    Maybe your camera settings. I actually like having the camera locked for any combo except when I am tanking and doing Pounce. It allows me to get a proper position quickly without fooling around trying to find right spot.

    Whenever I am doing combos as a PUG, I keep my target lock on. As silverdragontyr said, it makes it very easy to find the correct position. With target lock on, you just have to move left or right and you will circle around the target.

    I keep lockon off, but oriented 45 degrees to the side, relative to the mob. When I need to move for a side WS, I run "straight" at the angle, pop it, run back to starting position, and by the time it goes off I will have achieved the combo in the proper position. Running through for rear WS is similar, right as I cross through the enemy model.

    I find it hard to find the sides of the enemies in time for the combo if I am locked.
    What if I happen to be a bit far away? It will take too much time to walk to the sides.
