Request: Remove side requirement for combos

[Enfarious]

I just think its dumb for a tank to get behind a mob to complete a combo. goring blade, riot blade I'm looking at you. you can put your party at risk of aoe attacks, and no one bothers doing it on bosses because you can't even land stun to sneak behind them. C'mon change that dev team!

Yep it really is, and unless you don't mind screwing with all the melee in the party and risking your backliners those skills just go to waste most of the time.
I'm not a huge fan of running in front of mobs on DRG or MNK but at least it's doable, and in the case of soloing obviously useful so I don't /poke too much at those.
Game mechanics that generally remove options and function from jobs are just bad (I really want a better word but I'm coming up short on the vocabulary for some reason).

I don't mind the current position requirements for combos, but I do wish they'd make it a little more forgiving for melee - like have the sides overlap a tad (i.e., back = slightly more to the target's left to slight more to the target's right, etc.). That and make the position that some of the mobs are facing (like that of the Ixali) more obvious.
