Monks in real life; when provoked to fight don't need to be sneaky and sucker punch people. No need to over analyze my method of speech.

If you can string your own combos and hit enemies from any angle it gives you more freedom to enjoy the job. Instead of standing on the side like a dud, stringing that one go to combo. You have to understand this game takes a long time, and there is A LOT of fights; being forced to do the same thing and being penalized for not sticking to a side for hundreds, thousands of fights is NOT fun. It's not hard to move, it's just NOT FUN.

It's ok to have ONE skill that hits for higher damage from the back or side, but a majority of the moves, or the main combo you'll be using. You have to glue yourself to the side. How do you do this when fighting a boss like the wall? And I don't have to mention solo fighting.
