By this, I mean both your position in the dungeon or raid, and your
position relative to the things hitting you. Think of your group as a
ship that you're steering. Yes, other players have their own minds, but
if you park a trash fight in the middle of a patrol's path, that's not
ideal. Also, when positioning trash outside bad things on the floor,
remember that melee DPS need to be able to get behind them. Move
yourself out, and the trash out, and then keep going a bit further.


What's more, the reason melee DPS want to be behind their targets is
because their attacks can't be mitigated nearly as much from behind by
dodges, parries, blocks and the like. Guess what, the same is true for
you! If you've got mobs stabbing you in the butt, you won't be able to
mitigate that damage. Try to keep mobs in front of you.~~~~wly.com
