Position Matters

in

The boss encounter seems straightforward. Tank (or tanks), healers, and DPS all push their buttons. But, something else causes the raid to go south. Would just changing where people are laid out do any good? More often than not, yes.

Sometimes this is done to avoid a Stacking Debuff.

Compare Don't Stand in the Fire, Don't Stand Next to Other People, and Group Hug.

Examples

  • Naxxramas
    • The Four Horsemen encounter requires that the raid stand in the four corners of the room. Or at least, that's where the bosses will stand, whether you like it or not.
