A few questiong about how flanking exactly works

✭✭✭✭
1. Is that right picture of flanking?
2. is it possible to hit this bosses at back
3. We can proc "camouflaged hunter" even in solo arenas, just running around boss and doing damage. And what about backstabber CP - can we?

no idea. same for crystals in vCR portals. please add a smiley face to these things.
backstabber uses the same logic as camo hunter.Edited by Tannus15 on March 16, 2021 10:12PM1 -

✭✭✭1. Mostly. In ESO its safer to hit from behind than the side in order to proc certain sets
2. Hitting bosses in the back refers more to dungeon and trial bosses where the tank can turn them around or hold aggro so DPS can run around to the back
3. I suppose. But as you are aggroing the boss with your presence in solo arenas, flanking sets are going to be difficult to impossible to use0 -

✭✭To my understanding, "Flanking" is attacking an enemy from any of the 180 degrees behind an enemy. At least, that's how one should interpret the description "attacking from the sides or the back of an enemy". Whether the programmers took some liberty with that requirement, I cannot determine. It is hard to observe the effects of 'flanking' in-game since latency or lag can often make an enemy appear to be facing one way when on the server they may already be facing an entirely different direction. This phenomenon can be observed more frequently in PvP but it can also happen in solo PvE depending on server lag (desync). This is likely why stealth detection is so random and all over the place, even when thieving from NPCs.0 -

✭✭✭✭You can test it on any dummy. just move around in a circle and hit the thing and see if the crit numbers increase.1 -
