What I mean by Flank in the title for those not familiar with term this means to attack from the side of enemy. The other control would be to attack from behind the enemy which termed generically possibly “assassin” .
What are/is the reason for these new controls ? While fighting solo with thralls and with friends with thralls I have noticed that often times the thralls get in the way of the player, particularly the player with a weapon and a shield. Now I know that many enjoy having the thrall attack from the front leaving the safer places to attack open for the players, however battle options would be helpful and I think these controls would help with that.
