Combat Advantage via positioning broken:

If you try to position for CA, you will find that the area for positioning to actually work is much smaller than the cone on the ground indicates and requires you and your ally to be almost exactly 180 degrees apart for it to work. Tested vs dummies and against monsters, with both my pet and with a friend @jaegernl so the bug is not just limited to positioning with pets.

Forced CA via class mechanics (aspect of the pack, nightmare wizardry, steal time on mastery, gf mark, gwf mark, tr stealth, dazing strike) still work, it is just positioning that is broken.

Yeah that was what I mean, maybe this is intended and then those class mechanics are more interesting. Can be just a bug too.

Nice catch.

Thanks for mentioning this issue on the forums, I hope this bug is on the dev's radar and gets fixed soon.

This is probably going to impact any TR not using infiltrator's action or any TR who doesn't have enough recovery to maintain CA inbetween infiltrator's action procs. The main way TRs maintain CA without that passive is positioning. CA damage may not be massive but its still irritating to see my class lose more damage when our overall dps output is already low.

I am unsure how many ways other classes can maintain CA without using positioning but this bug probably will effect a lot of them.
