That can be effective, but if you encounter a rather large group
of massives or infernals, flanking seems a bit less effective.  also, it
is rather useless if you adventure solo or with just a healer.
	One further note about push.  I think that if push skill was high
enough, it would also damage your opponent when they hit the ground.  I
think that this has happened, but i would need to check to verify.
