Why does [melee] run up to, and even behind, the target before attacking?

This is so annoying. I have range set to 15, and even shift click, yet bot always runs behind the target to attack it. essentially it runs past the target then attacks. It's awful. Considering the mobs are BEHIND the particular target, they don't catch any of the AoE.

I started with the default Routine, but I am now trying the ExileRoutine, and I've noticed the same thing. I want the bot to Shift+Attack when it's ~4-6 units away from the target. Not -2 units away from the target to the point where he's past his target...dumb & fail. What am I missing? Thx

Also, with ExileRoutine, Enduring Cry is on my hotbar but it does not cast. What's the deal here?...
