Hi,
Back when I started playing Diablo, in my ignorance and naivety I gave Buzzard more credit than their due. I figured the four positions on the rank and file were one space away and those on the diagonals 1.414 spaces away (square root of two). If the to hit for traps (including barrels) followed some kind of distance rule, then the diagonal was better. And if the damage for expanding effects dropped off by distance, then the diagonal was better still.
Of course, now that we know that Buzzard can't even do simple sums and would probably farkel the use of them anyway we could drop the old habit. But I stick to it, in memory of how foolish I was back then ;)
