    The only thing I find annoying about DRG is the mandatory positional attacks. Boss turns to do something or adds running wild. Your HT may not connect. Gotta keep trying for that 15% damage buff. Your ID may not connect. Gotta keep trying to get Disembowel and Chaos Thrust up. But it's hard to say that they should change that aspect as it's one of the things that differentiates DRG from MNK.

    "mandatory positional attacks" "annoying about drg" Wat? Spend an hour playing MNK and you won't -ever- feel that way about drg again.

    You're joking, right? The positionals on MNK are NOT mandatory to keep combos going. They are mandatory for maximizing DPS. On DRG if the enemy is spinning around as you try to land a positional and you miss... Welp, time to try again. You can not apply Disembowel and Chaos Thrust at all if Impulse Drive somehow doesn't connect. Each job has its' ups and downs, and I enjoy both.

    The positionals on DRG are not mandatory for anything other than maximizing dps either. And you don't -have- combos on Monk, so that's a silly comparison. But there is -far- less worrying about position on DRG than on MNK, so complaining about two abilities with position requirements compared to monk is just silly.

    Has nothing to do with what mandatory means. I used to be annoyed with positioning on DRG until I levelled monk. Now, the positioning on drg doesn't bother me in the slightest.

    But you can just sit on the rear the entire time on Monk and never lose Greased Lightning stacks. Thus there is no mandatory positional for Monk. Now do that with Dragoon.

    It's less annoying on Monk, but I haven't leveled Dragoon because that class looks boring. I only get sad when tank is spinning mobs and I lose DPS because of missed a positional but won't ever lose Greased Lightning from it.
