There is still benefit to landing CT on the rear and FyrmurlFloerasksyn has tested that HT does more damage on the flank. I don't think they intended to fully remove the positional requirements. Just lessen the detrimental effects of missing them.

To squeeze out the maximum dps for the rotation you still need to be landing those positionals. Just means that if you miss HT on flank you don't get punished so hard for it.

Rather than being completely punished for missing a positional attack, you're now being rewarded for have landed it positioned correctly.

It should have always been like this.

They really only needed to remove the positional requirement for Heavy Thrust and the buff it applied. But I dont mind that they also removed it for CT. I expected the positionals to only affect the potency of the attack and that is what they did, exactly like the Monk attacks that merely lose potency for missing the positional.
