It's the exact same point. You can sit there and mash Aeolian Edge all day. The other two steps aren't required, after all. Unless, of course, you want to do competitive DPS. But if "required for competitive DPS" is what we mean by "required," then positionals are also required. Hate to break it to you.

That's incorrect. Current NIN does competitive dps with only one positional. Proof that it's possible.

There are also many other ways to increase dps than by adding more positionals.
