Also all I'm hearing on the defense of positionals is, "I want a reason to say I'm better than someone else." Doing positonals doesn't change how a boss reacts to you. Doesn't change what moves the boss uses. They don't even change what buttons you press in what order. I'm sorry, I don't see the point of them. Yes I will continue to use them as I play all the DPS jobs. However I think this is an archaic system that should be scraped.
QFT!

If positionals did ANYTHING interesting I'd have no issue with them at all. attack from the rear break a bosses tail..attack from the flank break his claw or something that actually then went and changed the fight somehow. that would be fun engaging and interesting.

half a step left for 15 extra potency once per rotation... dull boring and utterly pointless
