God knows why they didn't toss positionals out already, no one likes them as far as I can tell and they've basically eliminated them from every other job now.
Positional weapons skills are "Experimental" now?

They've been part and parcel to MMO's for literally ever (Even before that, it has been an RPG staple all the way back to PnP games like D&D). Usually in the form of a Rogue using backstabs/ambushes or other nastiness that requires them to be behind their target.

From what I gather, positionals are only disliked when dumb boss design incorporates the inability to actually utilize positionals and thus cause a reliance on True North in order to achieve full DPS (Which is barely higher, if at all, than what Caster/rDPS can pump out without requiring any positioning at all not even a "Melee range" one)
