Positionals

[CKNovel]

I mean just switching to a sam doesn’t mean you’ll do better lol. Playing what you know at top level and just being average is two different things completely. Really the fight design IN savage this expac and ultimate are two different animals. Phys ranged isn’t cut from anything. They’ve just been given the role that’s has no downside to moving or doing mechs. Saying that should do around the same ballpark as something that takes much more planning is kind of pepega. Also arguing top end numbers against one another is just as pepega. I ran double ranged phys in month one TEA and we cleared 20+ times with it.

You probably missed some episodes, here and there. Especially the part that outperforming a ranged on equal gear is far from difficult. Doing the minimal will be enough.
Or that DPS isn't the only problem in ranged's current state.

As you said, design in ultimate and savages are completely different, Ultimate DPS check isn't really hard, it's way heavier mechanic wise. Some claims that it's a joke.
And since you want to pick TEA as an example, during many mechanics, the boss is not targetable at all. Being a ranged, melee or caster has little impact in there. And during the first two phase, the least you move the better.

Comparing early savage DPS check and Ultimate DPS check, that's pepega.

EDIT: Anyway, mind if we can go back to the initial discussion about positionnals?
I'll gladly answer, but there's plenty of ranged subject to debate about it.
