    True but its still insignificant on Samurai. (See math above).. missing a positional on a samurai loses less than 0.5% of your dps.

    It's roughly the same for Ninja (again see math above) and apparently also Dragoon to. Haven't touched drg since 1.0 so i persoma;;y have no idea about that job.

    But a 0.5% loss is virtually impossible to notice in any actual fight even if you parsed and tested 100 times. Because of the margin for error relating to rng crits direct hits latency, server ticks and other factors..

    This again is why so many people think positionals generally suck. It's an illusion of depth that has no measurable effect. And should generally just be scrapped at this point.
