Positionals

[ItMe]

Yet that is what they are for pretty much all the melee classes but monk. Nice to hit. They account for such little dps. The SAM for example, the positional account for less than a percent of the dps, so small crit variation can and will completely hide it.

Oh my god is it really that little?
Has SQEX been nerfing positionals all this time and I'd never noticed?
They reduced Protect's mitigation down to about 2% before fully phasing it out in Shadow Bringers.
I'm kind of alarming myself with this train of thought but should I/we consider the possibility we're losing positionals in 6.0?

It's somewhere in the region of 0.5% on Samurai and Ninja. People have also said Dragoon is in the same boat but thats a job I havent touhced since 1.0 so I don't know about.

If your interested I mathed it out in a different thread. (Click links)
Samurai & Ninja

And if the same is indeed true for Dragoons then it's really not suprising so many people want to see them scrapped. At the very least on those 3 jobs.
