This has become a bit aggressive everyone has their opinions on what makes a class good or bad or what the identity is, for me the identity of monk has always been more tied to speed than positionals

The being said I don't technically mind positionals HOWEVER i'm not a fan of having my own DPS tied to the gameplay of others. It's fine saying positionals are great but they aren't great when you have a tank who constantly spins the boss or who drags him somewhere that the rear is inaccessible. So while positionals themselves are fine any DPS mechanic that has the potential to limit my DPS through no fault of my own is a big no from me
