    I'm glad positionals are slowly being removed from the game personally. I love melee classes but I always felt like positionals were just some tacked on arbitrary way of making a class "difficult" when it's really not that hard to move around a boss. What it did do instead was just make it frustrating that your dps could be (to some extent) at the mercy of a bad tank or a boss with a lot of movement mechanics. I'd much rather just have a complex rotation where dps loss is my fault and not some outside sources.

    I like it because it gave me something to focus on once the actual monk combo rotation kinda became semi-auto pilot for me. And I always enjoyed the flavor of doing positionals on a monk due to the class fantasy of being some martial expert weaving around your opponent to nail them in their weak spots even if it was just minor bits of stutter stepping or just hammering true north off CD
