Just fully hoping the devs try to raise the skill ceiling of jobs in 7.0 in some way.
I don't care if they stay or go. I just don't see any value to them. I'm more concerned about maintaining my rotation windows and doing the mechanics. Sliding to the side and back and occasionally pressing true north when needed is just really not all the compelling or engaging to me. I personally do not understand what there is to like about something that does absolutely nothing for the combat. If flank positionals actually required you to move all the way to the side you'd maybe have an argument, but you only need to be on the very edge of the circle and then take literally one step back over to get back to the rear. The "engagement" of positionals is literally zero. There's no real punishment for missing them anymore and they are just overall completely pointless.
