No. Keep them gone forever. Positional weren't fun.

yes. bring them back. 6 positionals MNK was fun and anyone who doesn't like them is free to play tank or RPR instead.

Positionals lead to lost DPS when you have moments in fights where you can't either go to the bosses flank or back temporarily... And everyone sure loves doing less damage due to things you have no control over.

Kinda like how MNK used to be punished for not being able to attack the boss if they went untargetable for a mechanic and losing their Greased Lightning stacks and had to build them back up.

That's... what True North is for. Positionals shouldn't be designed to have 100% uptime in the first place otherwise what's the point. I actually liked playing fights like E9S or E11S that made it deliberately harder to hit them as MNK. Trying to optimize my usage of Riddle of Earth and TN stacks to maximize positional damage when I couldn't hit them was fun. I don't see the issue here.

Haven't done much Savage, but I have done Extremes... And Golbez for an example, you have Terrastorm, Lingering Spark, the 2nd and 3rd Gales with stacks, Eventide Triad/Fall and Stardust... I suppose you could pop a True North everytime you can't go the bosses back or flank every time one of those mechanics come up... Or just do less damage.
