Dawntrail - What abilities do you think need to be trimmed from the game?

Positionals as an idea are decent, but in practice they mostly just end up punishing you when you can't freely get behind or on the side of a boss due to mechanics and/or aoes.

It doesn’t make any sense to me why we can’t have Monk be a positional-heavy melee job for the players who enjoy positionals, and let the other melees have few or even no positionals. We have a job system.

I want all melee to have at least 3, people who don't like positionals have a world of choices out there, so they can go play those.
But they are not entirely wrong, something has to go, either giant wall bosses or True North, preferably both.

The aspect of positionals that I really dislike in XIV is not even the mechanic itself, but that I've got no clue whether or not I hit positionals unless I'm at the right spot one gcd before.

I know for sure the netcode makes relative positions a bit wonky (I've played with another person right next to me with the same connectivity conditions and the desync is wild), and it makes me wonder if positional hits can be affected by that or if it's relative to my client.

They just need to finish adding a slightly different sound when you land a positional, some abilities already do it but not all, they could also add a new icon for the floating text similar to crit and dh indicators.
Either way at the end of the day it's not a big deal if you miss some due to the boss spinning, most of the time you can just 'lead' the positional once you learn how and when the boss is spinning, one could argue this is sort of equivalent to slide casting but if you don't land it really doesn't matter, I'm just happy to try and land as many as I can.
