Positionals

[ZiraZ]

Sadly I wish this were true, I had a Tank call me out on not doing positionals the other night and he blamed me that the dungeon was taking "noticeably longer", This is why I came to the forums to see if there were likeminded people like me who would like to play melee but dont have the physical dexterity to pull off all the positionals, guess ill just get shoehorned into RDPS and be alienated from playing melee.

I just can't believe this happened just purely because of positionals, mostly because it seems almost impossible to keep track of people doing positionals in a dungeon because it's mostly AOE, and also because just by being on the rear side of the boss you're getting most positionals automatically anyways, I mean unless you were dpsing from the front standing next to the tank all boss fight long?
If so you have bigger problems than just not doing positionals and he was probably just not happy with a dps standing next to him which is understandable, that's just not a good idea in general even if dungeon bosses don't cleave often.

People like to think they pay better attention than they do to be fair. I once had some guy get on my case for not using battle voice on cooldown for trash pulls in a dungeon. He was a total jerk about it, but he was right, so i fixed it immediately, but he continued to whine and moan and made some snarky comment on the final boss about how id "finally done it once." Stuck in my head as one of the nastiest people I've encountered in this game - a rarity, thankfully.

Anyway some people are jerks and like to fixate on stupid things to be jerks about. Id fully believe it of someone picked "this guy isnt shuffling back and forth enough" to be The Thing for them.

You can choose to not believe it all you like, it happened the guy was abit of a douche about it aswell, as I had only just returned to the game I asked my husband what the heck he was on about as I had genuinely forgot that positionals were the crappy part of melee, honestly i havent done a dungeon since and if I will again ill go RDPS.
