Positionals can be optimized, just like slide casting and movement resources for casters.

I've hit most if not all of my positionals in fights where it's harder, after I have optimized them. This is the same for many other players in the world.


Your post is literally just your subjective opinion and your different messages suggest that you don't have much experience playing melee in high end content. This doesn't matter, however, but it is perplexing when you produce statements like the one I just quoted.

As already stated, you can miss many of them and still do decent damage and clear any fight.

Optimizing positionals is like optimizing healing to reduce GCD heal to a minimum, use caster resources to avoid not casting/using low damage instants or learning how to gap close or move out/in during chariots for melee.

Additionally, tanks -and the whole party depending on the duty (e. g. P11S)- play a role, thus often making them a team-based effort, as well.
