On the Removal of Positionals

[Eudyptes]

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.

Most =/= all. That is my entire point. If you miss so much as one, you have a dps loss. That is the objective argument you seem to be unable to comprehend. And the point of me bringing it up is that when you objectively lose dps for something not within your control, it is bad design.

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.

I've been raiding for 10 years in this game. My ARR main was even MNK. I know how to hit positionals. That was never the issue. Unless you really think it's hard to hit left or right on the keyboard every 6-7~ seconds? Like, that is subjectively why I think it's a dumb mechanic, cause it's pseudo difficulty, which at this point has an unavoidable objective impact on this game.

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

And since you can't read, that's never been the point. I've stated as much like 10 times.

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.

It's actually easier to optimize positionals. But once again that was never the point. The point is that it's bad when you miss them for means not within your control. Anyone can optimize when to move slightly within their rotation, but you cannot optimize mechanics with random movement mechanics that happen more often than your TN CD.
