Please add positionals back to Twin Snakes/True Strike on Monk! Now is the best time!

So you are doing the best possible damage right now and you want to add another mechanic to get the same result.

It's this reductive attitude that's partly to blame why we have what we have now. We could also remove all abilities bar one and call it "Resolve". You press it, you win. "You are doing the best possible damage right now and you want to add another mechanic to get the same result".

Well, yes. I'd like to play a game. That's the point.

No it's not.
It's the attitude of wanting useless annoying mechanics that is bad for this game.

If the dev was listenning to all the people saying : keep positional, keep greased lightning, keep twin Snake buff, keep demolish dot etc... etc... Monk job would still be locked in 2.0 and nobody except a handfull of hardcore fan would play it.

The actual Monk, at last, have now a clean gameplay that feel more modern (FFXIV wise), it's not perfect and yeah it miss maybe one or two things to make it "complete".... but thoses things are surely not 10+ years old meh and annoying gameplay mechanic that the FFXIV postional are actually.

In fact, FFXIV lack a thing that most of other MMO use : Real CC.... And it would be nice to have some Knockback, Knockdown or stun instead of simple and lazy potency buff on the positional.
Like that, it's up to you to use them or not depending of the situation, and this would add complexity and flexibility, not just some more number for excell spreadsheet maniac.
