i was always sceptical about position needed for this two class, the positional fighting is more a thief/assassin class turf...
i means check the story of this both class:
-mnk:Though now under Garlean rule, the city-state of Ala Mhigo once boasted the greatest military might of all Eorzea. Among its standing armies were the monks—ascetic warriors as dreaded by foes on the field of battle as the city-state's great pikemen.
The monks comprised an order known as the Fist of Rhalgr, and it was to this god—the Destroyer—that they devoted their lives of worship. By mastering seats of power within the body known as chakra, they are capable of performing extraordinary physical feats.
-drg: Of all the things that are symbolic of the nation of Ishgard, few are more recognized than the dragoon. Born amidst the timeless conflict between men and dragons, these lance-wielding knights have developed an aerial style of combat, that they might better pierce the scaled hides of their mortal foes.
Taking to the firmament as though it were an extension of the land, they descend upon the enemy with every onze of their bodies behind the blow. It is this penetrative power that characterizes the dragoon.
nothing in both this description say that they are sneaky and cunning.... they are both looking to kill, destroy, annihilate them enemy...
about the dragon i don't feel that the combat style is really aerial, indeed we do get jump, but it's far to be enough for get the feeling of an aerial fight.
ps: melee can't stand to one place from the start of a fight until the end, it will always have to move... even as tank, without any positional skill, exept few fight, you will need to move from AoE or other stuff like this.
get one skill position sure, but there the trouble is for the dragon the 2 buff depend of the position, and when the monster move you need to restart... i'm sure any person that have played drg and mnk can testify how often it happend that the monster move at the moment you do your positional skill and loose the effect of the position!
