Any new new in NIN's positional so?

[Riepah]

Some players think it takes away from the "spirit" of NIN. The lack of positionals was a selling point for them. Others feel it will isn't fair since we already deal with mundra lag issues. Personally, speaking as someone who has main'd NIN since it released, I won't have any problems with the positionals. The diminishing of Goads importance and a silly enmity tool are the things that bug me, not positionals (though I'm not fond of them simply because they add nothing to the class.)

That's exactly how I feel about it. Adding positionals to NIN just makes me wonder how people are going to justify that they'll surely keep claiming that MNK is OH SO DIFFICULT and NIN is OH SO EASY, but besides that, positionals don't scare me, I won't have an issue with them. But why does Ninja get stuck with 2 babysitter skills, and why is one of them made indirectly less useful by MNKs getting the ability to recover their own TP? And why will we still not see other people's TP bars?

DRG and MNK had amazing new mechanics mentioned in the live letter, NIN was only told that they get to use Raiton more often, an enmity ability, and positionals. How's any NIN supposed to be excited about Heavensward? I was so sure I'd go into Heavensward maining NIN, but the live letter was such a disappointment that I'm not so sure anymore.

It just feels like they intend for NIN to be the other melees' clunky babysitter class, and I don't like that.
