positional do not justify the existence of two different skills with identical requirements, potency, and buffs.

The skills cannot be identical, and different at the same time. The statement is in conflict, so they do not have identical requirments when their positionals are different. That was the point i was making.
Are the abilities silly and just added to give the perceptions of a more advanced flow to the Dragoon, yeah probably. They could have done a better job with the job aswell as many others.
But to expect any depth in a combat system based on the modern mmo model is a lost cause, as the design is centered around shallow repetative button spam based on priority and rotations.

I don't see anything ever changing when there is the current dev team working on the game, since the philosophy is centered around "theme park" modern mmo copy paste content.
