    Dragoon has four now. The new two are random, meaning after you use your third combo attack you may have to attack from the rear for full potency or from the flank. It's still not really 'hard', but I don't personally don't find monk difficult either. Also, monk loses a lot less potency than dragoon or ninja when it misses a positional, but that's a complaint for another thread~

    Didn't say monk was hard. No dps in this game really is. But moving between flank and rear as needed is...really, really super easy. I just find the bellyaching over something so basic very entertaining.

    I know you didn't! I was half replying to the OP too because I'm sleepy and out of it.

    Honestly, dragoon seems like it's in a much better place now that they lowered the potency gap on missing fang and wheeling positional. Before you lost 190 potency for missing, and now you lose 90. Still painful but not soul-crushingly so. :/

    See too many running half way around the boss to switch between flank and rear. When all you have to do is sidestep, as there is an invisible line coming from the boss at an angle that divides flank and rear, so nothing to dodge, sidestep back and forth, just practice to find the right angle its at. Get that, and to repeat myself, sidestep between flank and rear.

    Impulse Drive doesn't have a positional anymore. :O Unless I'm losing my mind, they moved it to Chaos Thrust.

    That sucks on black mage with Enochian too. Luckily, most bosses have predictable phase changes or percentages or time elapsed where they do things like that, so you will get better with more experience with the encounter.

    You're probably right. I quit playing dragoon awhile ago.

    Yeah, impulse drive and disembowl don't have positional damage anymore. It's just heavy thrust, chaos thrust, fang and claw, and wheeling thrust.
