Things Getting Too Obnoxious

[Duelle]

I disagree a lot with the OP's notion that melee requiring positionals is a bad thing, it is part of what has attracted me to melee DPS in this game, it adds some complexity to rotations and some challenge on certain fights to max DPS. Without positionals all rotations would be mindnumbingly boring, in my opinion.

The thing is that for those of us who've played MMOs for a while, positionals are something that rogue classes get. It's sort of their thing since they rely on backstabs and the like. It could have been used as a mechanic to define a job's identity but instead they gave it to everyone that is melee DPS (NIN was the exception). This is something I had an issue with since beta, both as someone who likes classes being diverse and someone who normally stays away from rogue classes.

I hate simple rotations.

See, I'm the opposite. I'm a fan of simple design and gameplay. More because it's straighforward, since I've never cared for overly complicated gameplay.

This said, I do believe in the middle ground. Some jobs being complex to play, some jobs having simple gameplay. Tanks sort of have this diversity between PLD's straightforward design and DRK's semi-jumbled array of skills (including buttons that exist solely for the sake of having an extra button to push). DPS could use it as well, I think.
