Melee Positional Attacks

See that's exactly how I feel except I don't like when I'm not in control of my own failures. Like if I mess up something then I'll take the dps loss happily but if I take a dps loss because the tank moved the monster or someone took aggro and the monster rotated it's super annoying because it's not my fault.
I like that there's complexity in melee jobs with possitionals but I want to be good because I'm good or be bad because I suck, not kuz someone else sucks, or just that some unexpected happens.
To be fair it's a double edged sword, if everything went as expected all the time it would be boring but I still want to be in control of my own dps 100% of the time

Leave positional alone please. :-P

A good tank will not only keep aggro, but also keep the mob(s) positioned accordingly. Depending on the fight, repositioning may well be needed, but the party should be aware of this, assuming it's not their first time in and they didn't do research first. That said... you got your bad tanks as well as dps that clearly don't care if they get aggro or not and fail to use abilities that lower their enmity generation. In cases like that, you just have to adapt and do what you can.
