position requirements arent too restrictive. It should be possible to screw up the combo, otherwise all you got in the update was a damage boost instead of a combat system.

The only reason that archers do not have positional requirements is due to the radial distance between them and the target would cause them to run very far to get into the proper position with the risk of an enemy turning, or dieing before they could get there. Unless your silly enough to be locked on a target, melees do not have this issue. they can get to the correct side in a second or less.

Shoot, even while tanking on Glad I can pull off the combo that starts from behind without turning a mob... solo.

I am sorry if you are having issues, but the problem isnt the battle system.
Learn to play? Seriously?

No need to regurgitate what i already said in a post of mine in this thread in an attempt to argue against what is being suggested with something as ignorant as learn to play.

Server lag as well as hectic content makes it undesirably inconsistent and difficult and at no extra reward to ARC DPS. I already stated that I understand why ARC doesn't have positional bonuses. The point is there is no extra gain for the extra trouble melee DPS have to go through for their combos.

There really is no downside to the proposed idea - it only serves to make sure DPS isn't lost because of wasting TP. Maximizing DPS even further, and/or obtaining bonus effects would still require positioning.
