1. Positionals are garbage whenever you don't have a tank around.
2. Positionals are garbage when you have a bad tank around.
3. Ramp up time, but it's unrelated to positionals, mostly just stuck it here for the curious.

Since I main Sam, if I end up doing something sync'd where I don't have a kenki gauge, I don't really miss not having to bother to move to be honest. I played WoW for years before this game as classes without any positioning requirement and it was still fun. Do I really want them to be removed? Eh not really, but I am tepidly more for cutting them than I am for keeping them just because it doesn't affect my personal play experience but it might make randos in dungeons less terrible 5% of the time and make my life less miserable the once in a blue moon I get some nerd tank who parks the enemies butt in a fire.
That's the kind of detailed answer I was looking for, thank you.
