Positionals

[Caitsithhh]

You probably missed some episodes, here and there. Especially the part that outperforming a ranged on equal gear is far from difficult. Doing the minimal will be enough.
Or that DPS isn't the only problem in ranged's current state.

As you said, design in ultimate and savages are completely different, Ultimate DPS check isn't really hard, it's way heavier mechanic wise. Some claims that it's a joke.
And since you want to pick TEA as an example, during many mechanics, the boss is not targetable at all. Being a ranged, melee or caster has little impact in there. And during the first two phase, the least you move the better.

Comparing early savage DPS check and Ultimate DPS check, that's pepega.

EDIT: Anyway, mind if we can go back to the initial discussion about positionnals?
I'll gladly answer, but there's plenty of ranged subject to debate about it.

You do perfect alex is an actual check right? And the first two phases favors a class like bard(starting to think you may be just regurgitating guide knowledge since you know nothing of actual substance...so careful throwing pepega around when that’s just a smoothbrain move). Running double phys ranged on perfect Alex is probably on release the very hardest check in the game. Comparing current TEA is like comparing savage to echo/pre-echo. It’s a joke now that gear and food/pots have made it much easier the first 3 phases. Again, your actual knowledge is laughable
SO do be careful going that route.

The convo has shifted because removing positionals is a troll topic at best. It’s the same as greeding casts to improve dps. Take the chances to nail them and get rewarded. There a reason you think discussing removing them warrants more talk? Cuz actually sadge if so.
