Positionals

Call me crazy, but that sounds fun. I'd love to have something like that return, even if it'd only irk a lot of people.

Yeah I don't remember Monk but this was back in 2.0, I am very confident this is how it went, can correct me. I take that back about the losing combo part, only 2 things really did it.

Heavy Thrust (Flank): 15% damage buff plus Potency+ if you flank and you only obtained the buff when flanking.

Chaos Thrust (Rear): Dot plus Potency, you only landed the dot if you used at the rear.

Almost. Monk IIRC always got their buff/debuff, however, missing the poitional meant a much bigger potency loss.

Dragoon however, is where it got interesting. Heavy Thrust is as you said, you only got the buff if you hit the flank. As for the Chaos Thrust combo though, there was no rear positional on Chaos Thrust, it was on Impulse Drive. Missing the rear positional meant it never comboed into Disembowel, which then put you behind on your whole GCD rotation.
