Positionals

[Fendred]

Why is the op and some people acting as if not getting the positional bonus is a death sentence?

I like positionals as they are a nice small thing to optimize personally, though clearly affects some classes more than others, but at the end of the day the world will not end if you don’t manage to have perfect positionals. You will steal beat the encounter if everything else is done right, and next time you can try improve even more.

No mmorpg balances around perfectly optimized everything because then nobody but computers would beat encounters.(though some more deluded elitists do like to tell themselves how perfect;ly optimized they have to be to do X else it’s impossible)

In my case, I was just kind of miffed by the X factor that certain bosses throw into the mix. Every job has to deal with some amount of X-factor, or things outside their control that may not be fun or satisfying. Monk's have a fun design that works a good chunk of the time, but has more X-factors playing against it than most because of that design. I'm really happy they helped shave a bit of that off the class by giving us a static haste buff over the whole stacking stuff that can fall off (new vs old greased lightning).
