Positionals

[Kolsykol]

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)

It doesn't feel good to miss them but that's kinda the point.
But others have other things that are quite similar, for example if you don't pay attention to Huton on Ninja and then the boss goes away or there's some phase where you're stunned etc and your Huton falls off.
Samurai's rotation falls off sync pretty easily if you're away from the boss too, Monk really doesn't suffer much anymore with GL being a passive at worst our Twin Snakes falls off which isn't a big deal at all and you have the ability nobody likes by the name of Anatman.
You can also just Form Shift.

With casters it's even worse, there's so much movement in the game I think it's way harder for casters to maximize their output.
Missed positional > interrupted and not casting.
