GAWD, I feel like people who complain about Monk positionals specifically ignore this. Proper positioning is as important to Monks as it is to BLMs, just in different ways. BLMs need to position themselves in such a way that they minimize the amount of movement they need to perform to handle mechanics that will stop their casts cold. Monks need to position themselves in such a way that they can hit their positionals as often as possible, while also being prepared to deal with mechanics designed to force them to move to safety.

If you're a Monk that isn't positioned correctly, you're going to make hitting positionals that much harder for yourself, and at that point that's not the fault of AoE spreads on the ground, that's on you either because you made a mistake or because you simply didn't know better. It happens, it sure as heck happened to me all the dang time!
