    You seeing the streams is not the same as you seeing the strategies being formed or the logic that goes into the formation of those strategies. Congratulations you saw a Monk hitting both the rear and flanks for Brute Justice, but do you understand why he stands where he does when he does? The planning that has to be done so he and the drg can both get their positionals while at the same time not running into each other and leaving lanes of motion open to go to the enumeration stacks again without running over each other? The plotting of every greedable positional and how to capitalize on them when moving on the way to the judgment line?

    It's easy enough to be an observer and say "it doesn't matter" and "I don't see it." It doesn't change that positionals add a layer to the optimization game for melees.

    I jump around a lot from ranged to melee and it screws with my head sometimes, playing melee and casters in particular can be a very different experience.
