Are positionals a outdated thing?

[Kaurhz]

You know this won't happen. Or are you going to tell me Healers became more engaging after getting violently gutted in Shadowbringers?

Where's my assortment of dots at and Bane to spread them Kaurhz, what happened to Shadow Flare and Quickened Aetherflow, why can I no longer sic my Fairy on to specific targets instead of her haphazardly healing anything with a pulse regardless of whether they actually need healing, why is Selene a glorified reskin, where are they?

I'll tell you where, they're gone. They've been gone for nearly three years and if SE has their way, they'll be gone for even longer. Hell maybe they'll get rid of the one measly dot Healers have in favor of adding even more superfluous off global heals that aren't even needed in the vast majority of content. You thought you were tired of hearing 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1, get ready for 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 repeated ad nauseum.

The fact anyone advocates for the removal of mechanics knowing this team's track record is beyond me. If melees get positionals taken away, you better believe you won't get anything substantial to replace it, mark my words.

I said they Should not that they Would. Similarly, all facets of the game Should be more engaging, including healers, doesn't mean they Would. But I think if we are to both be frank we know that positional requirements will be steadily on the decline until they do eventually remove them.

I advocate for it simply because I view it as an outdated mechanic.
