I looked at the link and the skills are different, but the only difference between hitting the positional and not was a potency increase. I didn't think anyone was trying to get rid of the underlying skills, but just the "+30 potency when used from flank". There could be something like guaranteed crit, or added debuff, but it doesn't appear to be one on the existing skills per the link you sent.

As far as concessions, I've tried to find common ground, though I'm very much getting the idea that people aren't terribly interested in that. At this point I've said that I agreed with you or could see things your way multiple ways while still stating that liking or not liking positionals was a preference. And sorry to still be confused, but I'm not sure why concessions, compromise, and understanding would be a bad thing.
It's not that I feel attacked, moreso that I feel like you may have the other user who is questioning my posts on ignore. I was responding to both of you but didn't quote their post, so admittedly it was probably confusing. But also the "you're wrong" post is just a few posts up so I kind of assumed you'd see it since you also entered the discussion, which would require viewing all my other responses and the posts addressing me. I think post 166 ventures back into the homogeneity discussion and there's simply nothing more to say about it, as I said. But I'm not angry or attacked, no worries. And similarly to you I've never once shut down anyone augmenting the positionals. I think enhancing them would be great. I think encounter design should change as well. I just don't think it's cool to throw it back in people's faces "you're homogenizing melee" to me or anyone and betrays a lack of understanding of what homogenization even is or what positionals even do in the current state.
