I don't think they'll axe dots simply because it's a foundation to make a new job upon. They might diminish (even further) for everybody else, though.

Positionals, however... yeah, I can see that on the chopping block. I personally LIKE the idea of positionals, I just don't think it's good with the innate server lag that XIV has, so I wouldn't miss it.

Ideally IF positionals remains, they need to do 2 things with them: 1) Add a visual cue that you actually hit the positional 2) Buff their potencies a LOT, so hitting them actually make a dent of difference for people other than speedrunners
