Positionals vs Damage over Time

[kashi11]

I refuse to answer that. I think you are shifting the Overton window into even worse territory by proposing the question in the first place.

This and similarly thoughtless threads asking jobs operate identically or be "streamlined" is why the game sucks so hard right now. I swear, a lot of the chatter from people with "ideas" online is the utter bane of FFXIV. Maybe think about how your ideas might actually impact the game if they gained any attention/traction before publishing them.

This.

I refuse to entertain an idea that may negativly impact my experience with the game

neither because I never play mellee and with the hitbox boss have it isn't to hard to do positional anyways

Don't think you need to Full removal of Positionals, but limiting their number would be greatly appreciated. I don't think positionals for "finishers" are bad, but remove them on openers and mid combo button presses. Also... remove True North. If you are going to have positionals, have positionals, Do not give a free pass out of them. You already do so on a number of bosses with a circular hit box, may as well either remove them or force us to use them correctly. Especially with the big hitters having a cd that lines up with TN, it means we dont have to pay attention have the time anyway...

As for DoTs, keep em. Do a better job designing them. We lost our spinning plates job with the SB SMN rework. We could see a new one rise again in 8.0, but I don't think we are getting a new DPS job in the next expac (copium I know).

You're probably being sarcastic

I'm not, I think 99% of what this forum spits out is so god awful that it deserves me ruining threads and making bait threads to draw dev attention away. Positionals are stupid, you have the right of it.
