Lots of heat on this board today about positionals. I can say as someone who has played from the start of 2.0 I have never cared about them. I just mash whatever button comes next in my combos and call it a day.

That said, one of the main reasons I don’t care is because I have no idea I should even be doing them. I know it’s part of the skill description, but having played the game for the last 10 years I have read very few skill descriptions recently. I have no idea what skills are positional dependent of not. There is no obvious indicator on screen that tells me this. As Dps I mainly just stay behind the boss unless fight mechanics say otherwise.

I had to google this but there may be a brief flash or a different sound that plays to indicate you got it correct, or text in the spam of battle log. But in the heat of battle with full audio and spell effects going on I would not notice subtitle changes like this. And this would only apply after I have already done the attack.

If there was some kind of visual indicator that could display before I attack to tell me the skill I am about to use would work better from a different angle it would be amazing. I’m sure this is all part of the ‘Git Gud’ part of the game and will get hate for this. But clear visual indicators of how skills should be used would go a long way to fixing the positional debate in my opinion.
