On the Removal of Positionals

[Valence]

I'm on team give people options. Make a certain job(s) all about positionals and another one doesn't have positionals.
Locking everyone into the same thing never works, if cleric stance wasn't standard healers wouldn't of been lobotomised. Same with stance dancing and tanks.

Last time I suggested the addition of new melee DPS jobs without positionals (emphasis on new, I don't want old ones to alienate their fans by deleting their positionals), I got dogpiled by every melee and their mothers because it was somehow a direct attack onto "the identity of the melee DPS role".

There are jobs without positionals: tanks, ranged and healers. Tanks are basically positional-less melees.

There's also RPR, which is laxer on them.

Tanks and healers are not DPS at all. It's a whole different type of role and gameplay.
