On the Removal of Positionals

[CKNovel]

The big problem with positionals is that SQEX is completely inconsistent with them.

Sometimes you get free positionals with EX1, sometimes they're straight up impossible to hit because of some mechanics. Positionals are also worth 50~60 potency, that's around the potency of an auto attack and they're very rarely in a burst window.
They're not excessively hard to hit, can be cheesed with the many available use of True North.

Viper's Dreadwinder lines well with True North so you can just cheese most of them with no difficulties.
I'd rather see positionals being replaced with something that applies to all content rather than sometimes positionals being just free potency and that has no feedback on its successfull application or not.

Positionnals impact have been dumbed down again and again to be at a point where they were worth 2~3% in EW and that's scenarios where you intentionally misses them all.
