You're giving bad players too much credit. So in a scenario, you have a dragoon who has perfect rotation, perfect cooldown usage but does not hit his positionals* from the right side, but you have another dragoon who does all the above but does hit his positionals from the right side, then yes, the dps difference will only be like 20 (which still isn't something to balk at), in that scenario, can you really call DRG one unskilled? I mean yeah, he messes up on two attacks but he is still demonstrating a high level of competency with the job.

I guess what Im getting at is: hitting HT from the side and ID from behind does not a good dragoon make

* I am of course talking about positionals after the 2.45 changes.
