Make Lost Slash and Lost Assassination not break DRG combo, like Piercing Talon

The actions Lost Slash and Lost Assassination in Save the Queen areas are weaponskills that will break the DRG combo while having a positional or Raiden Thrust buff, meaning that they can only be used after a True Thrust/Raiden Thrust or Disembowel/Vorpal Thrust, as otherwise the DRG will be forced to start from the beginning with True Thrust.

This makes Assassination and Slash clunky and annoying to use.

I would ask the devs to make these actions behave like ranged attacks (e. g. Piercing Talon) so that they can be used between any weaponskills without breaking combo. This is specifically an issue to DRG but there may be other jobs affected by this behavior.

Additionally, I would like the developers to keep this suggestion in mind for future iterations of Lost Actions in Exploratory Missions to avoid this problem from happening again.

Edit: It's a problem that is happening once again in the Occult Crescent with certain Phantom actions, particularly weaponskills, as described below.

Bumping in hopes of more visibility so that this issue is fixed and not repeated in the upcoming Exploratory Missions in Dawntrail.

Bumping for visibility once again. This would be a very good change.

Bumping for visibility because I have just noticed that the Phantom Cannoneer actions break the DRG combo at certain stages, notably when using them after Drakesbane and Coerthan Torment. Please, make all these weaponskill actions in Field Operations work like ranged attacks so that they don't disturb the normal rotations of jobs!

The bug report I submitted on this issue was moved to "Working as Intended", which is quite disappointing. Why should the DRG rotation break if using phantom jobs when most other jobs don't have this issue at all?

It's only weaponskills, spells do not cause any problem whatsoever. Why not make it so that Field Operation weaponskills behave like Piercing Talon, Throwing Dagger, etc?

Purely semantics. They will consider it a balance issue instead of a bug, but it could still be changed in theory. This happened with the PLD cover in PvP.

Bumping in hopes that they fix this before the release of the 2nd OC zone.
