I would suggest bringing back skillchains from FFXI.

Mind you, I'm not one of those that advocates turning FFXIV into FFXI-2, but when you make a sequel porting over certain staples of the previous game isn't a bad thing, is it?
I think skillchains are one of those staples.

Their usage and execution was much more intuitive and immediate than Battle Regimes, they didn't require additional cumbersome steps, and they simply were the best balance possible between fun, simplicity and complexity.
I agree wholeheartedly. Especially with the lack of auto attack. It's like the entire party just freezes actions for about 4-6 seconds while everyone tries to get the BR in order, and a lot of times it still doesn't work right.

With skillchain+magicburst, you work together, your regular actions are not hindered, and it requires people to actually know their class and what they are doing in their current Role to excel.

Overall = in favor
