    As a Dragoon, I think this is unnecessary. Yes, it could be good, and yes, I totally HATE having to use impulse drive AGAIN because I moved a goddamn step more to the left and missed the flank instead of the rear...but then again I think it's not necessary at all. Monks have a different playstyle, and the reason they continue their chains even though they missed the position is that without greased lightning they do overall less dps than us DRG. Like, a lot less. Combos are different from monks forms...also, did you know that they can't change forms if they deal 0 damage? I noticed that hitting a stoneskinned target didn't make me change form. I don't know if this happens if the target is also invulnerable (example, primals after/during signature attacks), but I think nonetheless that this is a weakness too since we just need to hit the target - regardless of whether we actually dealt damage or not. This applies to ALL the classes who use combos...which is to say, monks don't have combos. There is no reason for us to have our combos changed to forms, because this is a gimmick of the PGL/MNK and exclusive to them.

    Yea, we can't "combo" invulnerable targets.

    I didn't know that. So PLD, WAR, DRG can combo off an enemy when dealing no damage, such as to stoneskin/invulnerbility? The few times I ever did a strat in T4 that had me hitting the Solidier, I was stuck in a Bootshine spam and no GL. It was horrible. I assumed it was the same for everyone.

    Thanks for the info. That really shows that they are just two different systems.
