This game is just way to hard...

I love how people simplified battles in ffxi, first consider this in order to deal damage in ffxi you had to memorize this


http://www.wilddragonchase.com/ffxi/NewSkillchain1.png for the readable version. The complexity from battles was not always in the battles, rather the complexity came from combat. And to date I still believe this was the best way to do combat in a mmo.

Unfortunately no one's actually used it seriously since 2005 or earlier. I started playing in '06 and when asked about skill chains, I was told to "Just go." When I got to Sky, I was again told, "Just go." It was a fun mechanic the few times I did get to use it but it was quickly abandoned for the spam method. Except for the career sam's who'd have their special macro for when they 2 hour.
