Any plans for Skillchains?

I may be alone in this, but I actually like BRs. I like them more than skillchains for a couple reasons; less reliance on perfect timing which lets face it is extremely difficult to deal with when lag enters the equation, there are not 100s of combination you need to remember in order to do the right one for the mob you're fighting, and there are several very clear UI indicators that a BR is being started.

I realize that these things could be corrected with a different implementation, but that's just a direct comparison to skillchains in XI.

Will agree the br system is far more flexible and potent then the sc system ever was. Hell i managed to do a regiment of ruin(i think) with a friend who was out goofing around on bot. (Stone throw -> Maim) Poor Gertrude didn't see the 2k Maim i dished out coming, Hell even i was surprised by it.

Now if they keep the same basic framework and allow auto attack to continue working along with adding in actual animations for the successful regiments it would be darn near perfect. Ya know the thing that really makes br's brutal and i mean bording on exessive force and treding into possible war crime territory is that even with out triggering a successful regiment (which like i said earlier is pretty hard not to do) you still gain the benefit of the progressive damage buff for the skills further down the line.

You sir are wrong. BR being more flexible and less complicated than a SC? Watch these two videos and then tell me how you stand correct. It's extremely complicated, no normal or new player will ever be able to figure it out unless STUDIED and RESEARCHED let alone trying to execute it for the first time alone, let alone even understanding it. I "LOL" so hard due to the fact that there literally is a Guid or Instruction manual on how to execute a BR. Shouldn't that say a lot within itself? I discovered SC out accidentally by WSing a couple seconds after a party member WSed... how much more simple, easy, and efficient can you get? Later finding out that a SC can do 1/3 1/2 100%, 150% and or 200% of the secondly used WS.

Hmm.. let me re-read my post, Yep i said jack all about complication and ease of use.

Then again how complicated is hitting shift+# and g? well heck its about as complicated as timing weapon skills and a spell cast to cause a sc+mb was.
