Auto Combo Buttons in PvE

[Skivvy]

Why not just have someone come play the game for you? That way you have to press zero buttons.

Pressing the same button 3 times vs. pressing 3 different buttons once is practically the same thing. You are still doing 3 button presses, you just get to clear up the clutter that is your hotbar. You can still weave things in as needed - it's not like pressing the button once would perform all three actions instantly. That is still controlled by the player.

Pressing 3 different buttons while doing mechanics is not the same as pressing the same button while doing mechanics, as shown by people with poor DPS in mechanic intensive fights, if what you said was true we wouldn't have such a big gap between someone who is trying and someone who isn't.

The glaring hole in you logic, is that there are no classes at present that requires you to press the 1 button 3 times while doing mechanics so what are you comparing? What makes you think that people who can't handle pressing 3 button in order can handle pressing the same button 3 times?

Let's been clear 123 is not hard, it just isn't we aren't dealing with 8 move combos or time sensitive abilities at present it is literally 123 versus 111. There are valid arguments for why they should not implement this system but difficulty isn't one of them.

Because pressing 1 button 3 times is easier. Also we do have classes that only press one button while doing mechanics, not every class has a combo system.

Since your example was about DPS clases (and since a class which presses one button already wouldn't be affected by this system anyway)? I'm genuinely curious which DPS class only uses one button?

And it wouldn't be one button press anyway, it would be one button pressed 3 times for each linear combo, which is very very easy, I just don't think the current system is hard.

No class uses only one button, not even those who would be affected by a consolidation, as last time I checked all melees had skills outside of combos. But what I meant is: bard will use heavy shot most of the time, summoner will use ruin 3 most of the time, machinist will use split shot very often, whm will use stone most of the time, and so.

It doesnt auto though it just binds the combo to a single button you still have to postion/move for it.

Also doing that would allow us to get more and more attacks so rlly our button input would go up with it

Would be 1111 for combo 1 22222 for combo 2 33333 for combo 3 then throwing in things that may trigger like verfire,fire stone...

I think it would work better as letting us create a combo set than use an auto one though
