Combo Action Button

[Gralna]

I'd prefer not to have a combo button and keep skill rotations as they are.

If we keep oversimplifying where does it end? combine all combos to one button press, get rid of damage boosters and just bake them into combo potencies, get rid of alternate combo trees and just bake them into the base combo button, reduce every class down to just spamming one button. No thanks, I'll take my "artificial" difficulty over mindlessly pressing 1 button all day.

Again, putting combos on one button or three won't change anything about "skill rotations", nor weaving oGCD between WS.

Depth of gameplay is knowing the skill rotation, not mistaking what buttons you need to press.

Yeah it wouldn't change anything except maybe that you don't have to learn any rotation anymore. The funny part is that all the combo button "fanatics" think that the skills and combos would stay the same, you can bet they won't.

How about SE does it in another way? Integrate 1 button and i mean 1 button only which lets all the poor souls who are overwhelmed with all these evil buttons have their complete rotation including OGCD on this single button and the rest of the players keep their buttons how they like?

Do you really learn your WS rotation like 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-6-5 instead of Heavy-Impulse-Disenbowel-Chaos-Wheeling-Fang-True-Vorpal-Full-Fang-Wheeling ?

Again, it's really bad when all people like you could use as an argument is such blatant overexaggeration. But I guess "ending a combo you started" must be a top tier skill for you if button slots are so important.

How would anyone not know that WT comes after F&C which comes after FT which comes after VT which comes after TT by level 70? Do you honestly expect that those underperforming are doing so for THAT reason?

Here's your usual consolidation scheme applied to the least consolidated job.

• F&C and WT, mutually exclusive abilities, are combined.
• Sonic Thrust, which cannot viably be used without using Doomspike first, is now a second stage from Doomspike.
• Mirage Dive now replaces Jump for the 15 seconds it's available after using Jump.
• Mirage Dive now replaces Spineshatter Dive for the 15 seconds it's available after using Spineshatter Dive.

That's it. GCD skill as numbers, oGCDs as letters, with changes in brackets, your opener is now: A 1 BC 2 DE 3 F[e] 4 G 5 [G] [5] 6 7 8 5 [5] instead of A 1 BC 2 DE 3 FG 4 H 5 G 6 7 8 J 9 6 5.

"Oh no, our 14 separable actions now require 20 buttons, down from 23! All those noobs will be all up in my percentages!"

Now that I think of it, I wonder if a macro of f4 + b4 + enochian would work...

Can't queue macros, sadly. It's doable with a good deal of button spam and error spam, but the DIY consolidation probably wouldn't be worth the frustration.
