[POLL] Combo System

[Fated]

ITT OP makes a one sided poll so he can get thumbed.

The combo system is a great introduction, however, it needs a ton of refinement.

The combo system is a solid base for what can become a great tool - for both solo and party play. Giving solo combo ability obviously helps solo players to keep damage up without the tp and mp cost. The situation is similar for party play as well; tanks can use WSs to increase enmity and dps can increase damage to keep chains alive etc. Also, though, intuition points to a clear development of cross class combos that will most likely be accompanied with "magic burst" type bonuses - the same idea in place for FFXI. This will most likely be introd with 1.21; seeing as those new classes are to be more defined party roles.

The positioning aspects of certain combos is important as well. Think about when mobs become harder to kill and fights become longer. Combos will be used to attack certain physical features of mobs - necessary to win the fight or get specific drops (speculation at best but this is SE). So the long and the short of it is that the combo system is primitive at the moment; but, looks to be very promising.

Umm, how is it one sided? He simply asked if you like it or not. Thats 2 opposing choices, and he offerse nothing in an attempt to push your opinion one way or the other.

This.

I like the combo system and I don't want them to abolish it, but allow us more combo flexibility. Get rid of the position requirements (but keep the position bonuses). Give us more combos to choose from - I don't like doing the same 2 or 3 combos over and over again. Give us an incentive to use combos, but also give us an incentive to use singular skills - more options, more things we can combo into and out of, etc.
