So why the GNB cartridge combo need 3 different bottoms for its GCD?

Title

Unlike any other combos in the game, you can't miss click any one of the 3 combo GCD after you start it:
C1 is not spam-able with a 30sec CD
C2 and C3 can only be active after C1 and C2, not spam-able either.
In short you can't do it wrong even intentionally and it's even just one bottom in the PvP mode.
So why do we need to have 3 separate bottoms for this? As a controller player this is super annoying for me.

I just...put the Gnashing Fang combo on one button. Like you said, unlike other combos only one step of GF can ever be active at any given time so it's not like anything can fire off in the wrong order.

I'm sure that's sacrilege to some, but I tried it that way and the normal way and if there's a difference, it's measured in fractions of a second. Frankly, I don't care at that point.

tbh I'd prefer it if the cartridge combo were a single button as well. Continuation already works that way despite also being 3 separate skills, so I don't see any reason I should have to hotbar all 3 when it's only possible to use them in sequence

Those bottoms, such a messy bunch!

Back on topic, GNB does have a lot of buttons compared to let's say WAR which has a lot of free space.

I use the PS4 gamepad on pc and I have zero issues with GNB, I prefer the gnashing fang combo current status, it's much more easy to track on what step of the combo I am with my fingers, other wise I would be forced to stare at the same button to control his progress and is pretty counterintuitive for me. PVE don't need the excessive oversimplification of PVP.

The reason is simple.

If the Renzo combo was just one button that you pressed repeatedly, the official forums would realise that it is actually a more forgiving version of Inner Release in disguise. And then you'll never hear the end of it.

even so, you don't see the same animation 5 times :P

Thats actually Burst Strike.

More on topic, Gnashing Fang has its own cooldown and is a weaponskill, when you begin the combo it starts ticking, if it were a single button the CD for sure wouldn't start until you finished all the steps, which would make the job slower.
And if they changed it to oGCDs then you will have a DA lvl spam with ShB MCH deficit.

But it's the same setting in the PvP mode of GNB and they have no issue handling it in one button.

I wish they'd add the option to allow people to customize combos like this. I know I was completely out of room when I first tried GNB, and wanted this. Now I don't, but if given the option to put certain combos into one hotkey alone, I wouldn't object.
