Almost like they could give you 5 stacks (one for a empowered req HS, rest blades) and just remove Goring blade in its current form and no one would really notice.
I agree that Goring Blade is a bit odd at present, as it could be baked into Req+Friends, or removed entirely, and it would probably feel about the same. This is just my personal preference, but I've never been a fan of branching combos, so I am actually a much bigger fan of Goring Blade now than I was previously; since one of my biggest struggles with the game is button bloat, combos are my bane! One of them is fine for me, as I understand that it gives us something slightly involved to do when nothing else interesting is happening, and I get that every second of play can't be the coolest parts. But at least for me, more combos would just make my experience worse. So if combo time does feel too spacious and dull — which it sounds like it does for you, and that's completely valid! — my hope is that they can address that by giving us something more interesting to do to break that up. Like if Req is now on a 30-second cooldown, but on the 30 second mark it's doing Big Magic Swords while on the 60 second mark it's doing something else, kind of like how Bahamut toggles into Phoenix. Or heck, I'm not entirely opposed to more combos, but I need them to consolidate or remove plenty of the other buttons so that I have hotbar space! I'm already using so many macros to try to keep it all comfy and reachable...Anyway! all of that is just to say that I want your problems to be solved and my problems to be solved, and hopefully the devs can find a harmonious way to make us both happy ^^
