An interesting idea, however, they did this in FFXI Skillchains (Certain abilities combined together that produced extra damage to the monster) it just wasn't graphically spiffed up. However, it would be cool to have an elemental spell combined with a WS just for eye candy, the opening CG is deceiving. I think BR are great the way they are now, because they are more than just extra damage, they provide an important debuff essential to taking down tough enemies. The only thing I will agree on is that it is extremely cumbersome. There is no easy way to cancel it other than disengaging, which takes a few precious seconds. I believe this is the only real thing they need to work on, otherwise it's a pretty fool proof system upgrade to skill chaining.
