Any plans for Skillchains?

light and heavy attack can be mixed in any combo for def down, not just light+light and Heavy+Heavy. Also i try to always stack 3 incase one misses.

the problem with that approach is that to get the most out of a BR you must have a new skill type in the 3rd position, for example WS => WS => Spell or Spell => Spell => WS. If you have WS => WS => WS => Spell, the spell is no longer 3rd and damage from it is not as good unless the first WS misses. But as far as the regular attacks you are correct, I didn't list all possible combos.

no, i emant for def down. light+light+heavy or heavy+light+heavy, any combination. Only 2 of the three have to hit for def down.

but again, it's more effective if you use light => light => magic attack or even light => heavy => magic attack

The reason is that regular attacks are not very likely to miss and you get the added debuff of magic def down in addition to phys def down.

but they do miss, Im not saying my way is the best or anything that's just what i do. If you hit all three you are not penalized for it and you can still go light+light+light+magic and get the added bonus. We were killing spitfire the other night over and over again and with only 2 of us doing the def down BR, we would get a miss here and there and have to do it again. Oh well, was just a tip, not trying to force my ideas on you.

was somebody in the pt gimp or something? like someone with like 13 dex playing MRD or LNC? Last night when we were doing them we maybe missed two out of 30 or 40 tries.

I dont know every ones stats, but we did go from doing rank 30 leves to rank 50 classes, so there was some class switching going on. We dont really go all out for low lvl nms, so who knows. Anyways, seems as though you have a way thats working for you so thats all that matters.

anyway, you should give the combo I listed earlier a try, the one w/ two separate BRs, it's amazing

I hope so. Battle Regimens have a whole host of problems.

I outlined the problems with the current system and potential short and long term fixes to the system for a more enjoyable, cooperation-oriented battle system here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...llChains2.0%29
