This game is just way to hard...

I love how people simplified battles in ffxi, first consider this in order to deal damage in ffxi you had to memorize this


http://www.wilddragonchase.com/ffxi/NewSkillchain1.png for the readable version. The complexity from battles was not always in the battles, rather the complexity came from combat. And to date I still believe this was the best way to do combat in a mmo.

Unfortunately no one's actually used it seriously since 2005 or earlier. I started playing in '06 and when asked about skill chains, I was told to "Just go." When I got to Sky, I was again told, "Just go." It was a fun mechanic the few times I did get to use it but it was quickly abandoned for the spam method. Except for the career sam's who'd have their special macro for when they 2 hour.

I did it still in '07. At least in sky. Double light skillchain can do 2k-5k extra damage, then add the damage from the magic bursts to that. Of course, we had a lot of mages in our LS.

Then in the 30-40s you had THF SATA Viper Bite and close a distortion, with MB on that, it could take up to 75% of the mobs life.

Think it was used heavily on Wyrms also.

it was still being used as recently as 2014 with the release of the mob Kurma when it first came out the most effective way to kill it was to use a skillchain magic burst combo.
