Honest Review of Combos and a Suggestion

[Estellios]

For how simple the combos are, I think CNJ is a good example of skills being useful outside the combos.

Aero adds a nice DoT, you can toss it out whenever you have a spare moment.

Aerora is AOE and is pretty much Dispelga. As we get more involving fights you can bet we will get enemy/boss groups that will enjoy buffing each other and making themselves a pain in the ass. Comboing Aero > Aerora limits the latter to Single Target but increases its Accuracy, allowing you to dispel/damage a single enemy within a group that you don't want to get hate on.

Stone has a low recast and lowers Earth Evasion, making it nice and spammable for damage.

Stonra has a pretty reliable Heavy effect which is amazing now that most enemies have lost their Ranged Attacks. You get more damage from the Stone > Stonra combo but it gets limited to a single target, and having a means of slowing down multiple enemies' movements can be really useful.

Of course, the simple use of non-combo'd Aerora and Stonra is to mow down weak enemies while farming =P

I genuinely have a great deal of fun with the new combo system and when we get the Team Attacks it might add an extra layer of strategy that might be appealing to you.
