why would u want to combo them? they are not DD just for debuff or run away from the mob, if u really want to combo them it would be just a waste of mp
In a party if i cast Fire > Fira > Firaga I will surely die.
If i could follow up with Blizzard > Blizaara i could at least bind the mobs in place and have a chance to survive.
Granted this may not work given that enemies die so fast.
I will counter your arguement:- Why would you not want more strategy in your gameplay ?
Blizzard could also combo with sleep to increase the chance of sleep sticking. (Dark seal may already do this I guess though)

If Blizzard>>Blizzara bind targets then I understand why they don't combo. It would make mages way too OP (more than what they are now)
First, Blizzara itself is instant-cast, making it useful for instant CC bind AoE.
Second, in a party bind wears off on hit so you'd still be getting thrashed thanks to fellow party members.
Finally, don't bother with Firaga.
XI: Zeroblade, Titan Server
I don't very often in all honesty.
But I do see a lot of people say dont' bother with Thundaga and Firaga, I don't even know why we have the spells if we don't bother with them /sigh
Your 2nd point brings up the other issue such as why bother with CC if mister MRD just breaks it, this has always been the cause with CC though.

I for one would love to be able to combo Blizzarra and maybe get an increased acc for the enfeeble. Even so bind does not last forever and it will wear off if someone attacks the mob, so I really don't see an issue with it being over powered, I think the issue is whiteknightseverythingisperfectdonttouchitsyndrom.
Give me a real reason that comboing blizzara is a bad idea.

How should a Blizzard > Blizzara combo help you in this situation
If the monsters are still away from you, use Blizzard to slow down their movement speed and go away from them.
If the monsters are already on you, ignore Blizzard and use Blizzara to bind every monsters directly near you and then go away from them.
What Felis said.
The Bind effect already lands a LOT and lasts a good amount of time, especially when you invest in some Piety. Blizzard is when you know something is/will be coming for you and Blizzara is when there is stuff already on you or multiple enemies attacking the group on pull. You can run in and Blizzara, then run out. Needing to combo it for it to be any good like is required balance-wise for most combo moves would really hamper its utility as an emergency move.
