I actually like the fact that certain combos have to be executed under the right circumstances. And I appreciate that it may not always be able to get into that circumstance to execute the combo.

I think that's perfectly fine. And rather than change the combo system to be allowed 'regardless' of positioning/etc, perhaps what we need is a few extra skills per job, that can be comboed regardless of positioning?

I.e.: If I could sneak up behind it I could execute Sneak Attack....sneak..sneak.. oh darn, he turned, quick execute sideswipe!

Presently: The strategy needed for combos (at least for THM, CNJ and ARC as the only jobs I do) is soooo weak, that to make it any easier you might as well have a button marked: BONUS DAMAGE and just spam that.

I miss timing Magic Burst >.>

(SideNote: Anyone read about cross-team weapon skill chaining and Magic Bursts, ala FFXI being planned for FFXIV?)

Thank you.
