You didn't misunderstand, and I know they took them out, I remember how well they didn't work at all during beta and release, right up to when they said "We're going to rethink battle regimens", I think all of us at the time had the impression that we'd get something equivalent back, but that was not at all the case. Instead they gave us a very useful tool for soloing, and one that works in a party but in a party it kills the idea of DDs working together. Well beyond just "hey you stand over there and I'll stand here and we can mash combo's to see who hits harder" which isn't working together in a meaningful way.

I do like the combo system and would hate to see it go away, but I'd like to see it be diversified to allow for multi-person combos, not the sublimely broken regimens where you had to stop doing everything and queue actions then wait on everyone else to queue some actions and then wait some more til someone closed it out then wait some more while your actions went off. If by some miracle noone died, your target didn't wander off, and the queue executed properly it was ... well it was sad.
Not meaning to rant about a system that's no longer present sorry.
I can't remember how many "fix battle regimens before release" threads there were during beta but it was ALOT.
