What would you guys think about getting more Dynamic, "Combo" abilities?

[CazzT]

I don't think it dumbs things down. It just adds a layer of convenience

That's what leads to "dumbing things down".

Gonna get a "No" vote from me.

A lot of people want combos consolidating so we can have more abilities, not less.

Turning 6 buttons into 3 creates space for 3 more skills. Skills that might require a modicum of thought.

I don't think it particularly "dumbs down" the game where you don't have to press 1 2 3, but instead can just press 1 several times...

And it would indeed allow for more open slots on the action bars, although like I said, It'd be like 2 or 3 buttons for most classes...
But, MNK you can easily free up a total of 6 buttons, DRG could free up 8, and SAM that was brought up could 6 if you consolidate their 3 regular weaponskill combos and their 2 aoe combos...

And on the topic of opening up spots on action bars, it's always a mild worry around every expansion release how they'll manage to fit in all the new skills. With consolidating the combos to a single button, they would have less of that for the next expansion...
