A More Convenient Combo System

[Andrien]

By setting up a chain combo hotkey, it'll allow the game to let you put all your favorite skills combo in one. Rather than pressing 1,2,3, you can just execute a combo by pressing 1,1,1. The skill icon on the action bar will change to correspond correctly with the combo. Typically, after you use the first chain skill, that icon on your action bar switches to one of the second chain skills, because you can't use it if you don't use the chain start skill first.

This way you can just concentrate on combat without pressing so many skill buttons, and flicking through the action bar. It is not always easy pressing 3-5 icons on the action bar and timing them correctly, especially if you're a PLD. The pace of combat is fast in this game, so players should not be burdened. Comboing should only require correct positioning, and timing. This will also help with PvP.



Edit: since some need more clarification. I think it is safe to assume we'll get more skills and abilities in the future, and at some point in time the action slots wont be able to hold everything.
