    Or for War you can do the opposite and break your combo to end on 3 to refresh your buff before downtime.

    It's not supah deep, it doesn't make or break your parse to any notable degree, but there are reasons to break your combo. I'm sure I could think up examples for other classes, but I don't play many at a high level lol.
    Knowing you have exactly 4GCD's until a mob dies or invulnerability phase starts up is something that will rarely, if ever, happen, but I guess that is one use for breaking combos if you're trying to extreme min/max something.

    There's no reason that throwing the basic combo buttons onto different keybinds couldn't still be an option; but 99.99999% of the time I'd still want them consolidated, though.
