With that said, I also like the suggestion Leon had about an AOE type stance. Not that it need be mutually exclusive, but there's non-combo using jobs which also utilise a lot of button space, so that would be beneficial there. Their design is just not very economical in some cases, where it could be.
So take DRG as an example. They have 1-2-3-4-5 then also 1-6-7-5-4
SAM 1-2-3, 1-4-5, 1-6
I don't even want to look at MNK atm...
I'm literally just looking at basic combo chain skills.
However ranged physical dps don't have a 1-2-3 combo because their basic weapon skill abilities are pretty much a process of pressing 1 until a proc happens that highlights 2 and 3.
Ranged magical DPS don't really have a 1-2-3 combo either as they're more about skill synergies and resource mechanics.
