Blindside Attacks don't combo?

[Kerwin]

Blindside: Makes your next weaponskill a critical hit when executed from behind the target. Does not effect auto-attacks or spells.

But It won't let me combo weapon skills. At least when I play lancer with the ability. Description needs to be re-worded to say will not combo or give us combo please.

In order to perform a combo, you have to use the skill from the direction it says in the skill's description. The only skill lancer has that combos from behind is vorpal thrust. If you try using blindside on any other skill, it's not going to combo.

That said, it would be silly to use blindside with vorpal thrust since the combo bonus is increased crit rate. It's better to use blindside on something that a.) doesn't have a naturally high crit rating, b.) is a single hit WS, since blindside only effects the first hit of a multi-hit WS and c.) is at the end of a combo so the direction doesn't matter. By process of elimination, that leaves you with doomspike.

Thanks Zetsume. I guess that makes sense.
