you dont actually have an issue with pvp combos, it's the entirety of scripted pve combat based on a gcd.
I don't have an issue with pvp combos in pvp because the pvp filler is mostly meaningless busywork to keep low pressure on the enemy, the core of the pvp kit is using cooldowns to try and burst people down or put enough pressure to outdamage their defenses while they try to do the same to you with crowd control added into the mix.
In PvE the point of the filler busywork is to make the least amount of mistakes possible while the boss throws mechanics at you, and to anyone that says the typical PvE 1-2-3 combo is impossible to ever screwup or calls it braindead is straight up LYING, specially when progging and still learning the fight. When the encounter throws a mechanic that requires spatial awareness or spinning things in your head or whatever, the very simple action of maintaining a 1-2-3 combo becomes a decent challenge when mixed with mechanics and puts pressure into the encounter as a whole. But people love to downplay this, maybe because they are all 100 parsing gods, maybe because they've cleared the fight 200 times? idk
