So, the button merging feature... did I get this right?

[ZiraZ]

For a start, weird take to think it wouldn't be optional aka player choice. If it is easier for prog or if someone finds it easier to press it sequentially that's preference. I also would rather see the optional feature happen and have actual data on how frequently it is used let alone enjoyed.

Second, Dragoon is a special case because it actually wouldn't operate like that. The only true combos are True/Raiden Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust -> Heaven's Thrust, True/Raiden Thrust -> Disembowel -> Chaotic Spring and ofc the Coearthan Torment combo. Fang and Claw, Wheeling Thrust and in 7.X+ Drakesbane are not combo actions and instead actions available from buffs granted by Heaven's Thrust and Chaotic Spring. So at most youd have 111 3 4 222 4 3 as a sequence.

They would absolutely just add all those weaponskills into the full combo 1 button if they're gonna go as far as enabling pvp combos.
High Jump and Mirage Dive are not marked as a combo in the actions guide but they are gonna work like one in DT(and they already did once before they reverted the change mid-endwalker)
Anyways I do not think it would come down to preference when shoved in your face like this and would rather see combos gone at that point.
