[suggestion] Bring back skillchains/magic bursts

[Benediction]

Oh people use it. End game users use it. I use it for all my parties.

People just aren't informed.

It's great once you discover it.

[Darkshade]

It's... so so. I think it needs improvement.

It feels weird, rushed and slow at the same time.

There's a big rush on everyone queuing commands as fast as possible so the regimen can be initiated because of having to stop to setup the regimen is effectively stopping the flow of combat and many times players are called out for being to slow to add to the queue. It can be stressful.

I simply believe it needs tweaked or reworked some.

Yeah I agree on that. It needs a bit more tweaking. But this is essentially Skillchains/Magic Burst like on FFXI though

[Overdrive]

My friends and I agree the skillchain system in FFXI was vastly better than Battle Regimen.

[Tenchi]

The main issue with Battle Regimen is that you're locked into it once you've activated your skill. Granted that if you're good at it like me and my linkshell have it only takes a few seconds but we also use vent to help with that. you cannot use your keyboard to type to your party in this game with the 'action bar' so vent is actually more useful in this game espeically for Battle Regiments. Getting the defense down on a mob can make the difference of killing it before it rages and wipes the entire party.

Another fail on this system over the Skillchain system is that visually nothing happens it just seems lackluster compared to seeing a 3k dmg Light skillchain with magic burst.

[Abriael]

One of the best thing of skillchains is that they could actually happen randomly. That's what brought people to discover and utilize them on the first place, raising the intutiveness and then prompting players to look more into them.

Unfortunately this is impossible with regimens.

[Kiara]

Totally agree!

Please bring back Skillchains from Final Fantasy XI. It was a great system that worked so well. It was open, people could add their attacks and go on to do other actions and the effects were wonderful.

I agree with this. Especially if you play around with Battle Regimen... you could keep testing it out and never get it.

[Gracious]

Absolutely bring back skillchains and magic bursts.

my linkshell uses regimens all the time when we fight NM's. its very easy to use and makes nm's alot easier to fight. plus if you link up Bloodletter along with 10 other people, and your Bloodletter is at the top of the regimen list, then it hits super hard. regimen makes the skills you have linked do more dmg. i dont see how people think regimens are so laggy and cumbursome.
