Combo's, What are they, how to you make and use them?

COMBO'S

Now, it has come to my attention that many members, especially new ones don't know about combo's. How to make or use them, so here is a quick guide.

To start, press the "R" key on your keyboard, this will bring up your skills box. If you look at the bottom of the box, you will see a section called "COMBO SKILLS". To start off, hit the new Button, and magically another box will pop up, the one that allows the creation of the combo.

Press "R" will bring up this box.


Now, as you can see in the second box, there are two area's, the combo itself, and the selection icons. To start the creation, click a symbol in the selection icons, this will represent the combo you are making [figure 1]. Now on the top left of the first box you will see all your skill icons and on the top of your right box you will see eight empty boxes. Can you guess what we gonna do now..that's right kiddies, make the combo. The first step in a combo creation is working out what you want it to do, taking into account the cool down time of some skills, putting two skills of the same kind one after the other will break the combo as it won't have time to cool down before being used again. Think of the fighting combination that you use regularly, most people have them, a set of skills they fire off one after the other while fighting. Now with that in mind, starting from the left, drag the skills from your skill list in the left box to the empty boxes in the combo line [figure 2], then the second, the third and so on, till the list is full, if your a warrior or a beast, it's best to make the last skill the sword, you can see that under the second last box on the combo line, this makes sure that if your combo runs out before the mob is killed you will automatically go into melee mode. When your finished making the combo, click on save [figure 3], and you will see the icon representing your combo appear in the combo area of your skills list [figure 4]. It's best to make numerous combo's, ones that deal with differnt types of mobs the best. And ALWAYS REMEMBER, if you have a skill interrupt, it will break the combo and you will have to restart it, so always keep an eye on it.

Creating the combo, in 4 easy steps.


Now finally, once your brand spanking new shiny combo is made, it's time to make it usable. Drag if from the combo list [figure 1] down into one of your quick slots [figure 2] and your done. When targeting a mob, just hit your combo and watch the pretty effects, keeping an eye out for skill interrupts, now as you use them, watch them, and see if some fine tuning will help, maybe swapping a skill order around or such, till they are perfect. And there you go, your all combo'd up. Hope this helps and helps you enjoy the game more.

Move your combo into place for use.


Oh, and as a side note, one TOTALY BEAUTIFUL SIDE EFFECT OF COMBO'S...if your lagging, you will find you fight much better as the commands are queued up already and will fire away as fast as possible, much faster than you can.
