Do you realise that you need to double the casting time to hit 62 with magic? Double casting time, double damage = comboing makes no difference. Same damage per minute as with non-comboing. Remember to count all the delays, also the delay after the spell. You aren't going to knock anyone out with slow 60. You would need to do it (30+30) in the speed of DDS special. DDS special takes one round, while a magic combo takes two rounds. Please, you haven't tried to magic combo. It takes two rounds but the damage splats SHOW UP AS ONE ROUND. Good luck trying to eat through that. I have tried comboes. Looks don't matter, only damage per time matters. Hit-eat-hit-eat or eat-hit-hit-eat. What's the difference? Remember that you can't KO anyone with 60 damage in 2 rounds unless you PJ or your character is a low level pure mage. That's the typical argument from people who haven't used it a lot in PvP. The spells you use to combo has different effects which add to your KO capability, the average dps is higher, there's NO way to to anticipate the attack and eat before it hits. It's only hithit-eat. You are capable to doing 105 damage if you use DFS spec, way enough to KO.
