Mercedes

I think Mercedes classes should take advantage of this

There's this great combo that I don't see many Mercs using out there. It especially helps at the bottom platform of LHC and other flat training spots.
The combo is as follows:
Rising Rush > Moonsault > Leaf Tornado > Gust Dive > Repeat.
You could put Gust Dive first, but I put it last because It can be macro'd with Leaf Tornado, making execution much easier. Rising Rush doesn't work well in macros. This combo is great because it has iFrames throughout the entire combo and you will never get hit unless you pause for a moment. It's extremely useful on mobs that do a lot of damage.

Hope anyone who didn't know about this before makes good use of this!

Ill try this when I eventually play my merc again. Always nice to see some people contribute skill advice.

The combo is possible but it often disintegrates when I do it 3 times
like I fall too early after I moonsault

Pretty sure a lot of people know this already if they really don't know they kinda fail as Mercedes in my eyes, especially the one that got to 4th job.

@marcoser2
You could also use rising rush after your gust dive, so you don't have to wait.

I do this combo alot but the downside is that i have to wait a few seconds after gust dive while i could've just used leaf tornado twice

I prefer using Gust Dive > Rising Rush purely for rushing. Don't really like adding Rolling Moonsault/Leaf Tornado into it while I rush.

When the mobs hit the wall (like at LHC), I prefer one of two combos:

Rising Rush > Rolling Moonsault continuously for complete invincibility.

Rising Rush > Rolling Moonsault > Double Leaf Tornado when you just don't care about getting hit.
