Maybe. Most likely not, however. My computer has very low sepcs, and for some reason Fraps will not work. For that matter, nothing that takes videos/SS will (other than print screen + paste in paint). I'm not sure why this happens (it was after a reformat and I thought I reinstalled all the right drivers).
Combo isn't for the panic/coma. It is for the extra damage, I beleive it gives more than the stated value if you have more orbs. Go play with the formula, but I noticed a large jump in damage after every new orb. Second, soul charge is good. However, its elemental bonus increases with level. At level one you only have 5% elemental bonus! Fromt there on it increases 1% per level. This takes awhile to actually be worthwhile. I believe you will do better doing combo first, even on holy-weak mobs. Someone should play with the numbers though and check it. Also, you might be better off just getting 21 brandish at level 100. That 9 SP into combo/soul charge will help a lot. If you do this then you'll still max advanced combo at 110. Lastly, you'll use soul driver a lot (once it beats soul blade). I'm sure you'll be a god at himes with it. . .
Though you do get a significant bonus increase from each orb, level 13 Soul Charge on Advantage beats Level 20 5 Orb Combo. For every point, Soul Charge is better than Combo.

Unless they changed the formula for Combo Attack for Cygnuses, in which case it should still be no higher than 140% at max like a regular Crusader.
