Aran Skill Tables

Yes. More proof that you need to be really good to master an Aran. It seems that for combat step to be fully effective you need to jump right after you land from the skill being used. It seems skeles are, for arans...effective...

I think the big boost for combat step also has to do with the terrain: the floor may seem flat, but it's uneven which makes you jump higher if you time it right (try spamming jump in the Ant Tunnel if you hadn't already, high chances you might get launched). I believe this technique also works for Dawn Warriors.

Jumping after an action seems really important: monsters launched by Final Toss are hit more easily, jumping during an attack allows you to move more(allowing you to keep up your combo) and of course Combat Step bringing you further(I do believe you need really good timing for it to get it's full effect).

100 Combo doesn't seem hard to get, but with you dealing 5 hits to each monster every base combo it shouldn't take long. Now if we just had maps with mobs of 12 (this would mean you could get 72 combo every Normal Hit~Final Blow).
