@Joe: I can link it with charge drive, but the thing is that doing that will not allow charge drive to rush all the monsters to one side. Furthermore, charge drive must be pressed immediately after Gust Drive (during the GD animation), so I can't delay the skills a bit ala Dual Blade's Flying Assaulter -> Tornado Spin.
I'm thinking, perhaps getting more jump will delay GD (more airtime) enough to give CD the space of time necessary to rush all the monsters properly. I don't have jump equips though, so can't test it. =\
edit: tested by jumping off platforms various times. GD-> CD does seem to work properly when GD is pressed high on the air (the GD animation kind of gets stuck in the air for a moment and CD activates when the character touches the ground). So I think it's probable that getting more jump will allow people to do GD->CD properly. Which pretty much turns Mercedes into a Dual Blade without the high damaging assaulter. High kick demolition makes up for that though...
