User-Defined Combo Buttons

I'd like to be able to define a new button which triggers multiple talents, if available, and ignores unavailable talents (due to gear swapping or being on CD or low mana or whatever) with just a log message saying why the ignore happened.

Talent order would need to be preserved: if I want to trigger a Shield rune and a Regen infusion, I want the order to be Shield then Regen always.

Ideally, there would be a visual indication of three states:
- All combo talents available
- Some combo talents available, some not -- maybe show max cooldown on the button? maybe show constituent cooldowns in the tooltip?
- None available (button disabled in this case)

Also ability to trigger combos the same way current talents can be triggered. Combos could have targets for example for Paradox Mage: Redux, Gravity Well, Gravity Spike.

Basically some kind of macro recording that ToME2 had. With no experience in coding it would sound possible.

It should be. The real question is how much effort it will require.

I like the idea, though I'm taking a break from UI coding for a bit.

i always bind combo-abilities on closely positioned buttons. like:
alt+1: hidden resources
alt+2: time shield
alt+3: combat accuracy
alt+4: blinding speed
alt+5: shield rune
alt+6, 7, 8: dont remember
alt+9: timeless

note that all those skills are instant so I can just hold alt and then swipe my finger from 1 to 9 on the keyboard in half a second. works pretty cool.

there are combat combos as well, I bind them on consequent hotkeys like qwert, asdfg and such to access easily.
