In my experience, combing mode will drag the nozzle across the print too violently and often results in the print getting knocked loose depending on the surface area. I'd rather deal with some plastic 'spiderweb' than have to reprint something 17 times. A lighter or heat gun will take care of it in seconds after removing the bulk with your fingers.
