MAcros for every Machinist.

/macroicon "Rapid Fire"
/ac "Blood for Blood"
/ac "Hawks Eye"
/ac "Raging Strikes"

/macroicon "Wildfire"
/ac "Rapid Fire"
/ac "Wildfire"

/macroicon "Clean Shot"
/ac "Reassemble"
/ac "Clean Shot" <t>

/macroicon "Ricochet"
/ac "Gauss Round" <t>
/ac "Ricochet" <t>

/macroicon "Reload"
/ac "Quick Reload"
/ac "Reload"

/macroicon "Head graze"
/ac "Suppressive Fire" <t>
/ac "Head Graze" <t>
/ac "Leg Graze" <t>

The above graze macro will use suppressive fire (stun) when in range or Head Graze (silence) when out of range.

Rapid Fire icon is linked to the Damage Up macro to correspond with Wildfire.

Gauss Round is ready when Ricochet cooldown is at half.

Hawk's Eye

You can't pop three oGCDs inbetween two GCDs without significant clipping and I'm pretty sure pre-loading BFB, Hawk's Eye and Raging Strikes is a DPS loss compared to popping then individually. My MCH isn't 60 yet though so I haven't looked into rotations too much.

Great, now the bad dps is going to get worse because all the lazy idiots are gonna macro.

Can't speak for others but I never use skill macros in final. Tried it once and it was just wasted time and pretty annoying to play with. Pressing the buttons manually is much faster and doesn't produce constant error messages.^^

That's the only useful macro that i'm using now. Also, don't forget the recast:

/macroicon "Clean Shot"
/recast "Reassemble"
/ac "Reassemble"
/ac "Clean Shot" <t>

Do not use macros for DPS abilities. You are going to have a bad time.

Dont. Use. Macros. Please not! Otherwise you went full retard.

Especially, please dont use that "Quick Reload + Reload"-Macro. Its a waste of ammunition. And the last macro with "Head Grace" should be better on cooldown when you really need it.

The only macro i use is this one:
/macroicon "Hot Shot"
/ac "Hot Shot" <wait.25>
/e Damage Buff down in 5s <se.10>

Its a nice reminder to keep your damage buff on, even in busy situations.

More specifically, macros are exempt from being queued. In a normal situation, if I press an action button before my client has received the "all clear" from the server for my GCD finishing, it's queued up so that it immediately sends a signal to the server that I'm using an action as soon as the "all clear" signal is received. Macros don't have this capability, meaning that it has to wait until after the "all clear" signal has been received before sending the action use signal to the server. The delay is miniscule, but it adds up; I've seen DPS losses of 25% reported from using macros over doings things manually.
