Stoneskin macro not working.

I'm having an issue getting this macro to work properly:

/ac "Protect" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Stoneskin" <me>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Stoneskin" <2>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Stoneskin" <3>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Stoneskin" <4>

Protect gets cast without any issues but nothing happens after that. Obviously if I'm not in a party step 5 and on wards wont do anything, but the "Stoneskin" <me> does not even get cast. I've tried varying the wait times up to 3 seconds without any results either even though the recast time for protect and stoneskin is 2.49.

Can anyone test this for me please to see if you get similar results?

Thanks.

The decimals in /wait commands are ignored so you're effectivaly waiting only 2 s which is not enough. Minimum should be 3 s if not then 4. A good way of "debugging" macros is to switch your chat log to Battle tab to see if the chain of casts / fails there. In my own stoneskin macro I need to use wait 4 to make it work properly. Also - one word commands don't need to be closed in the qutation marks.

Decimal points do work as I can use /wait 2.5 with a stone II loop as well as a cure loop without any problems. Yes i have read the patch notes a while back about them removing the decimals, but if those looping macro's work with a recast time of 2.49 on each spell and /wait 2.5 works then that suggest that decimal points are not ignored. Also I did say that I tried /wait 3 without any results which shows the problem is not with my macro but with the engine itself. The fact you have to use /wait 4 for this to work is worthy of a bug report, we shouldn't have to spend an extra second to "work around" the problem.

Regarding the quotations, I do it on all my action macros to make it habit so I never forget to do it on non single word commands. It makes no difference either way on single words.

Could be an animation induced delay. There may be a 2.5s cast time/GCD before the spell "fires" but that doesn't mean the action is complete.
