BUT if you don't, the spell will fail, but the the macro will still progress meaning you skip a spell.
Spell 1.
2.5s
Spell 2.
2.3s (hit it too early)
Spell 3 fails.
2.5s
Spell 4.
If Spell 3 interacts with Spell 4 in any way, then it is even worse.
The macro does not (can't) take into account if you mistimed hitting the button. It only knows that you hit it, and hitting it means to go to the next spell in the macro.
