    PGL/MNK macros

    I want to redo my hotbar with macro combos, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it have a variable pause based on greased lightning tier recast time.
    Is there some way to do that? /recast is useful for figuring out the time until i can cast it, is there some way to assign that to the wait value?

    I use 2 macros as a Monk :

    Code:
    /ac Demolish
    /ac Twin snake
    Code:
    /ac Snap punch
    /ac True strike
    My hotkeys are :

    1 : Dragon Kick
    2 : The first macro
    3 : Bootshine
    4 : The second macro
    5 : Touch of death
    6 : Fracture

    Which makes my rotation :

    Code:
    1 2 2 3 4 4 5 6
    1 2 2 3 4 4 6

    pug/mnk macros are not very good, since they speed up and slow down much too often for the macros to accommodate for them.

    And you'll more or less "loose" to a drg in damage unless you speed up/ slow down accordingly.

    recommend only making "buff" macros like internal/raging/etc. And get used to button mashing, you'll have to switch it up a lot later to even consider macros.

    solo, you can make a macro spam though.

    Not if you don't put the first spell of the combos in the macros (Bootshine and DragonKick).
    The problem with macros on monk is that if you button mash, the posture buff will proc after your hit on the button making your macro work only if you hit them slowly. But with just the 2nd and 3rd part of the 3 spell combos, you prevent that problem and that makes you save 2 actionbar slots.
