BRD macro

[EasymodeX]

How does placing bloodletter on a heavy/straight shot, "reduce" DPS? If you're not using that every time it is up you're wrong.

Because any on-GCD ability in a macro disables ability queuing [or seems to, by all signs]. As a result there's a typical 0.1-0.6s delay on using the Heavy Shot (or Straight Shot) depending on how hard you're spamming the button.


For oGCD buffs, you generally want to stack them anyways, so there's little general reason not to use them on macro together.

The only case where this is not true is:

1. Using BFB because of incoming damage.
2. Saving cooldowns, in which case you can still have all your damage buffs together (you can just not press the button), but you don't want Bloodletter combined with them. So you'd have:

1 - ME + BL
2 - ME + BL + all buffs except BFB
3 - ME + BL + BFB

You'd use #2 in a generic situation. Use #1 when saving cooldowns. Use #3 when the boss won't gib you from unavoidable damage.
