    Sorry but your combo macros are highly inefficient. It's highly unrecommended to use GCD abilities in macros as such because it's much slower then you using the abilities yourself. SMN already has a slow ramp up time compared to the other DPS. Like this you're ensuring you're even futhur behind.

    Believe me when I say that .5 second GCD you're losing adds up over time very quickly. Let's say this is during the first 10 seconds of a fight. I need only 2.5 seconds max to get off all I need. 7.5 seconds I already have my 3 DoTs up, I've already used Fester and I'm working on either Shadow Flare + Contagion or Miasma 2 + Contagion during the GCD depending on where I need to be positioned for the boss. For you: 10 seconds and you've just finished your first Fester

    Another thing wrong about your macros is how early you seem to be using Virus. Virus is best saved for when you know a big attack is about to hit. If you waste Virus as such and the boss readies his attack "Oh crap Antibody's up"
    Looking at it, you most likely won't get 2 Festers during 1 Raging Strikes duration because of all the seconds you've lost relying on Macros and that extra .5 second you're using per skill
