    Because the choice between using Thunder 1 and Thunder 2 is dependent on whether you go for 251 Piety or not. If below 251 Piety, use Thunder 1. If at 251, use Thunder 2. There's never a need to have both Thunder 1 and Thunder 2 available to you. Combine that with the skill queueing issue that macros cause, and it's a DPS loss simply because you cast it a fraction of a second later.

    Really only matters to people who like to min/max. Not a big enough deal otherwise, but it's still, objectively, a DPS loss.

    Initial FireIII coming out of UI was 0 mp due to firestarter, you now have enough mp for TII at the end rather than TI. Happens almost 30% of the time if you are under 251 PIE.

    You're right. I was just thinking in more general terms. Having a 30% chance to have enough MP for T2 at the end of your Fire phase doesn't make up for how clunky a macro makes skill usage feel, in my opinion, especially with how small a DPS increase it is to use T2 over T1.
