    I'm a little curious, if you use the other offensive abilties between the macro cast times, how would that harm your dps?

    For ex: if you have it set wait 2 seconds between abilties, and use a non macro attack that doesnt share the same cool down timer between the preset macro abilities, then you would essentially be attacking non stop.

    It doesn't work Evantide. For one, you dont have enough off GCD skills to fill the gaps in your rotation. For two, there is no one who has a GCD wait time of 2, if they do, they are gimping themselves with way too much skill speed. Your GCD is probably something like 2.38 - so your wait time of 2, will immediately be rounded up to 3 by the game, so you are taking 3 seconds between each skill, where a manual player can get it exactly at 2.38 everytime if they hit the buttons early, as the server is "queueing" your request for action. This queue does not happen with macros either.
