No. So much wrongs! Please don't do any of this. I will be happy to give you lessons and teach you the ways of the BLM, but no, just no, to all of this. First let me just start off saying you shouldn't have any problems with having room on 1 hotbar + expanded. I just rearranged my hotbars for the new skills and I can still make it work. You probably have abilities on your main hotbar that don't need to be there and can be moved to hotbar #2. Its good to have CDs such as Manaward and Apoc on the expanded hotbar since you use them situationally. Putting additional hotbars vertically and horizontally next to your main hotbar is helpful as you can put those Unseen CDs on them so you can see your timers. And while I'm on that, Manward, Manawall, Apoc, Lethargy, Virus, Eye for an Eye are all utilities. They all have their own purpose and you don't use them together. Manaward is magic defense for yourself, and Manawall blocks two physical attacks. You're not taking magic and physical damage at the same time, so why would you use them together. If you have a party member that just rez'd and has weakness and a big magic attack is coming, Apoc them. But you just wasted your manawall and manaward because you wanted to Apoc a party member. Or maybe you just rez'd and that same magic attack is coming, now Manaward should be used, not Manawall or Apoc. Get my point?


On another note your rotation should be Fire III > Fire I x 5 > Blizz III > Thunder 1 or 2 depending on your piety and or preference > Blizz 1 if you have high SS and/or need to wait for another mana tick before going back into Astral Fire. Raging Strikes is mostly used in conjunction with Convert since they share a CD timer. So you would use it like, Fire III > Raging Strikes > Fire I x 5 > Swiftcast > Flare > Convert > Fire 1 > Blizz III.

You really shouldn't use any moacros to string together abilities. It lowers your DPS, and gives you no control over what your doing. Its just bad. Period. You use macros for other purposes. I for one use two macros as a controller player. A Face Target Macro which helps against moving targets to prevent interupts and an Aetherial Manipulation macro which I link with Party member #2 (healer) since I can't really do a mouseover macro and healers usually are standing outside of danger.

Please don't get into the habit of using macros. This won't make you a better player. I promise that.
