    I supose its fair if you want to free yourself 1 button for the Reprisal part, but you'll be mashing the button constantly if you want it to work properly O.o.

    Also... Reprisal doesn't lock you in the ground. I can move freely around when I use it myself. And I don't have it macroed, I have every single skill on a button.

    Why is it the worst idea? 1 press for Shadowskin and if its out and you need Wall, just press again and it will skip SS since its on CD and you will get SW. Don`t see why its the worst idea...

    About reprisal, yeah, it does not lock me anymore, I guess it was some kind of bug or anything, works fine now.

    The game tries to cast the skills in the succession they're listed and skips the ones on Cooldown. And if there's no wait between the casts it will only cast one Spell, the first one available in the list.
    I've arranged my CDs from shortest to longest - that way you can use you "inexpensive" CDs regularly and if the fight gets harder you can pop your stronger Cooldowns on top of or after that.

    It's pretty much the only macro I use on DRK but I find it incredibly useful.
    That`s the point. Totally agree.

    This is exactly why I asked. I personally think it's a great idea and makes life THAT much easier.

    Read through the old WAR guide post I mention and tell me his explanation doesn't make complete sense.
