Bard Macro lvl 60

[liljramos88]

So I may make a topic about this for each class I play but I would like to know what macros the bard comunity use at lvl 50 now that we have new skills. I use a controler(ps4). For example I had all my buffs in a macro an was hearing that was good in earlier versions anyways what macros do bards use now.

Don't use macros ever. They don't allow you to queue up skills and abilities when they're about to come off cooldown.

I once used that buff macro...and my dps was terrible. Really, if you want to play bard seriously, give up this idea of macros now. It will just give you bad habits you will eventually have to break, and THEN you will have to learn to bloodletter manually, which isn't even hard, so start now.

bards already have to play quite well to do acceptable dps, don't make your life harder.

This is my list of macros I use when I play my bard:

Edit: real answer
I use a controller (Xbox) with my PC, I just like it better. I use the extended Crossbar as well, has my "oh shit" second wind button as well as WM (easy access to turn on and off) and my Barrage, even Invigorate... on my second hotbar is songs and AOE stuff. All the other stuff fits on my first hotbar, yes, even the new skills + each buff individually. It's very nice.

Man people really ride Macro users hard. It's not even that big of a deal, just because you use a macro does not mean you can't do things manually AS WELL. It's just a little easing for those people who don't have the reactions of E-sports player on speed.

You make me cry

You make me cry

Yeah yeah, everybody who does not use a macro is amazing and those who do just flat out suck right? Don't care. I use it, i'm not a burden to my static, i can pass the DPS checks and it allows me to play how i want. Would my DPS be slightly better without it? Yeah definitely. Would i be more stressed and have less fun? Yeah definitely.

Macros are even less feasible with cast times. It went from "you'll get a little bit if DPS loss if you clip your oGCDs" to "You'll get a dps loss because you will clip your oGCDs"
