Bard Macro lvl 60

[Nanga]

Somebody with a sensible outlook.



I wonder how people who don't use a Macro know that people who do use Macro can't pass DPS checks?

We will see. I'll come back to you when is my static start savage.

Yeah, I must be an anomaly. I macro everything due to a war injury limiting my hand use. I also wreck Ravana-ex in my sleep, as well as Alex-NM. Yep, my DPS is a little behind other bards for A1 Savage, but heck...my missing 75dps is not the reason we were unable to get under 10%. Healers were OOM, tanks had wasted their CD's at bad times, and were collapsing way too early.

I get compliments from many DF groups on how well I do the "bard thing", being johnny-on-the-spot with the right songs, at the right time, for the right durations, etc. Contributing to the group's overall effectiveness, more efficiently than most, more than makes up for my missing ultra min-max 75dps.

In other words: anyone who subscribes to the notion that bards who macro are a disability to their group, are just wrong. It's a notion by super elitists who can't stand spending an extra minute doing the same content they cleared one less minute the day before.

Not everyone is pro. Nor is everyone playing for the pleasure of other people. It's a game, enjoy!

EDIT PS: as a side note, I left other games for how "e-sporty" and ultra-competitive the playerbase had become. Please don't let FFXIV turn in to that. Resist it all you can, because those types of players (the toxic ones) tend to shy away from this game already because it's not so quickly rewarding as others.
