    Well, I know that you probably don't care but I just have to give fellow bard some advices, don't take it as an insult, just trying to help.

    There is not any macro that is kinda useful for BRD. It always lowers your performance, it is better not to blow away all buffs at once, which buff macro usually does.
    It is better to start with quelling strikes + hawks eye + raging strikes > bloodletter + straightshot > blood for blood + internal release + windbite > potion + venomous bite > Barrage + Empyreal + Sidewinder and so on and so on (praise the BRD lordKrietor, master of arrows) and then use buffs when they are ready (using blood for blood,raging strikes and barrage at the same time with empyreal).
    If you are using any other macros on BRD I would suggest letting them go, it is kinda hard at the beginning but when you get used to it you will be epic.

    Also.. barrage and hawks eye were enormously useful even pre-Heavensward. Especially barrage meant huge DPS buff as our auto-attack was already about 20% of our damage.

    Exactly, they were never useless.

    To the topic: Even that I use Wanderers Paen for our WAR in savage at the start of fight, I believe the skill is useless except that and it would be 10 times better if it was instacast. It is just too weak to cost us 3 seconds.
