    What's the point of the venomous/wind bite one? O_o It's mostly going to default to using VB first since there's no cooldown beyond gcd. Does it work without capitalizing the first letter of each word?

    Anyway, OP: I'd recommend steering away from the habit of using macros for most things. The only ones I have on bard are for buffs (Raging Strikes, Hawk Eye, Blood for Blood, Internal Release--all on one macro) because of my bad wrist, but even then they fire off in the wrong order sometimes, and then it ruins my opener. If your ping isn't really low, you also really don't want macros on attacks because they don't take advantage of the game's skill queue system.

    I guess if you're not doing savage, it doesn't really matter...In which case, you can still use the misery's end > bloodletter > heavy shot one (or bloodletter after heavy shot...? bloodletter is better to use before heavy shot now with WM, right? My bard is an alt character, so I don't play it beyond roulettes/alex ;; ), but I can't think of anything else that's really helpful for bard.

    It works...on occasion. Even I still have trouble with this one.
    I mostly only made it for the influx of new HW abilities and trying to make everything fit on two crossbars.
    There are times in where it'll work, with windbit hitting first and then venom, but that's still just a 1/3 chance.
    I still keep windbite on the crossbar, just incase it fails.
    Works nicely when it does work tho- one less button press.

    As for the capitalizing- I do beieve it doesnt matter if it's been capped or not. So long as it's spelled right.
    I generally dont have any issues with my macros(aside from the venomwind one.)

    It just depends on who is wielding what.
