    Would that include the utility abilities cause all the people saying not to use macros aren't making the distinction. Utility macros enable Bards to let the party know when they've used an ability that's useful to the party or streamline processes. Not all macros are about lazy-mode'ing attacks.

    Yeah precisely this. If you want to stick your whole rotation into a macro then that's definitely a no, but others can make things easier on both you and party members.

    I've been trying to come up with one to make windbite/venom/iron jaws combo easier on me but there isn't a good substitute for doing it by hand unfortunately.

    <wait.16>
    /e DOTS <se.7>

    How it works : venom bite lasts 18 seconds. Subtract the 2 seconds it takes between actions (16 seconds left) you'll hear a ping just as venom bite wears off to remind you to use venom then windbite again.

    Its a lot easier than trying to remember to look at the debuff list.
    Orrr I could just do that! Never thought of it, thanks.
