Black Mage Sanctuary - A Guide to DPS

Considering how even .1s can make or break an Enochian rotation, I would not use any GCD macros on BLM, more so than just the fact that you will lose DPS from doing it.

I believe you misinterpreted my original macro. The macro does not cast B4 then B3 in a sequence. It cast either B4 or B3 depending on what conditions are up...one action only. This way I do not need two separate buttons on my hot bar for both actions. I fail to see how this results in a lost any time whatsoever. Do you care to explain?

The only thing I can think of is that you might miscast a B4 when you don't have enough time to cast it this way. EG-Enochian is still up but enough up for a cast of B4.

The ONLY issue I have had with this method is if you somehow cast a B1 and want to follow up with a B3 to refill your mana faster. I have seen no rotations that fall in to this so far. And there is no reason to cast a B3 after a B4 under normal circumstances.

Try it out on a casting dummy. I think you will be pleased in how it works out for you. Or it could be something that only a space-constrained PS4 player is interested in. For me, when I switch cross-bars...that is a dps loss with the .1 seconds adding up you discussed earlier.

I understood what your macro does. Macros cannot be queued, and you will, for certain, lose a small amount of time with each button press of a macro. This can literally be tenths of a second each time.

This is exactly like the trend going around where some DRGs macro Fang and Claw with Wheeling Thrust. My sentiment is the same here as I was to those DRGs, it is a DPS loss because no command queuing.
