Is there anything wrong with this macro or using it? I kinda don't get it.Straight up, if they have no problem with 1 button filler spam, I have no problem with the following:
/macroicon Glare
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.3>
/ac Stone <t> <wait.2>
/echo Macro #1 finished <se.1>
Allows plenty of room for slide cast movement. It's a bit inefficient but if the FFXIV dev's don't care about efficiency, why should I?
Ability macros are always incredibly inefficient because they don't have ability queuing so they always execute slower than just pressing the skill normally. Putting GCDs into macros is especially inefficient since on top of the missing ability queuing the <wait.x> command can't do decimals, it only works in full seconds so you always lose half a second between glare casts and that's assuming you have 0 spell speed.

There are some good marcos you can use for healers. A really great two that I recommend for SCH players to help consolidate hotbar space:
MACRO 1:
/micon "Summon Seraph"
/ac "Summon Seraph" <me>
/chotbar action "Consolation" 1 3
/wait 22
/chotbar action "Fey Blessing" 1 3
The "1 3" part is specifically for where my Fey Blessing/Consolation action goes on my hotbar. The 1 is which hotbar and the 3 is the position on that hotbar. For controller, how it works is it starts with 1 being < on the D pad when pressing L1 and goes clockwise. ^ is 2, > is 3, and v is 4. This rotation continues to your Square, Triangle, Circle, X, then the same for the R1 side with numbers 9-16.
Basically, this swaps Fey Blessing for Consolation when Summon Seraph is used and automatically returns it to Fey Blessing after 22 seconds. There's a small chance, depending on your inputs, that you might cancel returning it to Fey Blessing. When I do this on my hotbars, i also have a reset button action, which in this case looks like this:
MACRO 2:
/micon "Summon Eos"
/ac "Summon Eos" <me>
/chotbar action "Fey Blessing" 1 3
Even if you're mid-cast with something else, you can just tap Summon Eos to reset that hotbar space to Fey Blessing. It's important to use it on an infrequently used button of a similar function to avoid any weird clipping or unnecessary use of something you don't intend to use.
