Gunbreaker Macro Broken And I Don't Know Why

/merror off
/ac "Gnashing Fang" <t>
/ac "Continuation" <t>
/ac "Savage Claw" <t>
/ac "Continuation" <t>
/ac "Wicked Talon" <t>
/ac "Continuation" <t>
/micon "Gnashing Fang"

Fixed it for you. Also note that because it is a gcd you don't want to wait in-between. This macro is just a one button mash. You could also reverse the order and it would still work. This is also low key why I don't like GNB because they made a combo like this. Its like they took PLD's rage of Halone and decided that each hit was a gcd/ocd each and good luck weaving in a defensive during that combo.

Thank you very much. I'm not sure why they gave GNB two different chain combos, but it is what it is. I like the look of the class (again, I'm not a hardcore player/raider) and I play it for fun and on the off chance my friends need me to tank for them and I might not feel in a sword and board type of mood that day. I'm also a role player, so I've got role player reasons for some of my characters to be this class.

The macro by Marxam does work, but I do recommend pushing the button repeatedly. The way macros work, it'll read through the macro and execute it line by line, but because there are zero <wait> commands, it just blitzes through all the commands at once causing the macro to fail after Gnashing Fang if you only press it once. That said, you can actually make it shorter, and the adjusted macro I'd use would simply be:

/ac "Gnashing Fang"
/ac "Continuation"
/micon "Gnashing Fang"

No need for Savage Claw and Wicked Talon since those share the same button as Gnashing Fang now, no need for <t> because you're already targeting the boss to attack anyways which means you already selected your target, and you can turn off error messages if you really want. To turn those off:

Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Uncheck "Display error messages when actions fail."
Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Uncheck "Display recast timer error messages."
Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Open Log Filters > Announcements > Uncheck "Error Messages"

I don't think you need to turn off all three, but I did because the error messages annoy the hell outta me. Anyways, yeah, simple three line macro up above works, tested it myself, I just recommend mashing the macro to make sure that Continuation goes off. Or use the one Mikey_R posted which will take a bit longer to execute because of the <wait> commands but involves zero mashing. Whatever works best for you.

Beddict's macro is the correct way to do this combo with a singlebutton mash.

Beddict's macro is the correct way to do this combo with a singlebutton mash.

That macro would be correct if, and only if, Zhalar can physically mash a button due to their disability. I would guess, given that Zhalar choose to include wait times to begin with, that they cannot mash a button easily.

Also, for anyone else, you can only wait in increments of 1 second (based on the last time I experimented personally). You can type in '2.5' in the wait argument but it will round the time it waits for.

With all that said I think the best macro for Zhalar would be:

/merror off
/micon "Gnashing Fang"
/ac "Gnashing Fang" <wait.1>
/ac "Continuation" <wait.2>

But, honestly, that would be up to Zhalar to figure out. All they asked for was clarification on the naming scheme for GNB abilities. Everyone else zoned on the wait parts and the bad DPS which Zhalar really did not deserve. (Not directed at you specifically.)

As a side note:

Zhalar, you might find this happens with other jobs too because of Endwalker. A bunch of jobs now have condensed buttons that all now use the base action (the first one you learn) and just replace it. So, if this happens again I would recommend figuring out what the first action is in the chain for the combo or later learned action is. RDM, SMN and PLD all come to mind immediately as examples.
