    Another Evidence that Macros Do NOT Cause GCD Delay

    I'm sorry for necroing last year's thread, but I'd like to share another evidence that Macros Do NOT Cause GCD Delay here. Recently I found the following video.
    https://youtu.be/sns_9GhUTqU
    Even if you use Macros for GCD actions, GCD delay is only 0.083 sec in 3 min. I'm certain that Macros don't lead to GCD delay as far as they are properly coded and executed.

    As a healer I use many mouseover macros. For example,
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /action "Adloquium" <mo>
    /macroicon "Adloquium"
    Its pseudo-queueing window is about 0.23sec in 60fps, so it won't delay my GCD. My other macros are not optimal so they may cause delay, but they saves my XHB slots.

    3-in-1 Sacred Soil macro
    /action "Sacred Soil" gtoff
    /action "Sacred Soil" <t>
    /action "Sacred Soil" <mo>
    /targetlasttarget
    /targetlasttarget
    /macroicon "Sacred Soil"
    It places Sacred Soil on
    | if mouse cursor is on the ground then the cursor (without switching into ground target mode)
    | else if I target someone then the target
    | else mouseover target

    4-in-1 Place/Heel macro
    /petaction "Place" <mo>
    /petaction "Place" <t>
    /petaction "Place" gtoff
    /targetlasttarget
    /targetlasttarget
    /wait 1
    /petaction "Heel"
    /macroicon "Place" pet
    The condition is the same as the above. If another macro is executed in 1 sec then Place else Heel. If I want to Place then I execute healing macro, target assist macro, XHB change macro, etc.
