BRD macro

[RathSkybreaker]

I didn't learn anything as to the actual topic of this discussion.
Just a lot of bickering

I'd like to know quite simply that if I'm going to use macros on a BRD, which are the best ones to use? My question isn't about whether or not using macros is better or worse, it's again: "Which macros should be used on a BRD if macros are being used at all?"

Can someone answer this without starting an argument or going into mathematics I really don't want to hear?

Hey Ana, Bard here.

I use macros pretty frequently , beat turn 5 on bard weekly, etc, so , here's what I use.

Straight Shot

/micon "Straight Shot"
/ac "Straight Shot" <t>
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>

V -bite, wind bit , heavy shot, blunt arrow, repelling shot, and my aoe abilities all have the blood letter / misery's end procs on them. Rationale is to maximize the procs. People will argue semantics, but I only believe numbers, not idealism. People aren't perfect, and macros reduce error.

Buff's are a bit different, I generally only macro a few for turn 5, but for all other content I take the lazy approach and macro them all, for the sake of never missing a buff, if your group doesn't suck you can do that, mainly because you're not pressed to meet dps checks, since you'd meet them without the buffs.

I stagger my buffs though, so I put raging strikes on straight shot, I have Internal release macroed to both of my dots, and I have Hawk's , Barrage, and BfB macroed onto heavy shot. Quelling strike I do manually always, I like to be in control of where my hate sits.

My dps on a dummy ~ 3 minutes sits around 285 with no food / buffs / pots.
