    Oh i don't mind at all, please post more macros
    Only macros i have ever used was for weaving stuff
    But with the hotbars on PS3 i figure it may be worthwhile to add a full rotation onto 1 macro to have room for other stuff

    If you mean macroing your typical 3-hit combo onto one button with waits in between each skill, I'd recommend against that.

    First, the /wait command doesn't support decimals; it rounds to the nearest full second. If you macro a typical combo, you're losing at least one second per combo (usually more at 50, since the GCD is under 2.5 by then) by having them macroed with waits. Second, if you happen into a situation where you can't perform one of the skills, you're locked in and there's no good way to recover. For example, dodging AOE right before skill #2 is supposed to go off, meaning you miss skill 2 and either miss skill 3 entirely or don't get its combo bonus (probably not as much of an issue for BRD as other classes, but still). Third, if you're using macros for anything else, you'll interrupt your combo macro if you use one of those. You can only have one macro running at a time, so starting a combo macro, then hitting some other macro, will stop your combo macro completely.

    It sort of works most of the time. To me, the drawbacks when it doesn't work and the built-in delay when it does make it not worth doing.

    If you mean something else, mostly disregard.

    I found in Reddit some useful macros and altered a few of them for my own.

    I somewhat like to put a little role-playing like this one:

    Code:
    /micon "Protect"
    /ac "Protect" <me>
    /wait 1
    /emote raised an arm, whispering a short clipped phrase and light danced from her fingertips.
    /wait 2
    /ac "Stoneskin" <1>
    /wait 4
    /ac "Stoneskin" <2>
    /wait 4
    /ac "Stoneskin" <3>
    /wait 4
    /ac "Stoneskin" <4>
    /wait 1
    /smile
