    except that in your case wannabesuperman, that macro will prioritize Straight Shot. Which means that if Straight Shot is not on cooldown it will automatically cast that ability regardless of whether Misery's End or Bloodletter are available. (at least for the first part of the Macro). Thus it is far more efficient to put Misery's End first, followed by Bloodletter, followed by either Heavy Shot or Straight Shot, that way you always cast Misery's End if the Enemy is at 20% or less health (Which for most enemies will be a killing shot), and always hit Bloodletter before you start hitting your Global Cooldown attacks. This is way more efficient than trying to hit those abilities between Global Cooldowns, especially as Macro Icons do not demonstrate what abilities are on or off Cooldown.

    You are mostly right. The only thing you're leaving out is that all my attacks are on this style of macro, so Misery's End and Bloodletter have already been used by my Heavy Shot macro.

    I know this might sound odd, but Straight Shot should be prioritized before Misery's End or Bloodletter if the GCD is available, which is what this style of macro does.

    That actually sounds pretty awesome now that you describe it.
