Broken Macros? /wait not working?

[Tizerak]

Sigh.. I loved doubling up certain tank macros that were on the same CD timer like:

/micon Foresight
/ac "Foresight" <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Featherfoot" <me>

but, besides finally feeling the "2.2 lag" in DF today, now these wait macros don't work, I click it, do nothing and only the first ability goes off. Have to press it again and wait a second for the 2nd one to activate?

Take out the wait and just mash the button, or make it a longer wait. 1 is probably too short to be reliable.

[Tizerak]

ugh I just wish there was /castsequence like in WoW, I don't want to mash the button over and over, it WAS working before now it's not.

You probably have /wait set too low.
Try setting up the macro as such:

/micon "Foresight"
/ac "Foresight"
/ac "Featherfoot"

Tap the button twice to get both to activate

Or try

/micon "Foresight"
/ac "Foresight" <wait.2>
/ac "Featherfoot"

Since they added the new <wait> syntax I stopped using /wait all together. Gives more space and looks cleaner. On top of that with the way the battle system is paced, using any wait is discouraged as it wastes minor amounts of time. During that macro you have a chance to lose hate to a rambunctious DPS whereas you have more control of other skills with the first macro I presented

[Tizerak]

hmm I wonder if the new <wait> is better then /wait does it work the same way? <wait 1> = /wait 1 ?

[SeraviEdalborez]

It works the same way, just lets you use more lines in a single macro.

I've had a lot of people say they don't get off .5 ever which I never get, my Pali in macro can hit
Ac fast blade
Wait 1
Ac circle of scorn
Wait 1.5
Ac savage blade
Wait 1
Ac spirits within
Wait 1.5
Ac roh

Doesn't help in newer content but it still goes off

[Killabye]

You're getting killer lag, I:
ac bloodbath
Wait .5
Ac berserk
Wait.5
Ac vengeance

And it goes fine. It's actually longer than that as far as how many abilities but .5 works for me except for when you hit super high lag in the new em dungeons

There is no point using decimals in wait commands as those are being ingnored / rounded up so your wait .5 is actually wait 1 and your wait 1.5 is actually wait 2

And this is the one inconsistency between /wait and <wait> (AFAIK). /wait rounds decimals (.5 and up go to the next whole second), while <wait> always truncates/rounds down. At least when I tested it right after they introduced <wait>.
