    Devs, please fix Macro wait time!

    The current macro system rounds to the nearest second, why? Make it so that if my GCD for an ability is 2.41 seconds, the macro will recognize that and perform it under that time parameter. Better yet, allow me to make the command line: /wait <GCD> "Ability Name" so I don't have to change it every time my skill speed fluctuates. I really see no reason why wait time is rounded to the nearest second which causes DPS losses over time. Seems like sloppy programming and I would like to see this addressed.

    What Proto said...I at first also found the way macro's function to be annoying, but after thinking about it I realize why they did it this way. They don't want people relying on macro's....if it were changed to be how you asked everybody would put all of their stuff on macro's and pretty much auto do everything ever. If it were like that the game would become less hard and more of a "press one button to do all of the things" kind of game.

    This is a design decision, not a bug, so there is nothing to fix.

    You're using macros offensively. You're worried about DPS loss? You're already losing massive DPS using macros as such
