    i honestly don't understand how that macro is even working for you. without any wait timers, the only skill that would be executed is the first one. the others would be attempt to be activated while the GCD is still active. makes no sense to me. you need wait timers. unless you are just spamming the macro.

    besides... macros are rather useless since they removed the ability to use decimal points in the wait timer. though they weren't very useful before either. you can't add any checks or triggers. and can only use 1 wait timer at a time. like you can't have 2 wait timers counting down at the same exact time. the later activated wait timer will reset the earlier and restart the countdown.

    It's simple, really - except for Bootshine, each ability in that list can only be used while in a specific PGL stance. True Strike can only be used while in Raptor Form. If you're not in Raptor Form it skips it and tries to use Snap Punch instead. Snap Punch can only be used while in Coeurl Form. If you're not in Coeurl Form it skips that as well, and then does Bootshine.

    Macros like this are essential if you want to put all of your abilities and attacks onto a single crosshotbar. As Faith noted, though, this kind of macro DOES sometimes fail, albiet rarely, and will use Bootshine even if it technically should have used Snap Punch or True Strike instead. Rarely or not, a PGL/MNK truly interested in maintaining perfection at all times will be reluctant to use a macro like this because of the occasional failure.
