Help with macro

[micke]

Not sure what im doing wrong but when i write this macro it Always "jump"over the second skill and use the third skill. The macro i use is:

/ac "Impulse Drive" <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Disembowel" <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Chaos Thrust" <t>

What it does is it start with impulse drive and then Chaos Thrust.
Never use Disembowel.

Same goes for this:

/ac "True Thrust" <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Vorpal Thrust" <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Full Thrust" <t>

It never does Vorpal thrust

Please help^^

Could be lag. Try upping the /wait to 3 and see if that works.

I remember there is only full second for /wait. So, it's either /wait 2 or /wait 3.
This is really not my biz, but don't chain 3 gcd skills in one macro, you can put 1 to several non-gcd [such as blood for blood] with 1 gcd skill.

I was thinking that when I read his macro lines, as someone who did extensive macros in ffxi. Wasn't sure if fractions of a second were a unique addition. Thanks for the info.

As others have said, the game rounds the wait time up, so 2.5 is 3 seconds. Which would normally be fine so long as you don't do anything else to disturb the macro. Or if you have something like slow making your GCD more than 3 seconds, or even lag. However, you should not be using macros like this, they hurt your dps.

I found out where the problem was. I was using a , not a .
If i use a . like 2.5 the macro worked fine.
Anyway thanks for your suggestion and advice^^

A question, not sure if it's already been mentioned, but why are you using macros for your abilities that deal damage? At the higher levels, with full gear, the skill speed on GCD brings the GCD to 2.4 seconds, and since 2.5 isn't, from what I remember, an actual number you can put in, you're putting yourself at a DPS loss. Which, if you're not worried about, great! But if you want to maximize your damage, I wouldn't even bother with the whole shenanigan.

But, with your problem there, it HAS been mentioned, 2.5 isn't your GCD by the sounds of it, and since that is the case, you need to up it to 3.0 seconds, which, is an even greater DPS loss if your GCD is around 2.7-2.8.

So, that's your decision, but I would highly recommend not using them.

You speak wise my friend. Probobly not gonna use it, was mostly curious about if it was possible to make it and see how it worked.
