macros: bad for DPS?

[Amberyl]

Macros ruin your DPS, it's a fact. Saying "Well they help me not die!" is silly, because you're pretty much admitting your inability to play properly.

Tell that to the guys playing perfect DPS rotations on a Razer keyboard/mouse in Coil, and topping the parser list.

They use different kind of macros which do trigger the skill queue.
You can set your keyboard and mouse macros to trigger buttons which is just like you press them manually so the skills get queued.
We're talking about ingame macros here and they do reduce your DPS because your skills don't get queued, it's a proven fact.
Thats why I think it's silly that this game doesn't queue macro'd skills because people will always find a way to do so if they want to min-max and will resort to third party tools.

Exactly. And the evangelists here preaching against the use of macros are missing this entirely. I think they'd be surprised just how many of the people that they consider capable players are using hardware macros to allow them to concentrate on dodging damage markers. No one wants to admit that's why they bought their branded mouse or keyboard in this game, however, due to the stigma the rounding change has brought to macro use since it came in.

Regardless, it happens, and the players using them top the parsers regularly.
