Why you should have at least one macro with a /p line.

[Muzetta]

I baaarely use macros ever. Right now the only one I have is to notify my LS and party of an elite mark if I find one.

Otherwise I just don't see why I should use one. No skill on my DRG that I see use for to make a macro. Sure, I could make one for Blood for Blood or something to let people know I'm gonna be more squishy for a bit but with Foresight up alongside it it's barely noticeable anyway. Not to mention usually not even taking any damage while it's up so long as there's no roomwide AoEs or a tonk losing aggro.

And yeah, the age-old Berserk... Why to god should I make a macro for a skill that boosts my damage a lot for a while because it renders me useless for 5 seconds. It's not like I'm gonna lose aggro in 5 seconds after going crazy with overpowers, steel cyclone and whatnot. Not to mention by the time healers notice it's almost gonna be off anyway.

Oh, and indeed some people's macros are just unnecessarily long and pointless. If you're using one; keep it short and to the point. Like yesterday in ST there was someone with an LB macro. Verrrrry long sentence (it was in French, so I don't even know most of what it said) with at the ended "COSMIC FIST! (limit break)" so yeah... I had to read all the way to the end to figure out what it was even for, gg.
