Well no one asked me to make "plumes" macros for titan HM or titan EX but I use them as necessary if I see the party needs just that little boost to clear. It is not mandatory but I know it is something I can do to make the win easier.

In that light I returned the question to the OP, is it that hard to just macro "I NEED ORBS" every 2 cycles just to ensure everyone is on the same page?
