Why you wear tank accessories as a scholar, bro? I think you're doing something wrong here.

Unless it's in PvP.

I'm assuming nobody has explained skill queueing to you. With the way the GCD works, you can hit a skill up to around half a second before it's due and it will go off as soon as it can. It's a good way to make sure your ping to the server has no detrimental effect on your dps and most MMOs with a GCD use this. Of course if your ping is horrendous it might start to matter.

Anyway, this system does not apply to macros. Therefore every GCD skill you use when it's macroed will have your reaction time plus the ping to the server added to it. It's a pretty substantial loss in dps and something you should avoid as much as possible or altogether if possible. Things like mass macroing your buffs or having more than one off GCD ability tied to one macro are fine for the most part, but macros shouldn't include any GCD abilities.

Hope that helps with cutting down on your "problem".

Assassinate/Mercy stroke has to macro'd to every attack AND most cooldowns also macro into attack buttons, otherwise theres just too many buttons. 12 is the most ill ever button.

And since its a melee class I will want to macro Target Enemy to most of the attacks.

No and its not only my problem. IM sure there are others out there without enough macro space to play ninja.

You should not do this. Just place mercy stroke on its own when it lights up you hit it. Macroing all those abilities is a bad idea.

So much bad

Your problem in the first place is macroing GCD skills.

Scientific proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czzLF4IfFaM#t=251
You can just WATCH the macro'd version falling behind. Nevermind their silly third party junk.

Also if the mudras Jin, Chi, and Ten have a cooldown time of (let's say) 1.1-1.5 seconds you won't be able to trigger a ninjutsu via macro which only allows wait times in full integers. Ninjutsu in the prelim patch notes is worded in such a way that your mudra combo will fail if you don't trigger within 5 seconds of your first mudra. The notes also say all three mudra share a recast timer.

I had more to say but the forum wanted me to remove 156 characters so I just cut all of it.

I still need my macros SE
