    This is mostly (The only serious use of them would likely be on my BLM main, which has only 2 buff for offensive) meant for fun like my Blizzard III>Thunder III>Fire III macro. And to help save space on macros and hotbars. If I wanted specific buffs outside of BLM I'll would just click the skill instead of the macro.

    That said. It does appear to be too much. I'll split the defensive macro.

    That link is exactly the reason I wnated to macro the GCD skills. To save space on macros for other classes (and eventually crafting rotations). though so far I only have macros for NIN (Mudra combinations fro practicing purposes), BLM (just a Flare macro and the aforementioned magic macro), WHM (mouse over macros and Holy) and ARC (Quicksummons and a DoT macro).

    Wait I;m confused. What did you mean by GCD? Beucase the skills I macroed in OP are not in the Global Cooldown

    i dont even know how you thought what he was doing is a good idea. its not. mudras have a gcd of .5 seconds. macros have a built in delay of 1 second. everytime you would use that macro you lose 1.5 seconds. as for the skills, i was talking about your BlizzIII macro you mentioned.

    Oh that was more for fun than anything. And because I though Tridisaster was a fitting icon fro a BLM elemental macro

    The Mudra macros are for practices sake, to help me memorize the combinations if I forget them.

    In either case they are not likely to be used in say...EX Primals or Coil. I barely even use them in faceroll dungeons.

    Also unlike the guy in the link most of my macros are either messaging, gearsets, mouseovers or just a spell with Swiftcast attached. I also am not THAT obessed as to make 97 macros just for single actions
