I haven't finished, but it's been a good read so far, thanks for the knowledge!

What are your thoughts on macros? It seems like they'd really save our fingers.

If you mean Macroing your rotation, than its sub-obtimal. In the long run, you end up being slower because of the way the game queue GCD when you manually input them. They dont when macroing, and with latency, you lose some millisecond that hurts with accumulation. You are just better doing everything by yourself and not rely on them. Also, more often than not, a fight doesnt go exactly 100% as planned, so you'll have to cut your rotation for adds and stuff, so relying on them will reapply stuff that doesnt need to, and result in a dps loss.

I kind of figured that was the case, which is unfortunate -- The macros save a lot of space on my keyboard, and my fingers a lot of work.

How do you organize your hotbars to make them easily accessible with the number row, given the sheer amount of abilities we have?
