Ninja and using macros.

[HeavensSword]

Using macros for DPS is bad since there is added delay and the game will not queue actions the same way it does when you press skills manually. You've taken it a step further by actually macro'ing your entire rotation... That being said you don't seem to account for Off-global cooldown skills between actions either.

I HIGHLY advise you to ditch the macros and learn to get used to playing the class manually. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but i'm telling you it will be for the best.

Thanks for your advise I have played Ninja allot manually pressing the hot-bars as I set them for rotation and what a NIN can use. THE only reason I made a actual macro rotation for NIN is that I can make it for a delay of 2 secs that fits to how the actions is ready so when I play the macro my NIN actually do the entire rotation with the delay of 2 secs by all for the full DPS in that rotation.

Ruddi - the Macro built in delay will always round up to the nearest whole number. I highly doubt your GCD is 2 seconds exactly, probably more like 2.38 with Huton up and depending on your skill speed. So it will delay to 3 seconds on your Macro, even without you programming that exact wait time.

You are losing a significant amount of time with each rotation by Macro'ing it, and in turn a significant loss in dps. Reddit and other sites have covered this extensively, please read them, or run the numbers using Macro and non-macro - there will be a difference.

My action skill delay is at 1,99 with huton up so it round up to 2 secs, I can make a video if you don't believe me but the skill speed is really fast and I have timed it also with the result 2 secs delay.

Even if it were, you aren't weaving your mudras and other off-global cooldown abilities like jugulate, mug, and trick attack using that macro.

True but I can use them in between actions because they are instant, with the right timing it is easy.

I don't say macros is the way to go but I play with macros to see if it fits in.

You can play with macro, we won't keep you from doing it, but if you find yourself in trouble for not pulling enough dps and people complaining about it, you will know that it's because of the macro, it does make that big of a difference.

Hi. with huton up my skill speed is 1,99 it is easy to test just put mouse over a skill and it will say what skill speed is for that action.

I have done some more testing and the macro is not 100% perfect because of the cool downs on other skills not in macro. I said I was playing with macros and at a time it seamed like the macro rotation was faster but because of other skills cooldown that is not in macro it is faster to be able to click on them on hotbar.

Thank you for reply guys. Peace out.
