I think, in all honesty, people keep saying to never macro because it's so terrible for your DPS blah blah blah and I totally agree (I don't macro anything except for my Aetherial Manipulation) but in reality if you're the type of player who has trouble keeping track of your rotation macro'ing things like others have suggested will probably help more than it hurts. Macro'ing is only bad if it's what lowers your DPS. If you do even worse without them using them wouldn't be bad.

I wouldn't macro all your abilities like that. Having one button even just for all your CD's isn't good. Even in fluff content. If you were going to macro anything on bard I would just stick to macro'ing Misery's End/Bloodletter to Heavy Shot and call it a day.
