Macro Delay

[Orbital-Dragon]

Let me explain how I do this with my macros. I currently have 5 macros set up on my Dragoon. Keep in mind I am level 45 and have not unlocked my final 3 skills yet.

1. Blood For Blood --> Internal Release (I typically cast this at the start of my rotations when it is up for the obvious damage increase)
2. Heavy Thrust --> Impulse Drive --> Disembowel (My opening combo to buff myself and add piercing debuff to enemies, will be adding chaos thrust to this at 50)
3. Phlebotomize --> True Thrust --> Vorpal Thrust (Beginning of my damage combo)
4. Power Surge --> Jump (I throw this down in between my damage combos for added dps)
5. Life Surge --> Full Thrust (Since FT is currently my strongest ability and its all set up from the previous combos why not guarantee a critical off it)

The rest of my cross bar is filled out by Keen Fury, Leg Sweep, Invigorate, Second Wind, and Potions.

This rotation works great for me. I push a button more than every 30 seconds I assure you. this method just allows me to keep everything on one cross bar instead of trying to flip through them. As far as lag and what not I dont know what kind of dial up you guys are running on but I have never had so much as a hiccup of lag while playing. My combos are never interrupted by "lag spikes" and AoE abilities are easy enough to avoid. So I also never see the issue with losing dps to failing combos, even if that did happen every now and then my macros are small so having to recast one or two abilities is not going to be game breaking.

My whole point was if they allowed Decimals in macros my skills would flow together even better, without any kind of delay at all. As for the damage combos its not even a big deal, I can actually tolerate it just fine. The issue I am running into is buffs such as Power Surge into Jump like I stated. Using the macros how they are now requires an unnecessary wait which makes it difficult to weave in between Thrust Combos. However, I have remedied this by removing the wait timer all together and simply double tapping the button.

As for the question of did it ever work this way...yes actually it did in the beginning. SE made a post about how they were removing it because Bots were abusing the macro system to spam people, and thus they would be removing the ability. It was a shotty excuse because truth be told the bots could care less if they have to wait 2.25 secs to spam or 3.. but I do.. and I know several other ps4 friends and company mates that do also.

You can have almost all your DRG skills on one crossbar at lvl50, you get about 16+3 major skills. You can choose which 16 you want on a bar. Losing 3 skills is going to be less of a DPS loss than using macros, since the waits round up to 3.
If its pressing buttons that bothers you rather than flipping skill bars well ... I don't know. They designed it so that you have to keep pressing buttons if you want to do good damage even though it can be mindless sometimes.

I think this is exactly what SE doesn't want you to do
