DRK Macros

[Giantbane]

Power Combo Reprisal(I put Reprisal on every part of the combo, so I'll list just one and you can assume it's the same for the rest of it, just switch with the other skills)

/ac "Reprisal" <t>
/ac "Hard Slash" <t>

I find it very useful since I would like to use Reprisal once it`s available, also freeing 1 slot on my hotbar.

Gotta love these people saying "Hurr durr, macro's make you bad bro!"

No... no they dont...

For instance, I have Reprisal attached to every combo skill on my bar (Hard Slash, Spinning Slash, Power Slash, Syphon Strike, Souleater) This allows me to use reprisal immediately every time its up without wasting a slot on my bar for it. Since its off GCD and doesn't break combo's there is literally no reason for every DRK to not do this.

Actually, yes, this is a bad thing to do if you care about your damage at all.

With normal skills, you can press the button when there's only about 20% of the GCD left, it will queue up the action send it to the server, and then as soon as the GCD is up on the server it will immediately execute the action.

However, macros do not let you do this. So what happens with your macros is you need to wait until the GCD is completely up. Then you press the button, and then when the server gets the message it will actually execute the ability. This slows how fast you execute skills in unison.

As a simple test, you can go hit a practice dummy and note how long your TP lasts. Now try just using the skills directly (no macro). You should notice that your TP drops quite a bit faster.

So sure, you can keep it that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're losing 15%+ of your potential DPS (and threat).
