Summon macros with pet-specific automatic crossbar update

[Buff_Archer]

I don't think having Trance and Deathflare on the same macro is a good idea at all. Even the first one without the wait has a chance of ending your Trance early if you spam it. The last one, with the wait between Trance and Deathflare definitely will.

I think the OP is actually talking about putting Trance and Deathflare on separate macros that switch between two hotbar setups. The one to activate Trance places Ruin 3 on their hotbar (making it an "in Trance" hotbar switch) and another for Deathflare that removes Ruin 3 (an "out of Trance" switch.) If I'm understanding it right, this will mean that if something goes wrong and, for some reason, Trance doesn't activate but their hotbars switch to "in Trance", simply hitting the Deathflare macro will revert it (and not use Deathflare because, in this scenario, Trance was never used.) And of course in the scenario where everything goes as planned, their hotbars are rearranged on the fly with whatever skills they need at the moment.

If this is what they mean then I can't see much dangerous about it. The only thing I can think of is if activating Trance while already in Trance deactivates it; then you might run into problems if you hit the macro to go into Trance but your hotbars don't switch. But I don't know if that's what happens, and I assume since it has a 15s cooldown it will just error out and do nothing.

You got it, that's exactly what I mean. I'm simply using these macros to transform my crossbar upon the activation of a certain skill; macros such as these aren't intended to be used for automatically activating Ability B after using Ability A... rather it's for when using Ability A means immediately after you'd want to have Ability B and C in a much more accessible place on your crossbar.
