If you look at the macro's that i wrote the cool-down with the most impact is first, followed by something that augments it, or something that I use in conjunction with a different skill. I have noticed less lag if i put them accross separate buttons then on the same button.

I won't lie though, it's highly disappointing the macros are hampered in such a way in a game with such a skill bloat issue.

Also, I'm not doing cutting edge content. I play maybe 3-4 days a week and generally get into a raid on the latter half of it's life. I probably won't be starting savage Alexander for another couple weeks because of kids, wife, job, school ( thats right kids... it never ends), gym, etc.

But, like I said above until SE finds a way to make xhotbars more visible and able to be used for vast amounts of skills. It's still the best option available for controller users.
