Idea to simplify combo action skills

[DiabolicMike]

Something I have done that is along these lines (took many itterations to get it how it 'felt right')

My ninja for ex (im a monk main, and perfect balance openers basically made this impossible):

My hotbar 1 slot 1 is a macro:
- /micon spinning edge
- /ac spinning edge
- /wait (standard 1 second)
- /hotbar change 4
- (note that wait is in here so I can mash the one button and it wont change hotbars until I stop mashing, but that the wait isnt longer than gcd)(hotbar 1 slot is empty)
Hotbar 4 slot 1 macro
- /micon gust slash
- /ac gust slash
- /wait
- /hotbar change 5
Hotbar 4 slot 2 macro
-/micon shadow fang
- /ac shadow fang
- /wait
- /hotbar change 1
Hotbar 5 slot 1 macro
- /micon Aeolian Edge
- /ac aeolian edge
- /wait
- /hotbar change 1
(repeat this for slot 2 with dancing edge)

This lets me start all of my combo's with one, and then everything follows is 1 or 2. As macro's cause delay in oGCD's you shouldnt have those on a macro as well, but be careful if for some reason you do. You can cancel the hotbar change if you hit one. Reading thru the thread I saw someone that mentioned having a 'reset' button in case a battle break or something happens and you get stuck on the wrong hotbar. Not something I had done but I think its genius. I would just quickly use up/down arrows to change.

I did this from memory as I am currently not online, however I dont think I forgot any skills that go into the combo. Hope it helps or maybe builds toward a cleaner setup.
