    Actually there is not a /wait in between macro lines. What's taking so long is that engine has to redraw your character in-between each piece of gear that is swapped and during that redraw you can not equip another piece of gear. That is why if you make a macro with all your gear swaps but without waits, you will get many pieces that will not equip. To actually make a gear macro fully function you have to include /wait in-between each line.

    To test if there is a /wait in-between each line try making a macro that is:
    /echo line1
    /echo line2

    They will both go off instantly...

    This seems to be true for any type of chat, but as far as ability use and gear swapping goes, there is a wait between them.

    You can change your gear faster by spamming your macro instead of hitting it just once. And when changing to a class that cant be your current gear, it all gets removed at once. It has nothing to do with the game needing to draw each piece before equipping the next (keep i mind the game has to draw "no gear" as well).

    Whatever is causing it, I hope they fix/remove it.
