I have done test Kitfox, your right when you say that I may have a good latency or that stats where not a factor into it......but does that negate that bluntly people make statements that Macros for Monks as a whole no matter the content are worthless based on the notion that all dps drops to 15% or more when factual data I have says otherwise? Really? Did you happen to consider the human factor into your disagreement? I was in the US Army Kitfox and we have a very simple saying for what I did in the service....K.I.S.S(a acronym not the band) it stands for Keep it simple stupid in which I am not calling anyone. That acronym clearly states that the simpler a method is done the more likely the chance of no errors are to occur. So lets say you have the best Monk player in FF14, can you promise me that that Monk will have a 100% uptime in dps with no mistakes while having to throttle lets say for kindness only 18 buttons(Monk has alot more based on buffs and X-Class Abilites) do you think that a player who uses no macros wont screw up his rotation by accidentally pressing the wrong button compared to a person who does macro and only has 12 buttons for discussion sake? Really? Who do you think will more likely make errors more often for the average player? The one with more button bloat or less? If you answer more, that answer is not true based on statistics and basic % in math.

So I can understand your feedback within this subject(btw I did use your information and added it to my video so thank you for that) but it still does not negate the facts of my data on the falsehood that using any Macros on Monk is a massive dps loss...its not true! You do lose dps, even if it is 5% on your example....that does not negate the fact that again according to the numbers since humans make mistakes that the dps and the overall numbers will pretty much end up the same since the Macro using player is less likely to make such errors. I know you will still disagree as I will stand firm on my data I collected based on facts displayed on my recent video, but I hope you decide to give Macros a chance if you play Monk....maybe not for endgame content as that is not the only stuff to do in FF14, but maybe while soloing or doing older content or fates even. But other than that, thank you for your feedback and for being cordial as I wish more players were like yourself in which displaying respect is important to them! Take care.....
