    Stop speaking out of your rear. I have a 60 MNK and the stance doesn't mean much: it is still a rotation like DRG when you boil it down (except your opener/stance shifting to get GL right away). It is different in moves, but melee DPS have the same 3 priorities: oGCD buffs, DOTs and GCD buffs. MNK isn't somehow special: it weaves oGCD buffs like my DRG, has positionals, tries to maximize DOT/GCD buff uptime... besides a few differences, the concepts are the same. MNK, DRG, NIN... you don't macro period for the same reason. Swap your bootshine for Heavy Thrust etc. etc.

    Honestly, the hardest part of playing MNK is positionals. With practice a rotation becomes pretty mechanic. Again, any sort of avoidable loss is NOT COMPETITIVE, it is a handicap. This has nothing to do with skill, it is about actively encouraging bad habits. If macros were competitive Thendiel and the like would post those instead of rotations (Thendiel is a DRG god by the way). People actively look for ways to make a fight easier, I'm pretty bloody sure a savage raider who helped create the DRG rotation would use macros to reduce what he needed to juggle. This is beyond "I play how I want"; you're completely ignoring the community who, if you were actually right, would have been doing this by now.

    Macros are mostly for stance swapping moves (ie. you activate a stance and your hotbar changes) or crafting.
