Ok I know people gave up on this post last month but here's my view.

So I'm a Lvl57 MNK, I have used macros in the past and I'm afraid I agree with everyone here who are saying "They don't work".
They're saying this because for DPS purposes they don't, infact even I found they decreased my DPS quite substantially. Having fought with macros and without and I have found kicking off your rotation without them in a macro my damage a lot higher than them being used in macros, when I used macros my DPS was so low, barely causing damage they really are not advised unless they're the ones stating who your healing or a pull count down.
My rotation with the help of an amazing mentor deals so much dmg.
I don't have video proof, but why should we show video proof of our own personal experiences? I get your trying to help people, but others are trying to help you, from personal experiences of playing this game and going through what your doing right now.
Easier isn't always the best way.
