Monk Macros using the Proper Rotation!

[alsims2007]

Watched your vid and I just want to say your video automatically proves the issue with gcd macros. Despite what you said and thought you already lost a gcd. Perfect balance dropped before you got your 5th gcd under perfect balance. Same thing happened at the end of the video. There should be some videos you can watch to show the effects of any macros on gcds over a period of time.

Also to correct something minor. I believe you called them cast macros or something. While variable speed from gl would screw them up the larger reason they are bad is because they can only be created for whole numbers. A macro with a 2.5 wait time will not activate until 3 seconds. My gcd is about 2.10 seconds under gl3. If I tried to create a macro for a 2.10 gcd it wouldn't activate until 3 seconds.

My tip to you is instead to drop all gcd macros. And instead work out you hotbar/keybinds so that your gcds are on the same buttons but with a modifier (1,2,3 and shift 1, 2, 3). If you want or need to, keep the buffs on macros to cut down on abilities (something I still dont recommend but I can accept this compromise) but those need to have the defensive buffs removed. Put them on a seperate macro. You wouldn't use defensive skills if you won't take damage. Your just wasting 1 second for each one you hit.
