PLD MACROS - PS4

[aleph_null]

The Oath MACRO switches between the two instantly, not really sure why it works, it just does.

Doesn't that actually show that the macros may skip lines for some reasons, making it not very reliable for crucial skills? I've had bad experience with macroing defensive cds before so I never went back.

Alot of you are very closed minded to macros , Ive been using similiar macros since this game launched as PLD and clearing end game content with them. I dont macro things to combos however but to the OP believe me when I say your on the right track and take these negative comments with a grain of salt!

People can clear contents as pld while sitting in shield oath 24/7 and rotating 1-2-3 halone combo from the start until the fight ends. That doesn't mean it's a good way to play the class. I'm saying that when you play at a high level the delays and reliability issues related to macros make them undesirable. Unless you can prove me wrong, by showing parse/video of someone performing really well in end game raids with macros (in which case I'll stand corrected) I'm quite convinced it's impossible to play optimally with those macros.

Once I hit 60 I'm going to test my DPS via Stone Sky Sea. Test what numbers I'm putting out MACRO vs non-MACRO. I'll probably make the switch, I just the time delay from MACROS can't be that bad in comparison to manually switching/cycling crosshotbars. If I lose .2 seconds on a MACRO I could easily loose similar time switching between bars, unless I am playing flawlessly.
