You should not be using macros to cast spells in a sequence or use weapon skill combos for you. Ever. Learn your job and press your keys yourself.

Macros are good for healers to DPS enemies without untargeting the tank. It is not always about chaining skills.
Also to save skill slots.
Example: Cast Stone 3. If that is not possible (because of level-synch), cast stone 2

Healers should not use macros for DPS either - exactly because it prevents you from chaining your DPS spells. It's in no way demanding to swap targets between healing and DPS targets as a healer.

How do you make dmg while targeting the tank with controller?

You swap to tank when you need to heal her, and to the boss when you need to damage it...

They have a macro system in game for a reason, if SE didnt think they were wanted or necessary in certain situations they would not have implemented them in the first place.

No harm, in any way, asking for more macro spaces.

I don't use many at all but if some people could use more, then there's nothing wrong with asking for more. I would also like to see the macro tab shared between characters, that too would be nice.

The vast majority of features in game are very limited already, hopefully the expansion will see some improvements

Macros are mostly used for crafting rotations. On DoW and DoM classes, you really shouldn't be using macros for 99% of the stuff you do, so I don't see how you can even be running out of space.

Considering the macro system automatically rounds it up, so that 2.5 becomes 3, you're losing DPS if you're using it in combat. Even for macros like, say, Berserk, letting your [bard] know you popped it for and hoping for a paean, you will probably run into the issue of the macro not queuing properly, still dropping DPS in some form or another.

Outside of crafting, obnoxious "MECHANICS ARE HAPPENING!", hunt linking or what have you, there's no efficient use of macros. You really don't need more than 100 as many would be crafting rotations become outdated.

this is the only thing i wish they'd fix. i dont mind not getting more slots or getting a more complex macro system, but i wish they'd remove the queueing problem for macros that just have 1 skill and 1 chat line for a total of two lines.

it's so annoying to use a provoke macro and having to spam it due to fear of the ability not registering and at the same time it's annoying in /p chat.
it's also the same with res/raise/ascend

Not to say that the system shouldn't be improved, but there is a workaround

Put a /wait 1, then your party notice line. They don't get the message until you're done spamming the button, and a 1 second delay generally isn't critical.
