How important are macros?

First, macros don't work the way it seems you think they do.

You'll have to elaborate. I've been messing around with macros in PotD literally for days on vacation off work. I started with some misconceptions that some experienced players helped me with, but I've got a good handle on it now and everything performs as I expect as far as skill order goes.

Complex targeting lists are still giving me trouble though. Like trying to avoid healing myself by telling it to heal my TT, then try to heal my T, then try to heal my FT will sometimes result in me... healing myself repeatedly even though I have a FT set who has a target that is not me... T_T... So I'm trying to stay humble.

Second, that's a severely underperforming rotation for DRGs even if you'd do it without the macro.

That macro is not a rotation. It's just the button for Chaos Thrust.
