    /echo macro help?

    My macro is as follows.

    /micon "Lucid Dreaming"
    /ac "Lucid Dreaming" <me>
    /wait 60
    /echo Lucid Dreaming has 60 seconds left! <se.3>
    /wait 60
    /echo Lucid Dreaming is ready to use! <se.5>

    It works 100% of the time in the open world. But in roulettes and raids, the echo fails to go off more than half of the time. Did I do something wrong? Anyone else have problems with /echo?

    Edit: I don't have any other abilities macro'd that would cancel out the echo, either. Lucid Dreaming is the only thing I have made a macro for that has /echo.

    Using any macro would cancel it, not just specifically a /echo.

    Artifact of how macros work. You can only have 1 macro running at any given time.

    Popup notifications? Some players might need it. For example crafters that use macroed rotations with more than one macro might need the /echo with an <se.1> to notify them the first part of their rotation is done and need to use the next one.

    I use a cross hot bar since Im on PlayStation and I understand wanting a reminder for certain skills that may not be visible on your screen all the time. I worked around this by simply using a secondary hot bar that only displays role skills and CDs on a long timer. So no matter what cross hot bar Im on I can tell when my important skills are available. Its much better to have it visible than rely on a tempermental echo.
