Lost what? First off, I never said macros have no place in battle. In fact, I specifically remember stating, "That is not to say that they don't have a place in battle." and then even provided one of my own macros that actually optimizes the ability. That's the difference between the macro I provided and a SC+rezz macro. You cannot optimize a skill if you combine with another skill in a macro. This is as absolute as gravity.

Like I said, if you wanna think you are a better healer just because you don't use macros that's fine. But no matter how you look at it, you are making your life harder for no reason other than trying to make yourself feel better about your own abilities.
Actually none of this true. I already stated why I don't use macros as a healer. I said I don't use them because I have not found any that are useful. This alone should tell you that I have at least given them a try. But to go even further than that, the truth is I don't use them because I haven't found any that optimizes my abilities. And at the end of the day, I care about playing optimally regardless of the content I am in.

I'm not making life harder for myself, I'm making the run easier for everyone else. And I'd bet a months salary that I'm the healer that pisses off the other healer because I SC+rezzed before they did. So not only did they waste their SC, they wasted lord knows how many gcds during that mess by not casting anything.

I have also been playing since v1, I used swiftcast raises when needed in everything from leveling dungeons, to extremes, to coil, to omega and haven't been burned by it yet. Just because you want to believe a fallacy that is spouted off by randos who just like to tell other ppl what to do to feel important doesn't make their words actual truth.
Whatever you say.
