How "twitchy" is this game?

To be honest, macros are detrimental for high pings, because macros don't queue. If you directly use skills, you can use the skill about 1 second before the (global) cooldown runs out, and it will automatically use the skill as soon as the cooldown has finished. So even with half a second or a second ping, you can still cast spells without spending time doing nothing. This doesn't work with macros however, so with a second ping, you'll have a 1 second extra downtime between casting spells.

Yes, I've noticed that (unlike WoW) I can start casting right away rather than waiting for that latency to be over. Very nice.


Would that macro be affected by latency since it's just acquiring the target of target?
