Help needed with a DRG macro

[Kleeya]

I see, seems like we have mistaken "given how I'm not very knowledgeable with macros" for "does he want to know if macros are good or bad ?" XD

So, with this one you can gain one button since they are following each other in a random order :

/ac "Wheeling Thrust"
/ac "Fang and Claw"

When you are in a bad situation, press this one several times, it is a gain of 4 buttons :

/ac "Second Wind"
/ac "Bloodbath"
/ac "Feint"
/ac "Arm's Length"
/ac "Leg Sweep"

And the best for the end, between each of your GCDs, press this one or two times, it is a gain of 8 buttons :

/ac "Lance Charge"
/ac "Battle Litany"
/ac "Dragon Sight"
/ac "Geirskogul"
/ac "Stardiver"
/ac "Jump"
/ac "Mirage Dive"
/ac "Spineshatter Dive"
/ac "Dragonfire Dive"

Of course there might be a chance that someone will ask you "why are you launching this at this moment ?", but it should be very rare since like already said most people dont have a clue of how to play properly. Also i didn't make dragon sight targeting someone on purpose because getting the best person to launch it on can be a bit too much difficult to do.

Total gain : 13 buttons. There might be more to get, but since it has been a while i didn't play DRG it is all that i can come up with for the moment.

Jesus, no don't do this. This is a terrible idea. I'm not even gonna get into how bad it is to put your buffs and ALL of your jumps on a single button, because that's just all wrong, and focus on why you shouldn't put all your role actions on a single button, because each one does something completely different (aside from bloodbath and second wind, which both heal you in different ways, but don't stack them either). Feint lowers the target's phys attack for a few seconds, outside of savage and EX to a lesser extent, it isn't that important. More important is that Arm's Length and leg Sweep do two entirely different things, both of which you'll want on command for when they are needed. Arm's length makes you immune to most knockbacks and (less important to non-tanks) applies a slow to trash that hit you during the duration, and Leg sweep is a stun. All 3 of the above skills are situational that you will want to use at very specific times, to put them all on a single macro makes it impossible to achieve that, at least without possibly wasting another skill pointlessly.

I gotta be as genuine as I can and say just practice and get used to having a lot of skills. This may seem like a shortcut, but it's a terrible idea that will hurt you in the long run.

These have to be the absolute worst macros i've seen in a while. Whatever you do, don't use these.

OP, as contoller player, proper hotbar layout and practice does more better in long run than messing with macros. If you just take everything off, then put them on one by one in some logical manner (combo skills near one another, then skills related to those combos. Most used and important ones like combos at front, less used and ones with long cooldown on back) and hit some dummy to the get the feel, you'll have way better time using your job.
OP hasn't posted his layouts but I've seen it over and over where people complain that they have issues with managing crossbars and then they have stuff like tank stances and invulns on main bar and different GCDs spread across multiple hotbars. Poor management of hotbars leads to poor results and macros don't really solve it.
