    There is, but it's suboptimal so you're going to get a lot of pushback for doing it. Good for solo play or dungeoneering (losing a GCD here or there won't affect the outcome), definitely DON"T do it in any high level play (EX or higher).

    You'll lose a GCD every 2-3 rotations, so while it's not game breaking, if people are parsing, they'll definitely notice.

    You can use tab to auto generate the abilities so you don't have to worry about typing them if you don't want to copy and paste.

    /macroicon "Keen Edge"
    /ac "Keen Edge" <t> <wait.3>
    /ac "Brutal Shell" <t> <wait.3>
    /ac "Solid Barrel" <t> <wait.3>

    In that longer GCD it gives you a good opportunity to practice using your OGCD's like Rough Divide.

    Teeeeeeechnically you could do it the PVP way, but you'd have to macro in unused hotbars and use multiple macros and such and it's a pain. It's also super inefficient in the end, as mentioned, because macros don't queue up like normal abilities meaning you might have to mash the same one a few times to go off. But it is doable, just a lot of setup and taking up like 3 or more macro slots for one 1-2-3 combo. I mostly only use it for BLU to reset my hotbars to include the macro commands I use, since I have to change my whole loadout sometime.

    As stated above, I don't recommend you macroing it as opposed to just the standard 1-2-3; it's more effective to have control over your GCD actions to weave between them better.

    Since everybody already answered about the issues with macro

    may i ask one question ? Why would you put them in a macro instead of just pressing 1-2-3 ?

    I imagine they're playing on controller and GNB has a lot of buttons.
    I often don't have LB on my bars as GNB.

    Can confirm, GNB has at least one button too many to neatly fit on cross hotbars. And that's with separate single-target and AoE hotbars. It would be even worse if I had to somehow fit those on the same hotbar. As it is, Bloodfest is tucked away on a different hotbar since I can mostly keep track of its status, and I don't have LB on hotbars because I don't tank the content that requires a tank LB.

    Problem with tanks in general. They have a sh!t ton of buttons.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Naw, im on ps4 and I fit everything on 2 cross bars and track all my CDs with a hotbar.

    To the OP. Don't use macros for combat. Only small occasions like rez or aoe ground placement macros work relatively ok.
