It's super simple to macro. The problem is that macros can only execute in 1s intervals for wait, and dont queue. When you cast a skill up to 0.4s before it's ready, it queues up to fire immediately, as I understand it. Macros don't, and the wait times cannot be 0.4, only 1s at a time. The result is it works, but it's considerably slower as you lose about 0.2s per cast compared to manual queueing.

I don't know if it's an engine limitation or if it's artificial to discourage macros, but so far outside crafting and QoL they're pretty useless. Not sure how ogcd's work tho.
