    You can macro draw/play and minor arcana/crown play together into single button presses.

    Macros are weird if you're desperately trying to min/max so you might clip a little, but other than that they work just fine.

    Astro's got button bloat, but it can be managed with macro's pretty well.

    if macros in this game were actually responsive and good, then i would agree. but having to pick between actions being unreliable or having a hotbar full of redundant actions is the very last thing i would call good design


    that said, i dont struggle with button bloat too much because i know i dont need benefic1 and undraw, so thats 2 free slots in the hotbar.

    i really wish they got rid of benefic 1 and just upgraded to benefic 2... both have the same cast time, the same mp:heal ratio, and enhanced benefic's 15% proc rate is functionally the same chance as just critting benefic ii. theres no reason to ever use benefic 1 when not level synced since aspected benefic heals 3x more for the exact same mp anyways.

    My desire to nitpick this statement (since they're not 1:1) is ever growing...
