    Macro's for bard

    I looked it up a bit but I still have some questions so here it goes.
    I know there is the obvious buff macro for all buffs. Yet I also see a lot of (>misery's end > bloodletter > normal skill such as venomous bite or straight shot).
    What I wonder is if I should make that macro for all the skills I rotate trough, both Dot's straight shot and heavy shot or If I should just keep it for Heavy shot alone.
    Reason I ask is because I don't know what has priority, both my dots (should I just make a macro for that as well?), using straight shot when it has auto crit or does misery's end/bloodletter always have priority?
    This is assuming I have the trait that has a chance to reset bloodletter with every tick from venom/windshot.
    Thanks in advance for your advice / answers ^^

    So you mean like
    /ac windbite
    /wait 3
    /ac straight shot

    or
    /ac wind bite
    /ac SS
    ?

    Not sure if that's very effective.. there's no way to make sure SS will only go off on auto crit, so straight shot could be a waste.

    I have wind bite/venomous bite in single macro with wait 3 in between. If BL becomes available (with wind bite or just by normal 15sec cooldown), it'll simply gets activated when i use HS or SS anyway. There's no need to pair DoT skill with SS or HS.

    The /waits are kind of clunky. Best setup I've found for an all in one macro is from my other thread.

    Main Macro
    /ac "Misery's End" <t>
    /ac "Heavy Shot" <t>
    /ac "Bloodletter" <t>
    /ac "blunt arrow" <t> <--if battles don't require timed interrupts
    /ac "Hawk's Eye" <me>
    /ac "Raging Strikes" <me>
    /ac "Internal Release" <me>
    /ac "Barrage" <me>
    /ac "Quelling Strikes" <me>

    prioritizes misery's end if it's ready, uses blunt arrow on cooldown, heavy shot is the default attack and it will keep buffs up between attacks. Venomous and Windbite share global cooldown so unless you want to use a /wait, they have to have their own buttons.

    What I am doubting between is using

    /ac "Venomous Bite"
    /wait 2.5
    /ac "Windbite"

    >straight shot

    /ac "Misery's end"
    /ac "Bloodletter"
    /ac "Heavy shot"

    What this does is a simple macro for my dot's go to straight shot for buff etc. Then misery's end, bloodletter and if they are all on cooldown, Heavy shot.
    But is it better then:
    /ac "Misery's end"
    /ac "Bloodletter"
    /ac "Venomous Bite"

    /ac "Misery's end"
    /ac "Bloodletter"
    /ac "windbite"

    /ac "Misery's end"
    /ac "Bloodletter"
    /ac "Straightshot"

    /ac "Misery's end"
    /ac "Bloodletter"
    /ac "Heavyshot"

    This prioritizes Misery's end and bloodletter at all times.
    Opinions please ^_^
