    Can you run Macros Simultaneously

    My question is in regards to fighting a long Boss (Fate/Dungeon) where I need to do alot of things and maintain alot of things.

    For Example: I would like to have a macro that every ~30 secs it will apply my DoTs which can have a 4 mins time frame. But I also want to use my macro apply my buff somewhere within that time frame that may take 10 secs with GCD.

    So does running one macro interfere with running another.

    I haven't tested it in XIV but in XI starting another macro interrupted previously triggered Macros.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Running another macro will interrupt your first macro yes.

    so if you did

    macro:

    /ac "some buff" <me>
    /wait 60
    /echo my buff is ready!!
    and then before the 60 seconds have passed, you fire macro number two

    macro:

    /ac "some other ability/dot" <t>
    the first one will never fire it´s echo command as you interrupted it with a new macro.

    The second macro cancels the first macro. BUT a action that is not macro-ed can be performed inside the wait time of a macro. This will not mess your macro up unless it has to do with the GCD.

    Oh yes, that is correct. I was only citing it macro wise, but you´re correct.
