Question about macro orders

This happens because macros are NOT executed simultaneously.

If you are mashing the button, it is possible that it is in the second, or third line of macro execution when the GCD finally comes up.

This is especially prevalent if you spam heal macros (mouseover, target, then me), it will have a high probability of ignoring the mouseover, sometimes even the target and healing only yourself.

I was thinking something like this could be the issue but i always thought that macros were executed simultaneously. Guess not though. I wonder if there is any way to modify the chain to help counter act this. Like maybe place an extra /ac "Snap Punch" <t> in again right before the Bootshine or Dragon kick command line.

I'm not so sure...what I do is not mash the macro.

Yes, you do lose something like 100 milliseconds or so of dps, but (I don't know monks) it seems like missing (or redoing) part of your rotation is a huge nono, esp if you depend on timing your forms correctly.

So it might be worth the slight lag to wait until you see your GCD almost come up before hitting the button.

For healing, this is what i do, because missing a heal is MUCH worse than delaying it by a small time. For dps...its harder, because you need to maximize your uptime.
