If reset=# isn't used for timing a macro, what DOES blizzard intend for it to do? I mean, it's not like this macro wouldn't do exactly what I was intending to do with a whole bunch of interface spam:

[code:1]/cast Holy Shield
/castsequence reset=30 Seal of Righteousness, Judgement[/code:1]
Thats exactly what they don't want you to be able to do. They don't want to see macros like that.

Basically, it's to give a way to reset the sequence other than combat/target.

For example: (not that good of an example, but oh well)
They don't have a problem with hitting a hotkey twice to ice then blink.
They do have a problem with something like Frost Nova, Blink, Frostbolt, Frostbolt, Frostbolt (till Frost Nova resets) then Frost Nova, Blink and Frostbolt spam again all by just hitting one button over and over (and spinning arround after blink).

It's one of the protections in the game to (attempt) to stop players from being able to play the game by just hitting one button over and over.


I love the macro system in this game, they did a great job of stopping to much automation while at the same time giving very powerful macro ability.
