/click -- why?

[vikemosabe]

Just a simple question that's been bugging me?
What's the advantage of doing click macros?
I can only assume there is one, but I don't know what it is.

I'm sure you guys can learn me on it, so thanks.

make your big button the only one you will have to press in pve situations, as long as your macros are setup up and timed correctly

If you don't use /click your castsequence macros will hang and cost you dps. With /click you won't hang, you will go on to the next available macro.

Thanks for the answers.
Looks like I'm gonna switch my guys over to click.
Actually, 2 out of 3 of my dps is already using them.

One button spam is easier then spamming 6 buttons.
And with the proper comma's (delays), each is refreshed either as it expires or when the recast delay allows another cast.
Plus you can prioritize your spells, so you'll never attempt to Conflag without Immolate up (as an example).

6 Buttons? Now what am I suppose to do? I got a 6th digit grafted unto each hand just so I could mash the 12 keys at the same time!

12 keys and 1 evil key to rule them all!

thanks for asking that question vikemosabe - was wondering that myself.

Doesn't /click depend on mashing your big button at a very consistent pace though? There's a direct relationship to how fast and hard I mash the button - usually to do with how close the boss or myself is to dying. It would suck to have to learn to control myself and hit the button 12 times every 5 seconds

Buy a metronome. With a metronome I can get a consistant 200ms per button hit (5 times a second) pretty consistantly. Don't forget to figure in lag time as well.

Wait, what? If this is true, then the /click system is broken. Per blue posters, /click is supposed to be _identical_ to normal macros in terms of chained execution.

They are - you can get the same functionality with not using click. Its the consecutive castsequences with commas for timing that is the real magic.
