    If your actual click speed is 1.8 clicks per second, instead of 2.0 clicks for the first spell, then the second spell will also be off, if based off of 2 clicks per second. Or the same, if your click speed is 2.4 per second while the macro was built based off of 2 per second. Click speed per second will be consistent good, or too fast or too slow, when compared with each of the macros.

    You don't need to adjust for a cast time, as it is a priority sequence. While Steady Shot is firing off, nothing else can. But as soon as Steady has finished, the first ability which is ready (according to our priority basis) will fire off.

    I determine the number of commas to add to a click sequence the same way as you do. Sometimes I tweak it, for 1 less commas or 1 extra commas. But usually stick with 2 clicks per second, times desired interval between castings/use of the ability.

    I guess I need to really work on keeping that click spam rhythm as consistent as possible.

    Thanks for the reply and confirmation of the mechanics.

    1 No, the commas are for each spell's CD and DoT times. Is it interfering with passing to the next cast? Its better to have a few more commas. If Black Arrow only has 3 commas, you will get stuck on the cooldown with a message "That ability is not ready yet". It wont goto Serpent Sting. I had this problem with too few commas on Lava Lash. Just subtract enough commas for plus or minus a second when the CD/DoT expires. the only way to get it precisely is if you use a external program, but that would be botting.

    2 No, CD are longer than most casting times and the GCD. CDs are still counting down during casting time. Spells with a casting time AND a CD, I don't think the CD starts until its casted. (This is why i dont like some of the warlock dest spells. Instant spells have a CD or Dot. Spells with casting times dont have CDs. But a casting time and a CD; is Chaos Bolt that powerful? )

    3 I dont think so. Commas are not sending anything to the servers. Edit- You mean the lag on your PC system? Not unless you are playing wow on a Commadore 64.

    What's the space between the commas do? That's the only thing i couldn't find in the forums.

    Two commas with nothing between them will allow the macro to "fall through" to the next line.

    So, as an example, let's assume the following:
    • You have a ret pally
    • You want to spam crusader strike (4-second cooldown)
    • You want to drop consecrate between your Crusader Strikes
    • You press your macro button once per second

    A working macro would look like:
    Code:
    /castsequence reset=3/combat crusader strike, , , ,
    /cast consecration

    Can this work for 2-3 min CDs like Psychic Horror? I have been trying for so long to work it in. I can't put it in front of the rotation; its stuck on next target/combat. I cant put it at the end; Mind Flay instant spells won't pass to it. i have even try filling the entire macro with commas. Maybe like this...?
    /castsquence Mind Blast,, ,,,,
    /cast Psychic Horror
    Maybe have more commas than the channeling time? (instead of the usual nochanneling)
    /click button3
    /click button4
    /castsequence mind Flay............
    /cast Psychic horror
    the long CD makes it so hard to test
