But warcraft has a thing called the Global Cool Down; because of the GCD, even if you were to push 23 buttons all as the result of a single input, you would only get one action in the game as the result of the one key press.
Every spell that triggers the GCD cannot be cast at the same time as another ability that also triggers the GCD. So even though both macros are pushed at once, unless one calls something off of the GCD then two things cannot activate.
The click based macros, which on a single keypress on our part, click two different macros do the exact same thing, except instead of doing it at the software multiplexer level, this is occurring at the warcraft level. Exactly the same thing though.
The actions that Blizzard cares about are governed by the GCD. They don't give a shit if you jump while doing something else. Similarly, it is ok to move both forward and strafe at the same time, there's nothing in the game that prevents you from moving while doing something else.
Blizzard does not want Bot type activity, which if anyone takes the time to read the post where the 1 press = 1 action was stated, the blue elaborated.. They don't want you to push one key, have one thing occur and then 3 seconds later without another push, something different, which can continue onwards for a lengthy process.
You're better off with two steps and alternating between them. This way you're guaranteed each castsequence advances as quickly as possible. If you mash both together, you could theoretically get one sequence several presses in a row, and it might be a sequence which is stuck. The whole point of two sequences, is that even though one of them cannot fire for whatever reason, the other can fire off fine.
