idk why you deleted that, seemed solid to me, though I don’t see them actually fixing this interaction. Even putting grappling hook on the gcd wouldn’t actually change this, you would just need to make sure you were off gcd when you pressed the button

I think some things being repeated is ok

Think the main thing is some people think pressing one button shouldn’t press three buttons at the same time maybe off gcd abilities can be excluded from macros.
Just

it
It’s not
You still have to aim the grapple which is a distinct difference to when macros in SL and @focus would drop cap totem right on top of enemies for you
Okay but it’s still activating three abilities in quick succession way faster than humanely possible no ?
Tbf you could just keybind those buttons close to each other and push them all at the same time and do it.

Some prob disagree with this but I’m kinda of the mind that this kind of stuff should only work as a sequence. In other words, you should be required to press the button three times if you have three separate abilities on the macro. At least then they’d have to take a half a second to aim the hook on the tail end of it. Things like this only further limit the ability of newer players to get into the game on top of everything else because nobody on the planet is fast enough to do it as quickly as a singular press of a button will do it for them.

I’ve already shown its humanly possibly, albeit a bit impractical, to pull off.
It’s doable with 3 separate macros, so changing macros to be unable to multicast off gcd items/abilities to not even fix this one scenario would be a bit terrible.
Woooo lawd do you remember the kick bots in MoP I’m having flashbacks over here 
How about we just take out macros altogether? Why does a GAME need automation at all? Add skill tiers to the game by making people target their focus/arena123 and then cast a spell instead of having a keybind to instantly do everything for them.
Weakauras are on another level too. Get rid of it all.

Macros aren’t holding you back.
If i’m not wrong there’s a macro extending addon or something. Lets you have absurd macros. Could be thinking of something else. Also don’t know if that’s what this means.
There used to be, I used to use it on my demo lock for opens wayyyyy back in the day. It essentially let you quadruple (or more) the amount of text you could use when writing a macro.
Oh man I swear you set yourself up for some good jokes Kennie, but I’ll be nice to you this time.
“Nobody is playing” “Que times are too high” “Where are all the healers.”
You need an entire action bar of macros.
You need a minimum of 5 addons to play the game.
You need 50 plus key binds to master.
If you want to play alts you gotta learn those keys as well.
You’re playing against players with 10 to 15 years’ experience in this setting.
Nah, you’re right. Keep the game too convoluted. You don’t need new players. The games been around what, close to 20 years? No chance players in the current base drop out over time for various reasons. People arguing against change, be careful what you ask for. There’s a really good reason games like WoW are next to nonexistent.

you are lazy like majority of the playerbase then, so just get over it.
Never said they were my little pull string doll.
I shouldn’t have to do someone else’s work to prove their point, but I ultimately did.
