I am trying to get into using more macros and a lot look like this —
/castsequence reset=3
What does the number mean in this case? i see them vary
Refers to the amount of time in seconds for that ability to be cast again within the sequence

So lets say i have 6 skills in the sequence, and i have the reset at like 2-3, if i keep tapping the button, will it mess up the skill sequence rotation?
If it’s properly written and casts are fulfilled then it will work properly as written. The number is to denote that the skill is on cooldown and will skip it.
The reason cast sequence macros aren’t used that often is because they do have problems.

Cast sequence reset = 4 spell 1, spell 2, spell 3, spell 4….
First of all, there is still gcds between each spell. So you can’t spam the keybinding, one press, cast spell 1, gcd, press again cast spell etc. and if you press too quick, and spell 2 is on gcd, the Marco will go deadlocked and won’t work anymore.
Secondly, for the reset =4, fist time pressing the button, you cast spell 1. And if you dont use it again after 4 seconds, it resets spell 1. On the 5th second you press the keybinding it will cast spell 1, instead of spell2.
This sometimes can be little annoying because if the deadlock. There is a macro addon called gse which can solve the issue
Enjoy your ban
You wont get banned by using macro sequence, as it is still one key strok one action. There is no automation involved and you can’t spam the spells because of deadlock
