FAQ

Why use a cast sequence macro for an opener?

Cast sequence macros automate a series of spells, ensuring they are cast in a specific order with each press. This is beneficial for openers to consistently apply essential buffs or damage abilities without multiple keybinds.

Can I incorporate defensive abilities into an opener macro?

While possible, it's generally not recommended to include defensive abilities in a standard opener sequence. Defensive cooldowns are often situational and should be used reactively rather than pre-emptively on every pull.

How do I reset my opener sequence macro if something goes wrong?

You can add 'reset=combat' or 'reset=target' to your castsequence macro. 'reset=combat' will reset the sequence once you leave combat, while 'reset=target' will reset it when your current target dies or changes.
