Why use an opener macro?
Opener macros help you execute your initial spell rotation quickly and consistently, maximizing your burst damage at the start of a fight. This reduces the chance of misclicks or delays during a critical damage window.
Can I include my racial ability in an opener macro?
Yes, you can integrate racial abilities like 'Berserking' or 'Fireblood' into your opener macro. Place them strategically at the beginning of the macro, or before a high-damage ability, to align with your burst window.
What if my opener abilities are on cooldown?
If an ability in your cast sequence is on cooldown, the macro will attempt the next available ability in the sequence. For modifier macros, it will attempt the ability associated with the pressed modifier key or the base ability if no modifier is used.
