Why use castsequence for defensive macros?
Castsequence macros allow you to consolidate multiple defensive abilities into a single keybind. This helps in executing a pre-determined sequence of actions with minimal input, improving reaction time.
Can I add trinkets to these macros?
Yes, you can integrate defensive trinkets into your castsequence macros. Ensure the trinket's cooldown aligns with the spell's reset time, or consider a separate macro for trinket usage if its cooldown is significantly different.
How do I ensure I don't accidentally waste a cooldown?
Using a 'reset' condition in your castsequence macro, such as 'reset=combat' or 'reset=20' (for a 20-second timeout), can help prevent accidental re-activation. Also, careful placement of keybinds is important.
