FAQ

Why use castsequence for an opener?

Castsequence macros streamline your initial ability rotations, allowing you to execute multiple spells with fewer key presses. This minimizes human error and ensures a consistent start to your damage output.

What does 'reset=10' mean in a castsequence macro?

'reset=10' means the macro sequence will reset to the first spell if you don't press the button again for 10 seconds. This helps prevent getting stuck in a sequence if combat ends or your target dies.

Can I add trinkets to my opener macro?

Yes, you can integrate 'use' commands for trinkets into your opener macros. Place them strategically within the sequence to maximize their benefit alongside your abilities.
