Why use castsequence for AoE spells?
Castsequence macros help you cycle through multiple abilities with a single button press. This can simplify your rotation and make it easier to manage several targets at once, reducing the chance of missing an ability.
Can I add more spells to a castsequence AoE macro?
Yes, you can add more spells, but be mindful of the 255-character limit for macros. Prioritize your most important AoE and defensive abilities to ensure the macro remains effective and concise.
What does 'reset=10' mean in the macro?
The 'reset=10' command means the castsequence will reset to the first spell after 10 seconds of inactivity on that macro, or after a specific spell is cast (e.g., reset=target for a new target). This ensures you can re-engage with your primary AoE ability.
