Can anyone help with macros
All I want to do is something simple. I just want to use 3 abilitites in one macro.

What I have in the box is

/ac "Spinning Edge"

/ac "Gust Slash"

/ac "Aeolian Edge"

My goal was that once it did Spinning Edge, when I hit the macro again it would do Gust Slash, then hit it again it would do Aeolian. But it just repeats spinning edge every time I hit the macro. What am I doing wrong?

The way you have the macro set up, you're asking the game to trigger all 3 skills at once. You can't make it so each time you press the macro, the skill changes, to my knowledge.

Depends on the skill. If you hit the macro before Spinning Edge's CD is up, then it should do a Gust Slash but it's better to actually have them on separate keys.

Using one macro containing many skills, you'd usually have a skill set that a Bard would use (i.e. where you prioritize Misery's End over Windbite over Poisonbite/etc.).

/macroicon "Bloodletter"
/ac "Misery's End" <t>
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>
/ac "Heavy Shot" <t>

Like what you've done, but it's best used so you can spam that one macro and get the skill off in that order of priority.

-----

If you want to press one key, then have it perform a set of skills in sequence, you need to add /wait x

/surprised motion
/wait 1
/huzzah motion

For your ROG combo, you need to add /wait 2.5 ( and don't forget to change this should you get more +skillspeed). You also need the self-discipline to stop mashing the button... should you do that, you'd be just doing the first skill on the list over and over again.

Otherwise, you need to put something like /macrolock as your first 'skill'. This prevents further macros from being acted upon until the current macro's done. Using your set of three skills as an example... /macrolock would lock you into this set of skills... that's about 10s.

I know this isn't answering your question but I'd advise against macroing your Spinning Edge combo. There are going to be times where you're going to want to use your Mudras in the middle of that combo and if you're macroing it then you can't.
