    But not possible because of GCD?

    Also -

    Stamcro-macro, Magcro-macro. Idiocy or meta tongue-twister?

    Devices like these have enough buttons to have spare buttons left over to macros. I will not confirm nor deny that I use macros to kill players are complete PvE content.

    What I will say is. That macros are highly advantageous in this game PvP and PvE. So much that I will say. If you can't beat em join em with alt accounts!

    Think I'll have too at this rate

    @JamieAubrey macros in pvp? :trollface: sure if we had no lag issues and solid 60 fps at least...but otherwise...what you just experienced can be solved with some l2p pills.

    It is a L2P issue. Just use your head and think about what the Learn to Play means here.

    Like someone said before if ZOS allowed everyone to use macros , everyone would be on equal ground here. Because they do not , it gives the advantage towards those account risk takers that use them . If ZOS allowed macros , I would write a bunch that would work great at ganking people and rek twice as many people no problem. You'd be lucky if you even saw the animation before you died .

    Your statements are mostly incorrect, and I don't give any credit what uber macros you have written in other "allowed" games. You cannot defend a base with a simple silly mouse macro here neither you can PvP in Cyrodiil, AFK capturing flags etc. It is all clear bullsheet.

    Come to yourself & stop exaggerating and misleading people without knowing what's going on.

    Using macro just to queue LA right before the skill is a simple thing and I see many people doing it around, which doesn't create any advantage. Eventually, majority playing with 80-200ms latency that swallow macro/non-macro weavers altogether anyway besides that; having the same CMX performance reports with or without macroing LAs.

    And bashing all peep who doesn't agree with you as "oh snap! look I catch another macro user" is I'm sorry but quite silly action, I see your type of people almost everywhere.
    I don't use it or I don't defend it but I also don't defend "lies" like what you're stating all around.

    What more; I completely agree with people saying "macro cannot intervene GCD" no matter what your nonsense blanked statement says. And no I'm not another witch for you to burn publicly. It's you witching around.

    Enjoy your nonsense and good luck at your witch hunt.

    Edit:
    *If there was no advantage, they wouldn't be using it!*
    Answer: They just want to click one button, instead of two. Nonsense.

    Macros could be easly detected and banned IF zenimax would care about it.

    Can't name names but was just killed from an EP NB that crit rushed me and BOOM dead in 1 skill, oh but my death recap

    Light Attack
    Surprise Attack
    Heavy Attack
    Surprise Attack
    Crit Rush

    Now I saw him coming at me with the rush and I blocked it but was instantly killed, unless time stopped for me while he did 4 other attacks why are people still aloud to get away with using Macros ?

    Record everything, it's what I do, I record every play session I have. Anything I find weird or any big fights I lose I go back and look at what they did, what I did, and what I could do different.

    Doing this helps you become a better player and it gives concrete proof when you do come across a hacker.

    Problem is I feel most cheaters don't cheat that way, I feel and this is all totally speculation, but cheaters will normally buff things like Regen numbers and resistances, things that would be harder to identify.

    It's a lag and some can manipulate it.

    How do you know it's a macro?
    As others have said, some skills in this game look quite dodgy when they are weaved with light/heavy attacks and certain other skills. Nightblade animations are particularly bad for this. On my magblade, I was accused many many times by salty duelists of using macros, a couple even bragged that they reported me. I have never used a macro, I just learned how to animation cancel efficiently to get the most out of the combat system.

    Hello everyone,

    This post is to let you know that we've felt it necessary to put this thread down, as it seemed to have died some time ago. At this time we'd like to try and keep Draugr threads from roaming around the front page, pushing down newer and more lively threads.

    Thank you for understanding!
