Guild Wars 2

^^^see question above.

No, one button – one action.

They are not but people still use them. There are no penalties for that so no one cares if it is allowed or not.

Yes and no.

You may use a macro to activate a skill, for example I have the F5 skills macro’d onto my mouse thumb buttons.

You may not macro multiple actions to one key press like using judges intervention, smite conditions and test of faith to activate exactly 1s after activating true shot like so many DH seem to.

Or jump and dodge at the same time, yes you people who do it every single time without fail even when it makes 0 sense to do so.

I mean those who use multiple spells at the same time. I figured some guy was using macros because they all activated at the same time but in some cases it didn’t make sense to use them like this but he still did.

No, macros are prohibited. A key can be assigned to a button, but one button cannot perform a sequence of motions.

If you suspect that malicious activity is occurring, try your best to see if the action repeats, and then use the report function in game (right click on character portrait).

If you’re talking specifically about DH’s trap combo, it’s because Test of Faith and judge’s intervention has no cast time. this means you can cast these while using other skills. You can literally faceroll these 2 skills with another skill (like True Shot).

That is not a macro.

This is.

In general a macro executes a line of specific commands after clicking it once. Binding buttons to your mouse is not macro. Macro means you chain entire set of skills to one button and execute them automatically.

As always when this topic comes up…

Macros are not allowed in GW2. However, a pvp player using Macros will be far easier to beat than a good player not using macros. Macros provide absolutely no advantage in PvP, only locked in rotations easily exploited by a good player.
