Subject: RE: [eqbards] twisting 5, added note


A macro cannot adjust to a missed note, and becomes a liability in the case
of repeated missed notes. I tried it, a while back. You can't pick up
where you missed a note. The social has to start at the beginning again,
once you manage to stop it, and start it again.

A macro also cannot change the math (since you like math) involved, in cast
times, and duration times. While I haven't sat down and formulated all the
possible combinations (I'd rather spend what little free time I get playing
the game), I'm relatively certain that there is no combination of songs that
allows for a true, no dropped effects, 5 song twist. You will get dropped
effects, and, in my opinion, any "twist" that inherently drops effects, is
no twist at all.

Feel free to continue to disagree, however, you can't change the fact that,
if dropped effects don't matter, then we can all twist 8 songs effortlessly.

I haven't a high enough level bard to test it, but surely writing a macro (a
social button) would eliminate most of the complaints you have with twisting
four.
