Reason For Repeat Lines In User Macros?

[RSS News]

I was trying to make a macro that shirks my off tank, but keeps my target.

I did this successfully, however sometimes it does not fire right (probably the time between macro function calls)

However a friend said to repeat the action line multiple times.

for example, they had:

/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>
/ac Shukuchi <t>

for all 14 lines that are allowed in a macro. They said that this will spam it to ensure that it gets cast when you press it once and that it doesnt cause an issue because once it is cast it is on cooldown and wont be cast again. so for abilities not on the GDC this works

so they said I can do the same

/ac shirk <2>
/ac shirk <2>
/ac shirk <2>
/ac shirk <2>
ect.


is this true? what are the nuances of doing this? How does the server react to this? will this effect my my GDC uptime?
