I couldn’t agree more and obviously this has been on my mind! I’ve been pushing and pushing, have learned a ton, and feel like I’ve built a great foundation on how I’m going to approach this in the future. I’ve only recently learned (within the past month) of the big changes to addons and with GSE being no exception. Bummer. I’m excited for what’s to come and we all appreciate the words of concern. I will update the description to better inform the user. Thanks 👍 ---

It cannot be made to work in TWW. There are no backwards compatibility things that can be done or fixed that can make it work in TWW. There is an alpha of GSE available to GSE Patrons. There is a learning curve and essentially nothing you do now will work in the new world. What is available in TWW so far seems to be working better than what we do now anyway. Start there and then read the other linked post, ---

Yeah setup 20 clicks per second. It’s gonna be bannable. Every macro clicker are bannable doesn’t matter it’s 1-5-10 clicks per second. Or it’s safe and it’s some method to use it safety?? ---

@Hagieha_Official he safest way to use a clicker, in my opinion, is to always always use it with a manual “hold to click” function rather than a “toggle on/off” function. I’m no Blizz employee, just a guy who makes macros, but I’ve had no problems with 20/sec with GSE. ~1,000 hrs+. Some of the longer GSE users suggest no more than 5 clicks/sec. I’ve found that by squeezing more actions within a GCD window that I can but more ‘cool features’ into each macro. That’s why I run them so fast. ---

I am not level 70. i am a level 60 char, and i just found this macro to try and well play the game. i will eventually level this char to be a tank. So, i have a question: when using this macro, i noticed that the speed it uses to apply a ‘‘keystroke’’ so using abilities it seems to be slow. while using my own fingers on the keyboard using the same abilities goes way faster. Is there a way to change this and increase the speed of the button smashing? I tried to use my Icue app to change the speed of the keybind, but i am not able to find it and change it ---

I’m so confused. I bound no mod to my button but am I supposed to bind all of them? Anyone got a video on how to do this? I am used to Elf’s setups. Do I have to bind all of these to a seperate button and use all of them? Usually I do one button macros. ![image](https://wowlazymacros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/4/f418c567faf0313884b7f8d3b7797d67460851a2.png) ---

So to make this an easy answer - yes Here is my setup: I use [ on my mouse wheel scroll down. That way i can spin that wheel and every “tick” of that mouse wheel its a [ When binding, i use: [ for the NOMACRO SHIFT + [ for the SHIFT bind (if you hold shift and press [ is does a key + key bind) etc … This is so when it pops and tells me SHIFT on the screen, i press SHIFT while scrolling my wheel giving me a SHIFT + [ press.
