I'm a returning player, I've been playing a few weeks now and I have been struggling with getting my hotkeys to work properly. I have buff hotkey that refuse to do all the buffs, and combat hotkeys that are glitchy at best.
Here are examples of two hotkeys that give me grief:

I'm trying to get the above hotkeys to work, the first one simply ends after Gift of Alcarity is cast, and the other hotkey seldom if ever executes the Ravage ability. The buff hotkey looks so simple, I'm really perplexed as to why it won't cast the last two buffs. I even added a five second wait after Aclarity, and it still refuses to do the last two buffs. The last two i have to execute manually, so i can cast them.
I've tried extending the wait times, but maybe I'm just missing the fundamentals. When does the wait time start counting, is it immediately at the start of casting a spell or ability, or is it smart enough to wait until after the spell or ability has finished executing? I guessing the later is not true, other wise we would not even need wait times.
Or does the macro just blindly execute. For example, if I have a macro with five spells, like the one above, does the hotkey macro just execute spells as fast as it can, only being reined in by our wait timers?
Will I need to use something like my Logitech G19 to create a new macro, cast all my spells, and then look to the wait times in the G19 macro to work out the wait times for Istaria? I have actually tried to do that, and it does not work, unless I'm still missing something.
