Combat step

I really don't understand how people have problems with double tapping...hotkey the skill and never double tap (except when turning around immediately after swing 2)

I like the freedom that double tapping gives you. In fact, I hardly macro any of my skills, because I feel you have more flexibility when everything is separate.

The only macro I've ever used is the backshot+wings macro on my outlaw, but even then backshot and wings each have their own individual keys set out on my keyboard as well.

Maybe it's just me. I like having more control over my character, and the double tap thing is something you get used to.

Unless their keyboard is stiff or not very responsive, then I'd understand their hostility towards it.
