The macro thing does not derail the thread. The point of this thread is to figure out exactly which skills will work with Auto Buff Gem, and when push comes to shove, it's better to have a solid test that anyone can perform at any time in game, than to have to go and look it up.
It's not a step by step thing. No one is saying you have to add a skill to a macro before you add it to an auto buff gem.
To reiterate, this was never about being able to macro a skill or not, the point is, if you can macro it, you can auto buff gem it, given that it's not a summon, and it isn't a skill that reflects damage.
It's simple, easy to remember, and anyone can do it at any time, just to see if it would work or not. You check to see if you can macro it, consider the other conditions, and then you know if you can use it with Auto Buff Gem or not.
For example:
You add Power Guard to a Macro, but it's a damage reflecting skill, test concludes you can't assign it to the auto buff gem. Don't waste your money buying one for power guard.
You add Sharp Eyes to a macro. It's not a summon, it's not a damage reflecting skill, test concludes you can assign it to the auto buff gem. Go ahead and buy an auto buff gem.
