Need help with a warlock macro

Ok so what I want to do is macro all 3 of the skills that provide PSI, then cast Willpower Blade (buff), then Flaming heart strike, soul brand sting, and repeat the last two 6 times. My problem is Psychic Arrows isn't firing off in the macro. Any idea why or suggestions to fix it? This is what I have....

/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Puzzlement
/wait 1
/script CastSpellByName("Psychic Arrows")
/wait .9
/script CastSpellByName("Willpower Blade")
/wait .5
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9
/cast Sould Brand Sting
/wait .9
/cast Flaming Heart Strike
/wait .9


I have an addon that allows for more than the default 255 characters before anyone comments about how long this is.

*update*
I've tried putting various other skills in the third spot and it seems none of them are firing off.

2 questions: do u have enough focus to cast the skill(i don't play a warlock, so this might be a stupid question)? and is the wait 1 enough time to alot for puzzlement's cast time(if it has one...again, i don't play a warlock)?

these might be stupid questions, but i figured i could at least put my $0.02 in and try to help...

No worries. Yes I do have enough focus for the needed skills. I did more tweaking after the post and figured out I needed a wait of 2.5 for the first 3 to all trigger, anything less and the third skill wont trigger, why I have no idea. I've been playing with reducing the times as much as I can but at some points the wait times seem to be way too long, but without those they won't trigger. Gotta love rom.

in a macro, the /wait starts as soon as the previous skill begins to cast, so if the skill has a cast time, u have to alot for the cast in the /wait...

don't know if this was the case, but i am assuming puzzlement has a cast time...

It does, I might look at it again later tonight and see if that is the case with the macro.

Puzzzlement has a 2 second cast time. I am no means an expert, but it appears that your macro would try to cast Psychic arrows while the cast for puzzlement was still going on and that may explain why nothing you put in that third line works.

so since it has a cast time, u need to /wait for 2+ seconds, to alot for the cast time, or else, as auros said, it will try and cast the next skill during the cast time

^^ What the other folks have said. Also remember that if you are aiming to get minimum wait times for your macros, you may need to make minor adjustments based on fps and ping as when you get lag the wait times need to increase to compensate -- not everyone can use the same wait times. I do not suspect you will have this issue with .9 wait tho, but thought i'd mention it.
