Macros

Love them, but don't use them. We should be able to tell the Icon what it's cooldown is,

E.g. give us a
/set cooldown 30

We use that one time in the macro and the icon on our hotbar will show the CD for 30 seconds and move down to 0 and be grayed out (not disabled) until it counts down to 0.

That would make my day, please add something like this SE.

I have a stun macro I like to use but don't because I can't see the cooldown of it on the hotbar and I don't like relying on /echo to tell me it's off cooldown

If it is a one-line macro you can use /micon

But you are right, this is a really good idea. I think it would be really nice to be able to have a cooldown that worked for multiple steps, including wait times.

Maybe you should add this to the quality of life thread or the website feedback and suggestions forum. :)

/micon "Action Name" as the first line in the macro shows the icon & cooldown of the action in question.

/micon "Brutal Swing"
/ac "Brutal Swing"
/p Annoying macro text y'all!
/whateverelse

I started playing around with the macros and was loving it, but then it started to act all funky every now and then. Like this one crafting synth macro I got , I originally had 3sec waits on it , it was working good and then it started to "skip" steps, I guess because it figured enough time hadn't passed. So I then went with 3.5 seconds , it improved for awhile. And then it started skipping steps again and breaking synths :\ so to furhter my laziness, I pushed it to 4 seconds lol. It worked great after that for awhile and then it started skipping steps again , so I'm all like ughhhhhh stupid macro!!!

Here's a bunch of useful macros I made for the public and also has the /macroicon "Ability" shown as you would naturally have them set. Hope it helps. :)

The problem you have is not with the macro its with your latency in other words your having lag problems during the time your using your macros, /wait 3 between touches and /wait 2 between buffs is enough.
