Requested Changes to Macro Programming / UI

[Steeled]

OP, please add an "on/off" option to raid marking.

For instance, instead of /marking attack1 <t>, I'd love something that was like..

/marking <attack1> <t> on or if they feel that's too complex to determine if the on parameter is there, a new command would do.

/markingon <attack1> <t>

The purpose would be that when this is pressed repeatedly (like it's part of my shield lob macro), it doesn't get removed from the same target. Obviously trying to mark two targets with <1> would remove it from the first target.

I added your suggestion to the main topic.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this Macro?

/micon "Aetherial Manipulation"
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>

I would like the skill information from Aetherial Manipulation when I mouseover it.
Not sure what adding the /micon did though it seemed like it may be incorporated into GCD now? As first it was always "Active"

I'd rather have combo attacks not be optional and be mandatory, like monk stance attacks. Like for example, not allowing you to do savage blade unless you use fast blade first. There's no instance where you'd want to use a mid/final combo attack that isn't combo'd, nor are there any attacks outside the combo that doesnt interrupt the combo but isnt part of the gcd. This way you can make a macro of:

/ac "Rage of Halone" <t>
/ac "Savage Blade" <t>
/ac "Fast Blade" <t>

And have it perform a perfect combo as the macros are executed repeatedly instead of executing an uncombo'd rage of halone over and over. This way you can cut down hotbar slot usage and you only need to decide based on what final combo you want to have (example: storm eye macro or storm path macro).

/micon makes the macro icon display the selected skill's icon and cooldown (but no tooltip) regardless of the icon selected in the macro edit menu).
<mo> makes the particular skill chooses target based on your mouse hover (but not click), allowing you to target targetA and then hovering over targetB with your mouse and pressing the macro to attack/heal targetB without losing your targetting on targetA

[Asmodeus]

would be nice it they let use have an item macro.

This would be nice too. I do have to wonder if '/action 'Item name' <me>' works though. or '/action 'item name' <t>' I might try this tonight.

Another thing I'd really like is for /macroicon to include the spell's tooltip when mousing over an ability. Right now, that command only allows the display of the GCD and any proc notifications.

[Vensaval]

Hope nobody minds too much if I perform a slight necro to this thread because I would really love to see gcd and item macros implemented.

[Inferiae]

Are you guys really able to use decimal times in wait? Because, at least apparently, when I use decimal, it rounds off.
If I use /wait 2.5, it's actually 3 seconds.

I must be doing something wrong then :x

[Vensaval]

Does it round off? If it does, then it would make sense as to why, say, a Macro consisting of:

/ac "True Thrust" <t>
/wait 2.5
/ac "Vorpal Thrust" <t>

feels incredibly slow compared to when you input the commands manually.
