Let's Talk About Macros!

This would be usefull. If they added this it would make stances slightly better. as I could then macro kiss of the wasp to replace itself with kiss of the viper when I used it and vice versa.
would save slots on hotbars.

So this is completely possible right now but it is on a by a full hotbar basis.

I have two macros for swapping my ninja stances

/micon "Kiss of the Viper"
/ac "Kiss of the Viper" <me>
/hotbar copy rog 2 nin 3

and

/micon "Kiss of the Wasp"
/ac "Kiss of the Wasp" <me>
/hotbar copy rog 3 nin 3

I created my ninja 3 hotbar and copied it over to rogue since I have hotbars in the rogue class that will never be used anymore. Only difference is one of the buttons on bar 2 is the kiss of the wasp macro and the same position on bar 3 is the kiss of the viper macro.

I never would have thought to use Classes as hotbar mules. You, sir, are a genius.

While I won't argue that he's got a clever method for rotating hotbars to work around the lack of a macro assigning command (I use a similar method myself on WAR and DRK), it doesn't lessen the fact that having the option to simply place a macro from our macro menu directly into the hotbar via a command would be incredibly useful and that it's bizarre that we can't, especially considering we can put basically anything else on the hotbar you can think of using similar text commands. It's a functionality that feels conspicuously 'artificially absent'.
