Thread: Can Gearsets be macro'd?

What's wrong with the icons?

This sounds like the best thing ever....

Nothing really. it's just that I find them a little plain compared to the ability icons (and the ability to use them as macro icons)

Well the anser is in SongJoohee's post, but there are some flaws and tradeoffs (Namely that PvP icons or icons from another class are perceptually darkened unless you go to Frontlines/Wolves' Den or change classes, respectively) I still wish there was a subcomand that uses the icon without their respective cooldown effects or MP/TP/HP costs

I used to have a Flare macro like that and it annoyed me because it was perpetually lit up (even when some of the abilities used in the macro were on CD).

Yes i did. I find the ability icons more interesting than the generic macros ones (and in Tri-Disaster's case way more fitting for a macro using all three Black Mage elemental spells)
