    So you want a macro that does /micon "Step1", /a "Step1", changes /micon to "Step2", waits to be activated again at which point it will perform /a "Step2", and so on, going back to Step1 when it reaches the end of the list.
    I don't like the implications this functionality has for non-combo actions.

    As a Summoner, I know I'd make a macro using this command to throw out Bio2, then Miasma, then Bio, then Contagion, then Shadowflare. This reduces my class to about 5 buttons if I make a couple more cycle macros. I don't want this.

    Monk? A nightmare. What about all the other stance-combo abilities monk uses? What happens when you use one and now need to mash your finisher twice in order to hit it on time? What if you hit it 3 times and now your hot bar is no longer in sync with where you are in the combo?

    Then don't use it. I'm requesting a macro option and come to think about it, my original post makes no mention about that. Guess I'll change that now then.
