    Scholar macro question

    Ok... so I use macros to change my eos/selene icons on my hotbar upon summoning.

    For eos this used to look like this:
    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Summon"
    /chotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" Eos 2 RAR
    /chotbar pet "Fey Covenant" Eos 2 RAL
    /chotbar pet "Fey Illumination" Eos 2 RAD
    /chotbar pet "Embrace Eos 1 RDR

    My issue is that Whispering Dawn never fires when I want it to. So I created a macro:
    /micon "Whispering Dawn" pet
    /pac "Steady"
    /pac "Guard"
    /pac "Whispering Dawn"

    My question is how do I get this macro to change into place like I used to do with the old /chotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" Eos 2 RAR line/if this is even possible?

    AFAIK it's not possible to place a macro hotkey into a macro. You can change hotbar setups in your macro with the macro hotkey in it, though.

    I understand completely what you're asking, as I've tried the same thing.

    That's the conclusion I had pretty much come to after trying about 10 different phrases for that line.

    It's kind of annoying and stupid. Now I need to set up a whole other bar just to get the same effect.

    I have all my faerie macros pull double duty, so my Whisperig Dawn macro also has Silent Dusk in it as well, for example. Doesn't show both icons, but Selene gets so little mileage in important content it doesn't bother me much. I also have a hotbar set up so I can see cool downs on stuff (I put a few of Selene's abilities on there).

    I don't like what it does to icons. I used to have it that way. I do have a CD hotbar for timing purposes.

    I'll just have to make entire other sets to copy into the place - annoying but the only work around for this.
