    Macro Icon Change with Skill?

    Is it possible when using a macro to change your skill icon like how it does in pvp?
    Example:

    Fast blade
    Savage Blade
    Blade of Halone

    To get it to change to the icon of each skill as it goes off?

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure if it can be done with PVP actions, but with regular actions:
    /macroicon "skill name"
    /ac "action" <t>

    The <t> is for your target since you're using target actions.

    Not what I mean, I mean can I get the icon to change, when using the macro?

    like.

    /macroicon "Fast Blade"
    /action "Fast Blade" <target>
    /wait 3
    /macroicon "Savage Blade"
    /action "Savage Blade" <target>
    /wait 3
    /macroicon "Rage of Halone"
    /action "Rage of Halone"

    for example..

    Like when you use fast blade in pvp, the icon changes to savage blade. is it possible to do that?

    Oh. I have no idea if that's possible but it's NEVER suggested that you macro a rotation. Even just a chat>action macro (I'm using Hallowed Ground! *uses Hallowed Ground*) is unreliable due to latency.

    There's a really cumbersome way to do it, but you need to reserve several entire hotbars to storing each intermediate layout. Basically, you'd have three different macros, each of which performs one of the skills and then copies another hotbar to your main one. That next hotbar will have a similar macro in the same position, but it will perform a different skill and then replace your hotbar with a third.

    If you were using Paladin's first hotbar, with layouts stored on Gladiator's 8th, 9th, and 10th hotbars, some of the macros could look like:

    /macroicon "Fast Blade"
    /action "Fast Blade" <target>
    /hotbar copy GLD 9 PLD 1

    and

    /macroicon "Savage Blade"
    /action "Savage Blade" <target>
    /hotbar copy GLD 10 PLD 1

    and

    /macroicon "Rage of Halone"
    /action "Rage of Halone" <target>
    /hotbar copy GLD 8 PLD 1

    But then you'd need to sort out how to manage Riot Blade with Goring Blade or Royal Authority. (It should be possible to come up with such a pattern. Quite a while ago, I worked out how to fit five Ninja skills onto two slots with all combos available. Wasn't worth actually using it, though.)

    So, generally too limited to be worth the hassle, but it is sort of possible. Besides, by having main actions in a macro, you'd be losing out on the ability to queue actions in advance.
