    Macro tooltip?

    I've just come back to the game after long time away and am working on getting my healers setup. I am setting up mouse-over macros for my heals and noticed I can't get a tool-tip description on the macros. I've searched the web see some claiming that using /macroicon "spell name" gives the tool-tip, however it's not working for me. Below is an example of one my macros. Any help would be appreciated.

    /macroicon "Benefic"
    /macroerror off
    /ac "Benefic" <mo>
    /ac "Benefic" <t>
    /ac "Benefic" <me>

    Still no tool-tip. All it shows is the name of the spell and the keybind in [].

    The micon only allows for you do see the cd/gcd CD on it, there's never been a way to get tool tips.

    Also as a side note, there's no guarantee the macro will execute each line in succession. That's why we usually tell people to stick to one action line per macro.
    For example, your macro can (and will) heal you even if you have a healable target or are hovering your mouse over a target.
