Anyone know of a tooltip macro for displaying ability text/cool downs? Hoping for something like #showtooltip from wow.

I believe the /macroicon did that but I, obviously, can't double check right now

how do we make custom emotes ?

Great information Thanks

It is infact /macroicon
But it will only show the icon and the cooldown/combo effects on the hotbar, it doesn't shows the tooltip itself.
It must also be the first line of a macro, as well. Made extensive use of that on Arcanist, making a micro-hotbar for buffing/healing my pet without hunting for it

Thank you RavinousKurohi and Skies! This will be very helpful.

Is there a way to make a macro to assist the marked targets?

/ta <mark1> (targets the creature marked as #1, works for 2, 3, etc.)

Ok so then will this work to say if I sleep an enemy using chained macro?

/mk attack3 <t>
/ac "Sleep" <t>
/p I'm sleeping number 3! Please don't attack it.

Yes it would, Neko!
Although there are a few better icons to use than the attack ones (there's a bind and an X one).

Just to note, there ARE placeholders (stuff like <t>) to target specific icons regardless of where they are. <attack1> will target whoever has the Attack #1 icon whereas... <bind1> was it? will attack whoever has the Chain #1 icon

depends how complex you want them to be. a simple one would be -

/clap motion
/me applauds your stupidity

which results in me clapping and the text: Rena Yuki applauds your stupidity
