    This macro and OCD don't mix

    I've been playing the DoL classes recently, and for their stealth skills I wanted a macro which activated stealth and then activates sprint to make me move a little faster. For the Botanist class this was the macro I created:

    Stealth (Botanist)

    /macroicon "Stealth"
    /ac "stealth" <me>
    /wait 2
    /ac "sprint" <me>

    This macro makes the skill have the correct icon in the hotbar.



    For the Miner class I used the same macro, just with a different name.

    Stealth (Miner)

    /macroicon "Stealth"
    /ac "stealth" <me>
    /wait 2
    /ac "sprint" <me>

    But this macro does not give me the icon I need for the hotbar, it stays the default.



    I'm assuming that even though the same command activates the skill on both classes, a different name is needed to distinguish between the icons, but what could it be? Anybody have an idea?

    It still think it's the Botany version of stealth. I just played around with it and the game wont let you use an icon with the /macroicon command that isn't from your currently equipped class. Kind of a strange behaviour considering the icons don't magically disappear from your computer just because you changed classes. Even does it with skills that are unique to a class. I could at least understand confusion over an ability that exists on multiple clases with different icons for each, but it won't even show the Blood for Blood icon when tied to a macro if I'm not on DRG (Dropped the macro into a shared hot bar)

    Ah that's a shame, I would have liked it to be the right icon but I guess I'll just have to choose one from the list. Thanks for answering.
