    Example:
    Code:
    /action 'Blood Bath' <me> <cd>
    /wait 2.6
    /action 'Raging Strikes' <me>
    Where adding the <cd> sets the Macro Icon to use that actions Cooldown time for it Cool down Animation.
    Just making a note - this one is actually already in:
    Code:
    /macroicon, /micon
    USAGE: /macroicon "action name"
    -> Displays the specified action's icon.  
       Can only be used once in the first line of a user macro.
    #2 Is a bit of a concern. While it would be nice to have a single hotkey for your whole combo, there are things that will break something like this quite easily, and would become quite unwieldly to try to "program" into a button.

    Example:
    Pugilist / Monk
    -> Say you miss one of the skills. The next skill will not activate, now you're stuck with a button that cannot be activated or shifted to the next attack that restarts the combo without providing the bonus you made the macro for.

    Marauder / Warrior
    -> You use overpower to grab hate from escaping monsters - combo is broken, thus breaking the combo and now making the next part of the combo fire off needlessly (I used to have a macro for this, found out in short order it became less useful as time went on since my ability to hold hate requires the combo to be activated - the first swing does not get the enmity bonus thus making restarting the combo constantly highly detrimental).

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
