Macro questions...

Greenie · 06-08-2006, 09:42 PM

Is there any way to choose the original spell icon for a macro? What I'm trying to do is name each of my different pets different things and keep the original icon. I'd also like to make a single master strike and self buff/pet buff icon that combines all the spells into a single button to avoid clutter.

Any suggestions?

I was always wondering this myself, but I don't believe it is possible. I just choose an icon from the macro icon list, and have all of my pet macro icons the same. I just know which one is which from the position in my hotbar, and repeated usage.

From what I remember, and I've been away for a few weeks now so I might be a bit fuzzy, you can only combine two (2) commands in a single macro. So it does save a little bit of space.

Correct.

There is a way to do this with Master Strikes, but you can't do it with pet buffs. Only two /useabilities per macro because it will cast one skill then skip the second, then que up the third.
