I really like the updated macro system! It's great, I've been wishing for something like this for years. I still could wish for a /pause, but I understand the reasons that it doesn't exist.

I just have one small request... Can we get some more icons please? There's only about 29-30, which is just not that many when you need to have a distinct look for finding that emergency macro or if you have several assist type macros to use. If you could even just port in the icons from the spell books so we can use the icons we associate certain spells and abilities, that would be more than enough. I know VG has an insane amount of icons for their macros (probably too many, there are hundreds), so I don't think it is a huge thing to ask

If you drag your spell or ability over the icon area of the macro, it will take on the icon of that ability.

includes items as well.

what would be nice is if it not only show the shading of the recast of the first spell, but also the countdown timer for it.

One thing i'd personally love to see would the ability to swap gear inside combat be enabled again.

If i recall, it was set to 1 piece per 2 seconds because people were unequiping all their gear to avoid armor damage. Thats been resolved since there is a countdown on the armor thats been recently deequiped which causes it to still take damage.

If not removing the 2s requirement all together, at least add a limit of 2-3 items to be swapped before a timer is implemented. Would allow dual wield macros to work and the like.

Adding some sort of delay between items would be nice too, so its feasible to actual create equip item/use item macro's.

I do agree on this as sometimes it is necessary for me to switch gear and stance from offensive to defensive it something would happen to our tank and I would need to pick it up.

i think its bullshit that a macro such as

equip tribal helm
use tribal helm
equip doomseer helm


does not work....wtf is the point of being able to make a macro that can swap gear and use items if they DONT WORK

AH! very nice. I did not realize you could drag them there as well. Super! I agree withyou on the 2 sec delay as well. Pointless now since it still takes damage.

Another slightly annoying thing, the command /useabilityonplayer has been ninja changed so that it doesn't function when queued up. You can queue it, but it just casts the spell on your current target rather than the player you've macro'd. Same goes for when you put a name in the Use Ability box of the macro. Worked fine before GU33, seems to have changed now. :/

No more using Prismatic Chaos on a swashy

Are you saying that your "use tribal helm" portion didn't work?

I had success with the /use_equipped_item (slot number) command instead of the built in use item thing you could add (the one where you drag the item to the macro slot). Otherwise I was getting a "cannot use item from inventory" (or something similar) error.

I couldn't get it to re-equip the previous item though (was trying to switch in the tinkering FD item and back to the musicbox) as it would stop casting FD when the previous item was re-equiped. I was testing it out of combat though, so I didn't have to worry about in-combat equip timers, and it may work out differently for items with instant casts.
