Enough is enough, thread reported for cleanup of flamers. Might be a silly, bad, pathetic guide, I don't care what you think, don't flame.
Thread reported and cleanup ahead.

Not thrown at your guide, just overall, what people think about others guides. I might think maclone suck balls, but I don't flame him.

Now, I know my post won't mean anything since it's my first post but this is what I think about this thread, without trying to flame it.

I think that this thread would have been made better if you did it as a guide on how to use macro's which is something that is considerably easy if you know what you're doing, but if you're fiddling around trying to get something done, it can be hard.

If you, instead of trying to show us how to be badass client side, showed us how to be badass using macro's, then this guide would be badass.

Example section of the thread:

Using a macro to cast multiple skills:

What you want to do is clear your key bindings of either alt 1 - 0 or ctrl 1 - 0. The reason why you're doing this is so you can cast your skills without having to change your hotkeys or move something around. You can also use shift 1 - 0 if you wanted to.

Now, go to your macro section in game by typing /m or /macro.

Once you finish doing that, create a new macro. I prefer setting the sprite to the ? because it automatically sets the picture to be the picture of the skill that's being cast or item used.

Now, set the name to be whatever you want, I prefer to have simple names consisting of a few letters to know what skill I'm using. (I'm a mage so F/F for Fireball/Frostbolt)

Once you're done with that you're going to type this inside the macro.

#showtooltip [modifier:x] y; z
/cast [modifier:x] y;z

Replace X with the key that you reset (Ctrl, Alt, or Shift).
Replace Y with the skill that you want to be shown when you press the skill you reset (X).
Replace Z with the skill you want defaulted on the bar so you immediately press the button and it will cast.

This is mainly used for single bar fights, if you dislike addons like bartender and prefer to use hotkeys of 1 - 0. I suggest not using shift because using shift to swap through bars is an effective method.

Well that's why this is in the guides section and not exploits section. Guides section is meant for obvious things that many many people already know about.

To be honest, I was expecting something like creating folders in your data directory and putting a custom picture in place of what the spell would normally be. I did something like this to get rid of the spell fizzle sounds because they were annoying (I replaced them with 0 byte files)

#showtooltip [modifier:x] y; z
/cast [modifier:x] y;z

Sigh.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:x] y;z

Works.

Or just download Bartender and disable showing macro names.

[themaster]

lmao when i read the word 'legaly' i was interested, but later on i saw the post and i rofled so dam hard :P GJ !

[kanacali]

#showtooltip [modifier:x] y; z
/cast [modifier:x] y;z

Sigh.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:x] y;z

Works.

Oh okay, I didn't know that, I'm sorry.

But I'm not that good with macro's so that's why I was saying it should be implemented here as a section instead of it being a somewhat useless guide. Not saying that it will be useless to everyone.

Plus, it doesn't really make much of a difference your way or mine, it's just less typing one way or the other.

AND in the screenshot of the guys interface he has an addon (I don't know the name at the top of my head) which displays how much damage/mp regen/healing done the skill gets on average. So that kind of cancels out the names.
