How to see CDs on a macro???

[chiroguy]

So I'm sorta new to macros, but learning to love adding skills together. One question I have is, when I make a macro that combines two skills, say Chimera Shot and Silencing Shot (as Silencing Shot has no GCD), I no longer see the cooldown for Chimera Shot on the macro button.

How do you guys solve this problem? I wanna know when the CD is up so I can fire Chimera again.

#showtooltip Chimera Shot
/cast !auto shot
/cast Chimera Shot
/cast !silencing shot

so the "!" on the other skills makes it so you can see the CD for Chimera?

no, it is the
#showtooltip Chimera Shot
on the first line which force the macro to use that spell as icon

My question was not about seeing the BUTTON for Chimera on the macro, but rather for seeing the COOLDOWN on the button. Any ideas?

To make it clear:
- by default, wotlk client does NOT display cooldowns on action bar buttons as numbers, you need an addon for that, such as CooldownCount
- in order for you to make a macro and see a certain ability cd on the bar slot you put it on, you need to use either #show Spell Name or #showtooltip Spell Name - first one will only show the macro's name when you mouse over it, the second one will display the assigned spell's tooltip, but they will both display the spell's icon and cooldown.

In this particular example, if you make the macro with #show(tooltip) Silencing Shot, you won't be able to see Chimera Shot cooldown.
