- You can delay running of the next macro command by using the /delay [sec.] command.
- If you use items/ skill which have cooldown, there's ll be animation on the macro icon showing the time until the next usage. 60 sec. before the end of skill cooldown used in the macro, you'll the the times on the macro icon showing the remaining seconds. If several items/skill are used in a macro, then by default the item/skill with the biggest cooldown time is shown.
