A click macro should not impact your frames per second.

It is essentially telling the game to press several castsequences at once.
Without actually having each on their own key.
But even if you were to keybind each castsequence to 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, pressing the five buttons at once should not impact your FPS, more so then pushing each spell one after the other without a click.

it was kinda a dumb thing I guess blizzard dont like the Tips you give yourself in the macro :P if you try that macro there and keep pressing it it seams asif it is trying to read the //macro2 as something so removed that then it was all good!

//Macro2 - Insect Swarm No No!!
/castsequence reset=target Insect Swarm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Could always use #showtooltip NameOfSpell.

Could always use #showtooltip NameOfSpell.

And since saving space is usually important, it is enough with #show NameOfSpell

#show Gets you the Icon.
#showtooltip Gets you the Icon and a Mouse-over tooltip.

Depends on what you want.

If it's an item you have or a spell your class has at your current level... you can display whatever you want.

#show Elemental Mastery
/cast Lava Burst

Ah, thanks for that clarification, thought #show was just a short way to write #showttooltip, and was wondering why some of my macros didn't actually show the spell's tooltip :p
Must have picked it up from a thread here at some point.
Guess I'll need to check if my macros have room for the full name then.
