I realize that this is probably a prio 3 issue, but an annoying one for sure: is there a smart way to find icons for macros?
I spend considerable time searching for a spell icon for macros (especially for the main toon), it seems the in game icon list has some vague sorting, but not really.
Is there a way to find icons based on spell id?
This does not answer your question, but I always use the first icon thats a red question mark. This icon will dynamically change based upon what skill, ability, or item you are using. So if you have 3 spells in a cast sequence the icon will change to whatever spell is being cast. It works well for the paladin and shaman rotations etc.
that is amazing, didn't know this feature - thank you !!Quote:

just have the following on the first line of your macro
#showtooltip
This will show the icon of whatever spell is active.
What above posters said pretty much. #showtooltip does the trick.
If you still want to find an icon in the wow tab LargerIconSelection makes that a lot easier. Makes the window a lot bigger.

I have keys that have no spell for the main toon, but the slaves have a spell associated. #showtooltip only works for spells that the toon knows, so I will use the LargerIconSelection for easing the search.
#show
This will display the correct icon, assuming you use the red question mark.
You can force it to display any spell/ability which your class/race gets, or any item your toon possesses.
It does not give you a mouse-over tooltip.
You can #show Elemental Mastery, and /cast Lava Burst, for example.
#showtooltip
This is as the above, except you can mouse over the icon for the tooltip.
