I'm having trouble with my macros for Druid. Things were working fine until I got Cat Form, and now a bunch of my macros don't work.
I have the below 2 macros for Bear Form and Cat Form:
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form or Tree of Life
/cast [nostance] Bear Form
/stopcasting
/cast Bear Form
/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form or Tree of Life
/cast [nostance] Cat Form
/stopcasting
/cast Cat Form
Bear Form works fine, and I can go directly to Cat Form without any issues.
Cat Form works fine when going from no form, but when I try to go to Bear Form from Cat I get "you are in shapeshift form" error.
Similarly, I have a Rejuv macro which should exit form and cast Rejuv on me within 1 GCD.
#showtooltip Rejuvenation
/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form;
/cast Rejuvenation
Again, this worked fine in Bear form, but doesn't work in Cat...it's really annoying me and I don't know what's wrong.
Can anyone please help me? I'm trying to learn macros as best I can but I don't see what's wrong here
I don't know what you're doing wrong. I am working on my own Druid macros right now too, just started learning late last night. I am going to try the macros you posted and try for myself.
In the meantime, have you seen this resource over at the blizzard forums? I haven't read it all yet but it seems like a pretty comprehensive compendium of knowledge on macros in general. It might have some tips for you.

I think your form numbers might be wrong. According to Wowpedia, Cat Form is stance 2. Travel Form is stance 3.
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Form
I don't know if the numbers from that link are different from what is used in classic. But based on what you're seeing, I think it's probably accurate.
I think your macro is trying to shift out of Cat Form while in Travel Form. It currently is doing this:
Code: Select all
/cancelaura [stance:3] Cat FormWhat if you changed it to this?
Code: Select all
/cancelaura [stance:2] Cat Form-

You absolute legend. I don't have Aquatic form yet, so removing Aquatic Form and changing the stance number worked perfectly for me.Pippina wrote: ↑4 years agoI think your form numbers might be wrong. According to Wowpedia, Cat Form is stance 2. Travel Form is stance 3.

I think changing the stance number from 3 to 2 might fix it for you. But I'm having a really hard time pinning down what number corresponds to what form, seems like maybe these have changed from patch to patch and information is kind of all over the place.Code: Select all
/cancelaura [stance:2] Cat Form
My new macros:
/cancelaura [stance:2] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Tree of Life
/cast [nostance] Bear Form
/stopcasting
/cast Bear Form
(This is probably incorrect for Travel Form as i don't have it yet, it's likely stance 3)
/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Tree of Life
/cast [nostance] Cat Form
/stopcasting
/cast Cat Form
#showtooltip Rejuvenation
/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Tree of Life; [stance:2] Cat Form
/cancelaura
/cast Rejuvenation
Thank you!!
Lets keep this thread up for any other druid macro questions. I really want to learn it in-depth and get to proper grips with it.
/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted]
/cast Rejuvenation(Rank 3)
This is what I use for all spells mostly that I cant cast in form.
It cancels form and uses heal. Can switchout Rejuv for Regrowth or Healing touch for instance
Ten Storms EU Alliance
Finnigan - Dwarf Hunter Lvl 30
Portalmaster - Gnome Mage Lvl 19
Shaelur - Dwarf Paladin Lvl 22
Shaelus - Night Elf Druid Lvl 50
Alright man, now that I've had some time to settle into a druid and experiment with macros for the first time, I have some more input for you.bobbajobb wrote: ↑4 years agoI have the below 2 macros for Bear Form and Cat Form:

As with all things script and code related, there's always going to be a bunch of different ways to achieve the same result. In this case, I think you're going about your script the hard way. You don't need to have a chain of conditional statements to check for every single form and then to cancel specific forms based on those conditional statement checks. The more simple a macro is, the less can go wrong with it.
This is what I did instead:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cancelform
/cast bear formCode: Select all
#showtooltip
/cancelform
/cast cat formAlso remember that macros have a 255 character limit, so it is a good habit to use the least amount of characters possible in case you start adding on to your macros later.
This script can also be simplified. This is what I came up with to the same result:Erik wrote: ↑4 years ago/cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted]
/cast Rejuvenation(Rank 3)

Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cancelform
/cast RejuvenationI don't have the /cancelaua [mounted] line in mine because I don't have a mount to test with yet so I just didn't insert it. But the first line to cancel the form can be condensed to a single /cancelform command.
Also, the line /cast Rejuvenation(Rank 3) can be replaced with /cast Rejuvenation. By default, the macro will cast the highest rank of a spell. The only time you need to specify a rank is if you are trying to downrank. To that end, it's probably safer to hard code the spell rank into your code if it's supposed to use the latest rank. Otherwise you gotta remember to keep it up to date over time.
Do you have trouble that after reshift talent "Predatory Strikes" stops working?
I use macro like that:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cancelform
/cast !Cat Form
