World of Warcraft macro help

[slag]

Why doesn't this macro work correctly? It all works except feral charge

If i change th elast line to just /cast Cat Form, feral charge works, however, it doesn't switch to cat form

/cancelform [nostance:1]
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form; [stance:1] Feral Charge
/cancelform
/cast [nostance] Cat Form; [stance:3]

no idea dont play a druid

however wowwiki has a huge list of great Warlock Macros and i woudl assume that they have a list of druid ones also

I fiddled with /cancelform in macros on my druid alt for 10 minutes or so, couldn't get it working. I copied the exact macro from a stickied thread in the UI forum, so perhaps it was nerfed? Tried this maybe... 4 months ago or so.

Could it have something to do with the changes in 2.3 that will pull a druid out of a shapeshift to cast? I'm not too good at these macros so I can't look at it to spot anything wrong.

Couple different things going on here. Also, you don't actually need to use [nostance] with the /cancelform.

The big thing that's really holding you back, though, is the global cooldown. The only way you can work a GCD into a macro post-2.0 is through a /castsequence macro, and that may be a little tricky with the order of things you're talking about here because you're combining something that's off the GCD (Feral Charge) with something that's on the GCD. If an ability fails because of the GCD, the game will simply stop the macro right there and not follow any commands later. This is why old macros like

/cast Mortal Strike
/cast Heroic Strike

don't work anymore. If the first choice ability isn't available, it simply stops doing the macro.

Most likely, you'll have to use two keys for that combination of effects: one macro for Dire Bear/Feral Charge, then another to switch to cat while you're there. Basically, you can combine either Dire Bear and Feral Charge OR Feral Charge and Cat Form, but not all three.

Something like:

/cancelform
/cast Dire Bear
/cast Feral Charge

and then use a separate macro for

/cancelform
/cast Cat Form

Or you can set up a macro for when you're already in bear form:

/cast Feral Charge
/cancelform
/cast Cat Form

That last one is actually pretty nifty because it has you doing the actual Feral Charge while you're in Cat Form. Looks pretty cool.
