Macro for Bear->rejuv-> back to bear?Follow

#1 Dec 15 2007 at 7:23 AM Rating: Decent
Hey guys, I looked through thr sticky trying to find this macro but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. And unfortunately, I am seriously inept about macros and don't know how to go about adjusting the ones that they put up there for what I am trying to do.

I am looking for a macro that while I am in bear form will allow me to shift out, cast rejuv on myself, and then shift back into bear form all in one button. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Can't do.

It's possible to shift out, drink a potion, and shift back in just because the potion does not trigger the global cooldown. Rejuv does trigger it, though.

So basically you'd shift out, cast Rejuv instantly (most likely before you even see yourself out of Bear form) but then you'd get a message that your ability (Bear form) isn't ready yet, as it is still on the GCD. So you're gonna have to soak hits for 1.5 seconds.

Neither Healthstones nor Charged Crystal Foci kick in the GCD either, so for some SERIOUS instantaneous self-healing:

#show
/cancelform
/use Super Healing Potion
/use Charged Crystal Focus
/use Master Healthstone
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form [nostance,modifier:shift] Cat Form

My other new favorite simple little macros I just got working right are these:

AnyBuff
One button for all buffs: MotW unmodified, Thorns with shift, OoC with alt, and Gift of the Wild with control. If you give it the "?" icon it even shows you the current buff's icon in real-time as you press the various modifiers.

/cast [nomodifier] Mark of the Wild; [modifier:shift] Thorns; [modifier:alt] Omen of Clarity; [modifier:ctrl] Gift of the Wild

AnyTrink
And another single button for using both of my combat trinkets in cat or bear form. Can't fit my caster/healing trinkets because of the 255 char cap. :(
/cast [stance:1,nomodifier] Adamantine Figurine; [stance:1,modifier:shift] Charm of Alacrity
/cast [stance:3,nomodifier] Bladefist's Breadth; [stance:3,modifier:shift] Uniting Charm

FaerieFire
Finally got around to doing one for FF in caster or Feral FF in bear or cat, too.
/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; [stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral); [stance:3] Faerie Fire (Feral)

It is true what above posters have said about instantaneous macros and GCD,
tho OP didn't mention instantaneous so just in case you want a spammabla macro
that does what you mentioned after GCD from rejuv is up, you could try something
like this:

/cancelform [stance:1]
/castsequence reset=3 [nostance] Rejuvenation (Rank ##), [nostance] Dire Bear Form

or something... might have to use reset=2 and ## must be replaced with your rank
of Rejuv.

Good point...big diff between "one button" and "in one click." :)

BTW, you only need to include (Rank ##) if you want to specify a rank other than your max. Without any rank specified it just applies your highest rank. Saves valuable characters to stay under the 255 cap in longer macros.

I don't know if its just me but i can't seem to get this to work. The caster part works fine but the feral, cat and bear, dose not want to work. Any ideas?

My bad. I forgot that Faerie Fire (Feral) has some issue where you need to put the rank, unlike most abilities where it'll just use the max rank.

Here's the ticket:
/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; [stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral)(Rank 5); [stance:3] Faerie Fire (Feral)(Rank 5)

You don't actually have to specify the rank, but any abilities with parentheses in them need to have the 'rank' parentheses after them...

/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; [stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3] Faerie Fire (Feral)()

The above macro will work and you don't have to edit it when you learn a new rank of FFF.

Is cancelform necessary? Since patch 2.3 we automatically shift back to caster when we try to cast something. Does that not work the same with macros?
#11 Dec 17 2007 at 1:18 PM Rating: Decent
Cancelform isn't necessary for spells, but it is needed in cases where you would attempt to use an item, such as a healing potion.

Re: your AnyTrink macro, are you using a mod like Outfitter to switch trinkets when you switch forms? Or can you use a non-equipped trinket if you identify it by name rather than slot?

I'm pretty sure it must be the former, since equipping a trinket triggers a short cooldown on it, but I just wanted to check in case I've missed something :)

As far as that trinket slot macro goes, pretty sure you can use something like Use trinketslot1 rather than the name so that might allow you to use it for your healing trinkets as well in a simple macro.

Not sure about the exact syntax though sorry.

Outfitter FTW. : )

Good idea, but I hit a dead end pretty quickly. I did some googling and only found dated references to things like "/script UseInventoryItem(13)" but I think Blizz disallowed scripting at some point because A) I think I remember reading about that back before I knew what macros were, and B) I'm getting an error message: "A macro script has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI."

I can confirm that Trinkets are items 13 and 14, because "#show 13" does display the icon of trinket #1. I tried simple things like "/cast InventoryItem(13)" with no luck.

/use 13

Will use the item in character slot 13 (upper trinket slot). /use 14 will do the same for the lower trinket slot.

LOL, damn, I hadn't gone simple ENOUGH!

So the simple macro "/cast [nomodifier]13; [modifier:shift] 14" gives you one button access to all yer trinkets. Coolio.

Thanks, Zip. : )

Yeah, I'd been checking his guide and frankly was hoping he'd see me struggling over here in the shallow end of the macro pool, but the only trinket stuff in there was about calling them by name. I'd recommend adding this little gem of info, Zip.
