auto attack after cast questionFollow
ok sry let me try this again
mage is eating/drinking and im trying to sneak up on him in ghost wolf form cause im far away
i cast frost shock THEN i have to press my auto attack button
i want to eliminate having to press my auto attack button after casting frost shock
so what what its going to look like is
mage eating/drinking
running up in ghost wolf
cast frost shock and start auto attack right away with out having to press my auto attack button
is that better?

Make a macro with the following code:
#showtooltip
/cast Frostsock
/startattack
#showtooltip
/cast Frostsock
/startattack
Or instead of using an auto attack button, just hit your frost shock key and right click on them? Or right click, run up and hit frost shock then chase em down. But you do know that your not really stealthed in wolf form right?
i know im not stealth its just if they rnt paying attention enough to notice its still a "surprise" attack
Soul's method works best. If you plan on attacking something then right click on it. Form there you can do anything.
This is what I have at the start of ALL my offensive ability macros;
/dismount
/cancelaura Ghost Wolf
/target [target=mouseover,harm,nodead]
/targetenemy [noexists]
/startattack [harm]
/use (enter name of ability)
Spam this and pretty much the rest will take care of itself. Key bind the macro(s) to something you can get to easy (ex: "Q", "E", middle mouse,etc.)
/dismount
/cancelaura Ghost Wolf
/target [target=mouseover,harm,nodead]
/targetenemy [noexists]
/startattack [harm]
/use (enter name of ability)

what does the nodead mean? harm=hostile mouseover=if mouse is hovering over target and noexist?
nodead means you won't target a target that is already dead
Mouseover means it will target what your mouse icon is currently on when you press the macro
Harm is basically enemy targets
noexists means no current target is selected
So in a nutshell the macro will the following when activated;
Dismount you from a mount IF your mounted OR take you out of Ghost wolf IF your in Ghost wolf.
Select the enemy target your mouse icon is currently over and target it IF the target is actually a enemy AND is NOT a dead enemy body on the ground.
IF you did NOT have a enemy target under your mouse icon WHEN you pressed this macro, it will target the nearest enemy standing...assuming your in range to target anything.
Once you have aquired a target (either by mouseover or otherwise) it will put you into attack mode (aka "right clicked"), and launch the name of the ability that you inputted below the startattack line (ex: lightning bolt, Chain Lightning, Frost Shock, etc)
All this is done in ONE stroke of the macro!
Pretty nifty if you think about it. Saves you a bunch of time trying to fumble around the screen unclicking a mount, hitting a seperate attack button, finding the spell you want, etc...
Thus all my LB, CL, ES, SS spells ALL have at least thoughs few lines in the macro, granted I do have more elaborate macro structures to make more things even easier...but thats my little gamer secret.
You should be studying www.wowwiki.com for macro creation and game mechanics, most of your concerns should be answered there.

You can drop the nodead, harm includes it by default.
You can also take away the dismount and cancelaura as casting a spell will automatically dismount you or take you out of ghost wolf, and you can start autoattack while in ghost wolf.
