I need help to create a macro for Mangle and Tiger's fury for my kitty form but I cant manage to find the 'code name' for Mangle.

I have tried so far:
/cast Mangle
/cast Mangle(Cat) (also as 'cat')
/cast Mangle (Cat) (also as 'cat')

and obviously /cast Tiger's fury (this one works)

And no luck so far, :( and I suck at keeping tabs on my tigers fury thats why i want a macro for it

Aside from the fact that tying TF into Mangle is a bad idea the best way to make a Mangle macro is to; get into macro editor, open spell book, shift click the spell, delete the rank info. That is what the spell is called in macroland.

Works like magic.

1) Download Badkitty .
2) Set it up
3) ????
4) Profit

Having TF triggering with Mangle is bad for numerous reasons.

1) You will TF when you first Mangle to start your rotation thus starting off without a key cooldown.
2) You will likely be hitting TF when >35 energy which is a no no.
3) If you TF during Berserk Mangle wont go off since TF needs to be first in the macro it will error and you can't TF during Berserk.

Using TF in any sort of macro is bad. You need to control its usage for it to work optimally. Honestly cast sequence or casting of 2 spells one time for ferals is just bad.

I use a Mangle/Swipe conditional, a FB/Maim conditional and a SR/Rip conditional. That is it. Shift for one option, no modifier the other.

Just download Badkitty. Problem solved.

Mangle is actually kinda goofy to macro. You have to put

Mangle (Bear)()

or

Mangle (Cat)()

Without the second set of parentheses, it won't work. And yeah, binding Tiger's Fury to, well, anything is bad.

edit: Of course, you can always just open the macro window and your spellbook and shift+click a spell to add it to any macro, like Horse said.

The reason is because Mangle has a parenthetical in its name. If you don't have the () afterward the macro parses that as the intended rank, and things break. Faerie Fire (Feral) has (had? They may have changed the name of that one) the same issue.
