I was wondering if its possible to get a macro that will automatically put me in boomkin form if I cast an ability when I was previously in travel form if that makes sense? I have the fast swap druid macro for all the forms but was wondering if I could do one for casts ability = boomkin form etc? idk
Yes you can. Not at my computer ATM but can share it later if no one else does.
Curious about this, i want to be an optimally druid too.
I’m pretty sure you can’t unless it’s already baked into the ability itself because it takes a gcd to go into boomkin form.
Yes it does take GCD but there are stance macros for this.
It is possible to use the /castsequence command to line up spells/abilities/forms in an order, but this is generally not a recommended play style. Moreover, I don’t think it is what you are looking for.
Changing into Moonkin form – into any form, for that matter – eats up a GCD. The only exception are spells that specifically say that they change your form as part of the spell. Prowl is a good example: you can cast Prowl from any form and will, in a single GCD, change to cat form AND go into stealth. They will usually say something in the tooltip like “Activates Cat Form.”
But if you’re looking for something where you can cast Moonfire in Travel Form and, while doing so, also switch to Moonkin Form, I believe you’re out of luck. Those spells are both tied to the GCD, meaning you have to cast them in order, one after another.
I use this on my Balance druid. You can change the form to whatever you need and change the spell as needed. I am forever forgetting to put myself back in forms and I put something similar on my openers.
/cast [spec:1,noform]Moonkin Form;Starfire
cast moonkin form if not in moonkin else it cast starfire.
for feral it works like the one below where it cast cat form if not in cat form and if you are it cast the ability/spell
/cast [nomod,noform:2] Cat Form(Shapeshift);put spell here
if you add a spec modifier it goes as follows
spec:1 is balance
spec:2 is feral
spec:3 is guardian
spec:4 is resoration
