Hey All - I’m new to druid - but it’s been a tougher class to learn. What are some of your tips/tricks to making it seem more smooth and easy to work with? I made a macro to condense a couple of hotkeys, but still feel like I’m flailing around.
In particular shifting - I can’t seem to find comfortable hotkeys that aren’t perfect for spells to make shifting feel smoother/better/easy to access.
Thanks all!
I use mouse wheel for shifting. For me, mouse up is bear. Middle mouse click is kitty. Mouse wheel down is travel.
This will sound stupid…but…moving the mini map zoom? LOL
I completely unbind those. I use them so infrequently that I can just click the plus and minus on the minimap when I care. I want minimap zoomed out as much as possible like 99.9% of the time anyway.
that’s a fair point as well. Seems like the most logical way to power shift as a druid without having to panic mash buttons.
You are 60 and yet “new to druid”? This doesn’t make sense.
I use macros on shift macro abilites i need to use quickly. so all my cast spells will have a /cancelform to avoid any extra button presses
examples macros while in animal form:
/cancelform
/cast spell
otherwise i have a /cancelform macro on my shift-mousewheel
I use a bunch of various macros. I’ll share them here… 
Generic cancelform macro (I bind this to shift+g)
/cancelform
/dismount
Travel Form… makes it kinda like retail in that it will do the right form if you’re swimming or on land.
#showtooltip
/cancelform
/cast [swimming] !Aquatic Form; [outdoors] !Travel Form
Cat
#showtooltip Cat Form
/cancelform
/cast [modifier:alt] Cat Form; !Cat Form

Faerie Fire

Combine Prowl, Pounce, and Rake into a single button
#showtooltip

Combine Ravage and Shred into a single button

/cast [stealth] Ravage; [nostealth] Shred
I think that’s the bulk of them. I have a few more, but they’re for things like moonfire or rejuv to do max rank with the normal press and some other rank with an alt-press. What’s fun is that I’ve had a lot of these kicking around since Vanilla, just sitting on my original Druid. When Classic came out, I was able to dust these off again 
I use a mouse with two extra buttons that are bound to bear and cat. Even without spending a ton of money on a gaming mouse with a fleet of extra buttons, there are generic ones for under $30-40 with an extra couple of buttons that really help a ton.
I did make those, I noticed if you don’t specify a rank it does max rank - so my bars auto updated with new spell ranks. It was pretty great LOL
THESE ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much!
