Macro Help (solved)

I’ve recently started using macros for my druids abilities (before it was action bar paging) and its forms.

I’ve got a macro that isn’t working right, it works with other abilities just not this one, in fact the entire macro is just broken.

Broken Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [noform] Entangling Roots
/cast [form:1] Bash
/cast [form:3]
/cast [form:4]
/cast [form:5] Entangling Roots
/cast [stealth] Pounce; [nostealth] Rake

I’ve got another macro which is pretty much the same, outside of the abilities used and it works perfectly fine…

Working Macro

#showtooltip
/cast [noform] Starfire
/cast [form:1] Maul
/cast [form:5] Starfire
/cast [stealth] Ravage; [nostealth] Shred
/startattack
/cast Starfire

Now the issue is that no matter what form I’m in it only wants to cast Entangling Roots. This is the only macro that’s broken and I’ve made 4 other macros that have the same setup and work perfectly fine. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

It’s fine having those empty forms, it’s broken without them too.

And for reference

[noform] = Human
[form:1] = Bear
[form:3] = Cat
[form:4] = Tree
[form:5] = Moonkin

You should fill out the form 3 & 4 lines. Guessing that’s where the first macro is screwing up. I don’t see anything wrong with it otherwise.

Having those empty forms doesn’t mess with it but I did try to fill it out and it’s the same, only Entangling Roots is available.

I’ve tried to remove them too but to no avail, form 3 doesn’t even need to be there as pounce and rake at the bottom are the cat abilities (it won’t work if it isn’t like that) and I can’t even get into tree form since my Druid is a Balance Druid.

This macro is moreso for WotLK than it is TBC but I can see this issue persisting in WotLK.

It really just feels like Entangling Roots is bugged or something.

EDIT: Okay yeah I’m just dumb, i didnt drag it to my bars. guess with me making so many macros im bound to forget one of them.

thanks for the help.

Okay. First off, the listing of forms is in order on the stance bar.
1 Bear
2 Aqua
3 Cat
4 Travel
5 Tree or Moonkin if spec, otherwise Flight
6 Flight

#showtooltip
/cast [form:1] Bash; [form:3,stealth] Pounce; [form:3] Rake; Entangling Roots

#showtooltip
/cast [form:1] Maul; [form:3,stealth] Ravage; [form:3] Shred; Starfire
/startattack [form:1/3,nostealth]

I think these are basically what you’re going for, just cleaner and shorter (255 character limit). Combined into one cast line and it will check each condition or move down the line, rather than attempting everything. Because on the first match that’s your cast and it’s done. Your Shred was being attempted to cast at all times.

Heh never knew macros on druid could be that much extended. Interesting to know, to be honest.
