[Macro] Single button Cat Form / Prowl

Classes Druid
1 
#showtooltip
/use [form:0/1/3/4,btn:1]Cat Form;[form:2,btn:1]!Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,form:2,nostealth]Cat Form

Basically if you left click or press a keybind, it puts you into cat form if you’re not in cat form. If you’re in cat form, it puts you into stealth.
Right click once to cancel stealth
Right click again to cancel cat form

This version will shift straight into prowl from any form when the shift key is held.

#showtooltip
/use [form:2,btn:1][mod:shift]!Prowl;[form:0/1/3/4,btn:1]Cat Form
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,form:2,nostealth]Cat Form

This version will also pull you straight from prowl to caster form when right clicked with shift key held.

#showtooltip
/use [form:2,btn:1][mod:shift]!Prowl;[form:0/1/3/4,btn:1]Cat Form
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,nostealth][btn:2,mod:shift]Cat Form

Here’s yet another version… this one includes Shadowmeld, which will be cast when in Cat Form, and in combat.

#showtooltip
/use [form:2,btn:1,combat][btn:1,combat,mod:shift]!Shadowmeld
/use [form:2,btn:1][mod:shift]!Prowl;[form:0/1/3/4,btn:1]Cat Form
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,nostealth][btn:2,mod:shift]Cat Form

We could do;

/use [form:2,btn:1,combat,talent:5/3] 
[btn:1,combat,mod:shift,talent:5/3]Incarnation: King of the Jungle; 
[form:2,btn:1,combat][btn:1,combat,mod:shift]!Shadowmeld
/use [form:2,btn:1][mod:shift]!Prowl;[form:0/1/3/4,btn:1]Cat Form
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,nostealth][btn:2,mod:shift]Cat Form

This would check to see if the talent Incarnation: King of the Jungle is active, and use that instead of Shadowmeld, but unfortunately this wouldn’t work because of the 255 character limit in macros.

Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any suggestions.

The default UI already puts you straight into cat form and stealth if you hit prowl from any form.

Similarly, activating caster form only abilities while in cat form will drop you straight out of form unless you’ve set autounshift to 0

how are you looking to use these macros?

It’s in the title of the post… single button cat form/prowl

The idea is to get rid of one extra button on your action bars.

Simple enough right?

in that case - just drag prowl straight out of your spellbook!

Yeah, what Katjia said.

The game does that automatically. Just put Prowl on your action bar.

I also like:

#showtooltip
/cast !Prowl

It let’s you spam the prowl button without worrying about it cancelling prowl.

Edit: I forgot to add to what Katjia was saying about abilities bringing you out of stealth automatically. I use modifiers for my feral macros that let me use Rejuv, swiftmend etc when I want straight from cat form. Also if I select an ally or mouseover an ally it will automatically cast the corresponding caster spell without the modifier which saves on overal use of modifiers to save your wrists. Examples include:

Shred/Rejuv
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] Rejuvenation; [@mouseover, exists, nodead] Rejuvenation; [help, nodead] Rejuvenation; Shred

Mangle/Rejuv
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] Rejuvenation; [@mouseover, exists, nodead] Rejuvenation; [help, nodead] Rejuvenation; Mangle

Thanks Jinyara -

and for extra fun, if you’re building a similar macro for Regrowth but don’t want it to pop you out of form if your Pred Swiftness drops off before you cast it - wrap the macro in /console autounshift commands

#showtooltip
/console autounshift 0
/cast [mod:alt,@player] Regrowth; [@mouseover, exists, nodead, help] Regrowth; [help, nodead] Regrowth; Shred
/console autounshift 1

(would also add a [help] to the mouseover section!)

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not…

This is two abilities in one button… Prowl, and Cat form Instead of having Prowl and Cat form taking up two separate action bar slots, you can have one.

I forgot that [noform] was a thing… so I shortened it up a bit.

#showtooltip
/use [form:2,btn:1,combat][btn:1,combat,mod:shift]!Shadowmeld
/use [form:2,btn:1][mod:shift]!Prowl;[noform:2,btn:1]Cat Form
/cancelaura [btn:2,stealth]Prowl
/cancelaura [btn:2,nostealth][btn:2,mod:shift]Cat Form

This also works better if you have the Stag Form and Treant Form Tomes

lol, just a little comprehension difficulty on my part! Sorry Killay, now I’m with you - it seems to work quite nicely as a multi-purpose button.

give or take shadowmeld

Thanks!

No worries… it’s been 8 years since I played my druid. Just getting back into things, this is the first macro I’ve come up with so far.

Here’s one that combines Moonkin Form with Flap

#showtooltip
/use [form:4]Flap;!Moonkin Form
/cancelaura [btn:2]Moonkin Form

I used to have a button that would take you into Cat Form, then from cat form to prowl, then it would do Ravage, which was an ability that could only be used while prowling, and behind your target… if you weren’t behind your target then it would use mangle, if you were in combat and in cat form, then it would use mangle…

It was a pretty versatile little button.

This is used while in combat, it lets you have cat form/ prowl as the same keybind regardless of in combat or out.

This is really useful ! Thanks
