Shadowmeld/Rake Macro Help

Hello fellow Druids.

I’m currently trying to make a macro that lets me cast Shadowmeld, and then Rake. Currently I have:
#showtooltip Shadowmeld
/use Shadowmeld
/use Rake

Which works fine except if I get overzealous and hit it while my GCD is running. In that case it will cast Shadowmeld, since SM is off the GCD, but then not cast Rake. So I end up losing the Shadowmeld because in the helter-skelter of a raid I move or do something else before I realize that the Rake didn’t go off.

So I’m hoping to pick the brains of some of the more experienced macro-writers here to see if there’s a better way to do what I’m trying to do.

Try this

#showtooltip Shadowmeld
/use !Shadowmeld
/use Rake

Basically /use Shadowmeld is the same thing as putting shadowmeld on your action bar. Click once to cast it, click it again to cancel it. An exclamation point before the spell will make it so it doesn’t get cancelled when you click it again.

You can use this for channeled abilities too, so you don’t cancel your currently channeled spell to cast something else.

Hello! I have been trying this on my resto druid with feral affinity but the rake will always be a normal rake and not the stunned stealth version. There is no GCD between these two abilities since this was originally posted. Does anyone have any advice as to why my rake is always the non-stealthed version? It works fine if i press them both separately very fast but not when together in a macro.

Ey mon, ya be a necromancer too
