Stampeding Roar Macro Possible?

Hi All,

Haven’t played in years, so might have to “bear” with me a bit.

I noticed that if you cast stampeding roar without being in a feral form, it puts you in bear form automatically before casting it, so you’ve saved a gcd. Everybody loves free GCD’s. However, if you just cast bear form, it triggers a gcd, meaning you cant then immediately stampeding roar or anything else.

So my question is, is there a macro / way to get this same free GCD but having it shift me into cat form instead. Since by casting it in no form, its just choosing bear form for us by default i was curious if this was possible. I absolutely do not have the skills to figure it out myself however and didnt see it online anywhere.

Using roar in any form other than cat or bear will shift you into bear and you don’t incur the gcd.

If you were already in cat and you use roar you won’t incur a gcd, but if you weren’t in cat already and you’re wondering if you can shift to cat > roar with no gcd I don’t think that’s possible.

I’m not logged in at the moment, but if I recall you will incur a gcd anytime you shift into a form (unless it’s as part of a spell like roar).
