    Stance Macros

    Did blizzard mess with the stance numbers or something in the patch? because this macro now no longer works properly.

    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [stance:1] Enrage(Bear Form)
    /cast [stance:3] Prowl(Cat Form)
    /cast [nostance:1,3] Remove Corruption
    What should happen:
    While in stance 1 (Bear Form) Character uses use Enrage, nothing else happens
    While in stance 3 (Cat Form) Character uses Prowl, nothing else happens
    While not in either of these stances Character uses cast Remove Corruption

    This worked fine right up until the patch.

    Now what happens:

    While in stance 1 (Bear Form) Character uses Enrage, nothing else happens
    While in stance 3 (Cat Form) Character uses Prowl, then proceeds to cast Remove Corruption (breaking stealth)
    While not in either of these stances Character uses cast Remove Corruption

    Try it like this:

    Code:
    #showtooltip
    /cast [stance:1] Enrage(Bear Form); [stance:3] Prowl(Cat Form); Remove Corruption

    Not quite. In the macro I gave you, the commands are read left to right and every time a condition returns true, the spell is cast and macro ends and the rest of the macro doesn't try to execute at all.

    In your macro, all the commands are on separate lines. When you press the button, all lines try to execute. When line two goes off, you get into prowl which makes you not in stance 3 anymore so then line 3 applies and you start removing corruption (since prowl doesn't trigger gcd). For abilities not triggering gcd and trinkets, you can stack them and fire them off at the same time as initial spell by writing them on separate lines.
    Technically I'm surprised that it works as well for you as stance change takes a bit of time to register normally but syntax wise it works exactly as you wrote it.

    [nostance:1,3] reads as "you are not in both stance 1 and 3". You want [nostance:1/3].

    Ahhh I see, Thanks :-)

    (Although I still question as to why it worked fine before the patch...)
