    bar problem...

    I'm just re-picking up my druid (lvl 48) to use as a tank in the future, but I've come across a problem when shifting forms. My usual layout for main actions is:

    F1/F2/F3/F4
    1 2 3 4

    I can usually survive with 8 buttons, with my emergencies to the right, but with the regular bar setup, my F1-5 don't change when I go from caster to bear to cat.

    Is there anyway I can change the topbar to change when I shift without installing a UI mod?

    It's been a while since I've used the default UI, but I'm fairly certain you can get the second bar to switch when you change forms along with the first. Unfortunately I'm not sure where you'd change that...

    Incidentally, nice comment, except:

    You should be using 'you're' instead of 'your'. Kind of degrades from the wit of it...

    I believe the only way to achieve that is to use macros for your F1 to F4 which would look somewhat like this. I don't know much about the syntax of macros but it would logically mean something like this:

    If you're in bear form, it does the following;
    If you're in cat form, it does the following;
    If you're in caster form (which would probably be unmodified), it does the following;

    I am not sure how the question mark would react to a macro like that, but otherwise you can select your own custom icon and get used to it.

    @ degrador: I'll check that thing, but thanks for the sig info, I stole it from a youtube comment, and overlooked that minor imperfection.

    #showtooltip
    /Cast [stance:1] the squishy skill in dire bear form
    /cast [stance:2] whatever you want to do in aquatic form
    /cast [stance:3] scratch scrath catform spell
    /cast [stance:4] if there's something you want to do in travel form
    /cast [stance:5] anything in either moonkin or tree of life


    honestly, I don't know exactly, if there's something in normal casterform... maybe "[stance:0]", but I'm not sure about this.


    if you have problems with the length of the macro, you can change it to

    #showtooltip
    /Cast [stance:1] abc; [stance:2] def;

    it's just more clear to see if you make a new line for every stance.

    [nostance] works for caster form.
