    1 Button, 2 spells

    Was just thinking about this tonight, is it possible to have 1 keybind for 2 spells?

    Example: I press MB5 (Mouse Button 5) for Aspect of the Fox while I am currently in Hawk. Is it possible to make it go back into Hawk if I press it while in Fox?

    You can make a /castsequence macro.

    *Edit*
    To elaborate, the macro you're looking for would go something like:
    /castsequence Aspect of the Fox, Aspect of the Hawk

    I'm not familiar with how hunter aspects work, but I doubt this is possible, you can however add a modifier:

    #showtooltip
    /cast [mod:alt] Aspect of the Hawk; Aspect of the Fox
    This will put you in Aspect of the Fox if you just press MB5, and put you in Hawk if you press alt+MB5. Of course you can change that to shift or ctrl

    I use

    #showtooltip
    /cast !Aspect of the Hawk; !Aspect of the Fox

    works well

    /cast aspect of the hawk
    /cast aspect of the fox

    very simple macro that i use to swap those two aspects. may look odd but i guarantee it works for how you want to use it. i also have #showtooltip aspect of the fox at the beginning but that is personal preference

    You could try it, but I doubt it will have the desired effect, as if you are already in Fox to begin with, it will try and cast Fox again and either it will waste a global "refreshing" Fox or it will produce some sort of error.

    With that, what it would do is alternate between the two. Pretty much, every click would change you between Aspect of the Fox, and Aspect of the Hawk. And, due to the way Aspects work, it would be impossible to be in Fox and have that macro showing fox, providing that you use only the macro for switching.

    I think that it would actually remove the aspect entirely, if he were in Fox to begin with. Ratmranter's solution seems to be ideal.

    That's still 2 buttons, what I am trying to avoid.

    That just keeps me in Hawk.

    dargon's suggestion works perfectly and is superior due to it showing which aspect you are switching to (if that matters to you). for the record aspects have a seperate GCD to other spells and does not start a GCD when you remove the aspect. which is why my macro works. if in any aspect but hawk (or none at all) it casts hawk and then is unable to cast fox due to gcd. if in hawk its removes hawk then casts fox.

    Exactly what I was talking about. I guess the solution was very simple, never thought to try it...

    Thanks bud.

    Edit: And now I see Dargon's shows me which I am switching to, very nice.

    You should be careful, as I believe this type of macro will ONLY work for stances/aspects, that don't activate the GCD when toggled off.

    Yeah, just switched to yours, showing what your switching to is very handy.
