Hymn of Hope / Shadowform macro

[shanthi]

So when I'm playing my shadow spec in a raid, I'll use Hymn of Hope to help healers when they're running low on mana. However, Hymn of Hope kicks me out of shadowform, so I wanted to create a macro that would channel Hymn of Hope and then put me back into shadowform.

That, by itself, was easy:

#showtooltip
/castsequence Hymn of Hope, Shadowform

I then thought I'd modify this a bit and add a [nochanneling] conditional to the Shadowform part, so that I can essentially repeatedly press the button to get back into shadowform the instant the channel ends, without clipping any of it. So I tried this:

#showtooltip
/castsequence Hymn of Hope, [nochanneling] Shadowform

To the best of my knowledge, you can include conditionals on different parts of a castsequence, but apparently I'm missing something, because this macro doesn't work the way I intended. Pressing it just toggles shadowform on and off, never firing Hymn of Hope (it doesn't go on cooldown). Any idea what the problem is and how I might fix it? Is what I'm intending not possible? It seems like fairly standard functionality, so I was surprised that it didn't work.

Thanks for any input.

Actually, you can't, as that would cause issues with statements being potentially ambiguous.
What you want is the following:

#showtooltip
/castsequence [nochanneling:Hymn of Hope]reset=360 Hymn of Hope,!Shadowform
/stopmacro
/cast !Shadowform

Ah, okay. I thought I had previously seen castsequence macros with conditionals on different parts, but I must be misremembering. Thanks a lot for the help!

Try this:

#showtooltip
/cast [noform,nochanneling]Shadowform;Hymn of Hope

Both macros work perfectly. Thanks again for taking the time to help.
