And the /use Master Healthstone line will in fact grab the first available stone, regardless of how many talent points the warlock had (so sort them in the order you want to use them in your bags!), and if you dont have any, will default to a CCF (and if you dont have one of those, you just get the potion effect)<BR/><BR/>Good luck on your ring. I have yet to successfully do that event, though I got to the end boss of it at one point. Just lost interest in doing dailies, especially the banishing demons one.<BR/><BR/>I do have 2 runes right now, though, I should give it a couple tries when I go to farm more CCF (I'm down to 7 now).

Good news.<BR/><BR/>And Messyah, I'm afraid that wouldn't work, because rejuvenation will put you on global cooldown, thus leaving you stuck out of form. If you dont mind being out of form for a second, though, you could make a two-press macro like this, though:<BR/><BR/>/castsequence rejuvenation; Cat Form<BR/><BR/>You wouldn't need /cancelform for this one, regardless of any recent changes, because trying to cast spells while in forms has in fact automatically dropped forms since 2.3.<BR/><BR/>PS: I actually would continue to use the Hunnypot macro, even if they DID allow us to use stones and potions in forms. Dont broadcast this fact too loudly, but while you lose all but 10 of your rage by shifting out to eat and drink, you also get STRONGER healthstones and potions, because for that split second you're out of form, your health pool is much smaller, so that 4500 health you're gaining in caster form equates to 6k+ health in bear.<BR/><BR/>Shhhh, its a secret!SuraBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032638801256115996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-43371011281326161282008-02-22T06:03:00.000-08:002008-02-22T06:03:00.000-08:00With the last patch changes, most macros are somet...With the last patch changes, most macros are something like:<BR/><BR/>#showtooltip<BR/>/use Super Healing Potion<BR/>/cast !Dire Bear Form<BR/><BR/>The same applies for casting spells - we don't need /cancelform anymore!!<BR/><BR/>Also, the "!" is a new thing, meaning "toggle on" the form.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-47968678877152421922008-02-22T05:38:00.000-08:002008-02-22T05:38:00.000-08:00Dude, I love you for the Hunnypot macro.

The tr...That is correct, at least for most spells. The trick is, any action that doesn't invoke a global cooldown allows additional actions to be taken with the same button press. Shifting out of forms and using consumables are two actions that do not invoke the cooldown (though consumables have their own, separate CD). <BR/><BR/>Trinkets are the same way (my warlock has his two trinket slots macroed to Unstable Affliction, since it is the first spell he casts when applying DoTs, so whenever he has a trinket up, one of them gets popped as soon as he tosses out a UA).<BR/><BR/>Also, note that actual spells that dont invoke the GCD, such as Arcane Power, Icy Veins, or Nature's Swiftness, can also be chained with other spells in a macro (such as nature's swiftness + Healing Touch). However, at least pre-2.3, you needed to add an additional line, "/stopcasting" after the instant spell or the macro would break itself, as you're already "casting" a spell, and the WoW client wouldn't allow you to cast another spell until it got a message from the server that "you can cast now, that one's a freebie". By adding /stopcasting, you trick your client side computer into thinking "oh, he decided not to cast that first spell after all, so its okay to let him cast something else", while the actual command to cast the first spell still got through to the server.SuraBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16032638801256115996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-58379555882890209512008-02-21T19:11:00.000-08:002008-02-21T19:11:00.000-08:00One other note about Hunnypot: you also have to be...One other note about Hunnypot: you also have to beware of incapacitating effects. The GCD is one thing, you can prepare for that by just not attacking for 1.5 seconds before you might need the pot. But if you're fighting a boss that stuns or fears and keeps attacking you (like Nightbane)then this macro should only be used as a last-ditch effort.<BR/><BR/>The same rules apply: you can always shift out, you can't always shift in, so you may find yourself not only stuck in humanoid form, but with your back to a big-ol' dragon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634943682265586439.post-57449281070628402532008-02-21T18:58:00.000-08:002008-02-21T18:58:00.000-08:00I was under the impression that one button press o...I was under the impression that one button press on the keyboard = one button press in game, meaning that to use the Hunneypot the button would have to be mashed.
