Speaking of macros;
My feral druid’s attack macro stopped working.
I deleted it and re-wrote t but it still refused to work.
"Mangle" was the issue. When it rotated up – I’d get the "?" symbol,
meaning Wow had no idea what I was trying to do. So I deleted it again and
opened my spell book and shift-clicked on it to get it EXACTLY correct in
the macro.It still gave the "?". At this point I thought there may be an issue with
how I had written the castsequence part, so I copied that from another toon
out of his working macro.
It still did not work. So I tried just typing in "mangle" without the (Cat)
part. Nope, no fix. I asked in guild chat but no one else online at the
time was using macros. I asked in trade and got no answers at all. (no
surprise there). I kept thinking there may be something simple I had missed
but I could not figure it out, especially since the macri had WORKED
previous to the patch.
I did a web search for feral druid macros and after a few sites found one
that was a little different. It had listed the Cat’s mangle :
/cast Mangle (Cat)()
And then below there was an italicized note saying : "Note the extra ()".
It never said why they were there, but had just pointed out that they seemed
important. When I added these to my macro, it worked! I do not know yet
enough about macros to understand WHY, but it does look like this is the way
you have to write that ability out.
Here’s a macro for swapping specs:
/usetalents [spec:1] 2; [spec:2] 1
