Excellent guide, thanks.
Will using this guide work for those of us who haven't done the
BC upgrade yet?

The macro changes that prompted this, rather nice, guide were included in the 2.0 patch that everyone got.
this in general is a very good macro:
/cast [button:1] ; [button:2] ; [button:3]
(insert your own spells) I have mademultiple ones for my aspects, my tracking and my traps. very very convenient and saves a lot of space on your screen.

I really love this guide! great job.
However, I tried to make a basic one for my lvl 25 warrior and it didnt exacly work. It was something like,
/cast rend
/cast hamstring
I also tried
/castsequence rend; hamstring
could you or somebody tell me what ive done wrong here?

try playing around with it a while, change the order of the 2 or something like that.
i use
/cast raptor strike
/cast wing clip
yet it always casts wing clip first. and then the raptor strike. probably because RS is on a cooldown.
but i wouldnt know if either of those your trying to cast is on a cd.

There's also one little thing about Raptor Strike (that, IMO, is rather annoying about it). It's not an instant strike. It works similar to the Warrior's Heroic Strike in that it takes effect on you NEXT normal swing. It just converts your next white attack to a yellow. :) Just mildly annoying.
wow VERY useful, there doesn't seem to be much info on macro's around, this is a well needed guide.

How many times did you press the key? You need to press twice to cast both spells (of course hamstring is casted only after rend is successfully casted). Macro only performs 1 action at a time since the 2.0 patch was introduced to prevent botting. By the way, spells follow by comma(,) not semi-colon(;) in the castsequence.

/cancelaura Dire Bear Form, Aquatic Form, Cat Form, Travel Form, Moonkin Form, Tree of Life, Flight Form
... , but other than the multiple cancel aura, I think it will work fine.
I think the problem is that you have to select either Moonkin or Tree but not both (they are same stance: if you have moonkin then no way you could be tree or vice versa based on your talent selection)

Is there anyway to cast Frostbolt, but cast Arcane Missles instead when Clearcasting is up?

Not really. That kind of logic/automation is what Blizzard was getting away from when they made the massive changes in the 2.0 update. It's that kind of logic that Decursive was using and Blizzard wanted to break.
The conditional decision making is something Blizzard wants to leave in the PLAYER'S hands, not some macro or script.
My advice? Put both buttons right next to each other on the action bar and/or assign 'em both keybindings that are very close to each other so that you can switch between them easily. I do this with my hover macros for Dispel Magic and Cure Disease (` and ~, respectively).

I have a nice sneaky Hunter macro that works great in PvP, especially against melee opponents who don't pay enough attention...
/use Superior Healing Potion
/cast Immolation Trap(Rank X)
/stopcasting
/cast Feign Death
If you hit it at just the right time, you go down as if beaten, but with a potion in your belly and an Immolation Trap burning your opponent... wait a few seconds, pop back up and start firing away, or do your melee thing. My NE Hunter is Beast Mastery spec, lvl 51. I faced death at the hands of a 70 Tauren Warrior... but with my little trick, I managed to take him down to half health!!
I can't imagine how well this will work on an equal-level Player...

Didn't read back to make sure, this hadn't alrealy been corrected, but this is the correction for easy prowl:
/dismount
/cast [stance:3, modifier:shift] Dash
/castsequence [nostance] Cat Form; [nostealth] Prowl
The cancel aura doesn't work with more than one form so I left it out.

EasyProwl
This macro will dismount you, shift you out of whatever stance you're in, go into Cat Form and attempt to Prowl. It's nice for getting into stealth quickly and easily whenever required. Hitting the Shift button will also activate Dash when using this macro, letting you catch whatever your target is. Hitting this macro repeatedly will NOT remove your Prowl because it makes sure you're not already stealthed before activating it.

Out of curiosity, can anybody tell me why this hasn't been sticky'd yet?

Sorry for bumping this back to the top, but I have a question.
What is a macro that could active a Trinket and Shamanistic Rage at the same time? (They are not on a global cooldown).

Hmm. Well.
You can't cast Pet spells directly using the /cast function. What you CAN do is use the /click PetActionButton4 (or 5, or 6, or 7...) which will click the appropriate button on your pet bar. Assuming that Prowl is the fifth ability on the bar, counting the Aggressive/Defensive/Passive options...

Actually, you can use cast for pets.
I use
/cast Prowl
all the time. You can use conditions to be sure you have the correct pet
/cast [pet:cat] Prowl

you could use
/castsequence reset=<4> Name of Trinket, Shamanistic Rage
You'll have to click it twice. I put the reset in there so that if you don't hit it twice in 4 seconds it will reset and try Name of Trinket again first.

since they are not on the same cooldown.
you can just use:
/use <trinket name>
/cast Shamanistic rage
Any tips on making a macro to use the item equipped in a certain slot?
For example, I use 3 trinkets, all of which have use effects. 2 I use in PvE, but in PvP I switch on my insignia. Is there a way to make a macro that will use whichever trinket I have equipped in the upper trink slot?

And to RPZip. Wonderfull guide. Helped me countless times. If I could, I'd rate you up, but I'll rate you up in my head.
Really really IMPRESSIVe guide!!
Thanks a ton for creating such a thing!! I read almost all (but still didn't understand some things, lol) , will try some macros soon..
But still, i would like to have a macro for my resto druid to res targeted person and saying a phrase in emote, say one of three in a sequence.
Something like "my name' is calling forces of nature to res "Target"
In 30 min when i cast it again it will say "my name" is bringing "target" back to life, and in more 30 min it will say another phrase...
Can you plese make this oine for me?? I would really appreciate in =)

Updated - now with new and improved information!
If anyone has any macro requests I'm still looking for good suggestions to add to the guide (the Shaman one is noticeably lacking, especially).
