Nice video! Just curious - why use a Faerie Fire macro to pop Rogues out of Stealth and not Pounce, if you're Cat form Prowling already? Once they're stunned, you can Faerie Fire them and then start rofl-stomping :)

[skaftafell1]

@katagoshi3 well, the faerie fire macro works the same way as a rogue sap. They don't know where you are, and they don't want you to know where they are, so they run around, trying to find you while spamming their sap macro. The faerie fire is exactly the same. So, I know a rogue is at the flag, not sure where, but I also don't want him to open on me. Sure, it pops me out of stealth, but it stops that opener and giving him the upper hand. Most rogues go all pussy though and cloak/vanish hahahah

[katagoshi3]

@skaftafell1 @skaftafell1

True, but those pussy rogues that do Cloak after the FF would only have a few seconds in stealth before the Pounce Bleed pops them back out. A similar macro I would use:

/cleartarget [stealth] /targetenemy [noexists, nocombat, stealth] /cast [stealth] Pounce; /cast [nostealth] Faerie Fire (feral)

I know this is just my kitty bias, but Stun + Bleed + FF = fucked rogue, Cloak or no, even if he trinkets the Pounce because the bleed will persist 18secs. Just my opinion :)

[skaftafell1]

@katagoshi3 Oh yeah I agree, but wouldn't you have to know where the rogue is to pounce/bleed him first? Or am I reading your macro wrong lol

[katagoshi3]

@skaftafell1

Woops, I think I had the commands slightly out of order, and I missed a conditional....

/targetenemy [noexists, nocombat, stealth]

/cast [exists, stealth] Pounce; [nostealth] Faerie Fire (feral);

/cleartarget [stealth]

Pounce is melee range, where FF is 30yds, so you risk getting sapped if they are out of range when you target them (if they see you, too), but I'd still gamble for the Pounce opener because of the stun/bleed effect, then follow up with FF.

[TheMankrikscow]

@katagoshi3 Its a good macro, but as a balance druid i'd think the rogue will see you before you can pounce on him/faerie fire him. He'd get a good opening on you, wich can determine whether it'll be a win or a loss :> i think that only casting faerie fire would be the 'safest'. :>

[Tewty11]

/cast [stance:3] Stampeding Roar(Cat Form); [stance:1] Stampeding Roar(Bear Form)

is a good one, casts stampeding roar whichever form your in, all in one button:)

[skaftafell1]

@Tewty11 Oh hell, that's awesome! I heart you :)

[Tewty11]

PS: wat addon are you using to show your targets debuffs??

[Tewty11]

Dunno if you have this?

/cast [swimming] Aquatic Form; [outdoors, noflyable] Travel Form; [outdoors, combat] Travel Form; Swift Flight Form

Flight form if u can fly, travel if your in combat or unable to fly in a bg, and retarded seal if your swimming. :)

[Theryn12]

An eventuellt better innervate on healer macro is

/cast [target=healername] innervate

This lets you innervate your healer without even changing the target :)

[skaftafell1]

@Theryn12 Yeah for sure.......arena that would be fine. someone already suggested that to me, but i haven't been back to arena for like 2 months :(

[Perthgamer]

Hi there great video's :)

Just wondering what is the addon that shows your debuffs above the enemy's hp bar ?

thanks keep them video's coming :)

[skaftafell1]

@Perthgamer Yo :) It's called Plate Buffs :)

[muchomacho1983]

I want to thank you for the mouse over cyclone and ff macros. It has really stepped up my game. When us boomkins can hold a node by ourselves against multiple people, it's always a good game.

Is barkskin glyph working out for you? I don't use it, I'm rocking roots still.

[skaftafell1]

@muchomacho1983 Yo! I am rocking the barkskin glyph...............I regret my past in not doing it. Not having some jackass rogue or warrior crit on you is huge..........it is definitely worth it!

[muchomacho1983]

@skaftafell1 Yo! Thank you, I will try it out. I know how them rogues/warriors are. Damn them stuns!!!

[MrCookieGaming]

Well what you could add to your innervate healer macro is /targetlasttarget so u don't have to click to target your last target :)

[skaftafell1]

@MrCookieGaming Damn. Nice work............never thought of that hahah! TY :D

[MrCookieGaming]

@skaftafell1 You're welcome :)

[GamersUniverseX]

[skaftafell1]

@GamersUniverseX Dancing in the Dark, Proper Villains Remix. Sorry, thought I had it in the description! doh :P

[Divinesteak]

[jadshadowdog]

[skaftafell1]

[skaftafell1]

[waspenx]

next time you typhoon someone off the cliff, try not to step up and enjoy. LOL. Instead if you back off a little bit, just to get out of LOS, they won't be able to use their spell to get back up.

[skaftafell1]

@waspenx hahah yeah, I wasn't expecting him to be smart since he never plays his rogue these days :P He surprised me that he remembers how to play :P

[brent527]

Hey Skafta,

For macros with spells on specific targets you should try out:

/cast [target=Shadowfiend] Dispel Magic etc..

This way your target doesn't get messed with. You could also add /targetlasttarget

btw your friends must be crazy to agree to duel you up on that platform :P

<3 <3

[skaftafell1]

@brent527 thanks! Yeah, I'm not a macro queen, and for the longest time, my only macro was a powershift in Wrath :P Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give it a shot tonight on my platform :P

[skaftafell1]

@TheUnknownCG hey :) My UI is really just a couple of panels that I drew in Gimp (free version of photoshop), and then I use KGpanels to put them in the game :)
