Quick Boomkin tips for Cataclysm #2 - Macros/Keybinds

Macro list is below.
As I said in the video, there may be better macros out there, keybinds, etc. This is not a macro/keybind bible, but something I hope can be helpful to beginners. And sorry, I think you can actually hear my cat snore in the background....fucking eh!

Starfall Macro:
/cast Starfall
/use 13

Cyclone mouse-over macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,exists,nodead] Cyclone; Cyclone

Faerie Fire macro:
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast Faerie Fire

Roots/Beam macro:
/cast Entangling Roots
/cast Solar Beam

Innervate your healer:
/target [healer name]
/cast Innervate

Interrupt - skull bash (didn't go over this but here it is anyway):
#showtooltip
/cast [nostance:1/3] Cat Form; [stance:3] Skull Bash(Cat Form); Skull Bash(Bear Form)

Keybinds I use are:
Z for mushrooms, shift+Z to detonate
mouse thumb button for cyclone mouse-over
middle scroll wheel button for roots/solar beam
F2 for faerie fire macro
shift + thumb for travel form
shift + right button for boomkin form
R for starfall
To me, those are the important ones, but if I forgot any, please ask and I'll share :)

Happy critting!

[skaftafell1]

@Kibbenus I made a UI vid, but that addon is called Plate Buffs.

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

[DynamiteGamingTv]

Almost can start making video's :O, only need my 16:9 screen now:)

[Wowdex8]

Thje addon where it shows the enemy's in the bg.... i have that one but whenever i close the menu part the box where it shows the enemy's goes away to! please help

[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'. :>

[BackRoomGecko]

whats your UI addon called?

[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.
