Andy/Lawrence/Ian, can you guys tell me how to write form-dependent macros?
As in, I want a single button to hit Growl if I'm a bear and Feral Faerie Fire (Cat) if I'm a cat. What's the syntax for that kind of thing?

Re: Macros for droods
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] Growl; [stance:2] Faerie Fire (Feral)()
The stance number is the order in which it is on your form bar, starting at the left with Bear/Dire Bear. Unless it changed recently, and it might have, you need the extra () after any spell which has parenthesis in it because of the old syntax for specifying ranks... i.e. Faerie Fire (Rank 2). The () at the end means "use the highest rank possible" and if you didn't include it, it would think "Feral" was the rank and break.
From memory, these are some of the macros I use that are on bars that don't get automatically changed by shifting:
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] Demoralizing Roar; [stance:2] Prowl; [nostance] Cyclone
#showtooltip
/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire; Faerie Fire (Feral)()
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] Enrage; [stance:2] Ferocious Roar; [stance:3] Hibernate
There's also the useful ones for cat:
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Ravage; Shred
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Pounce; Ferocious Bite
I put Ferocious Bite as the other half of Pounce, I know other druids that do other things instead.
