__________________________________________________________________________

WoW's macro scripting language in version 2.0+ has been completely overhauled, so most old macros will no longer work. Specifically, you cannot cast spells using "if" logic (nor dumb logic). Only the bracketed conditions work.
For information about the changes, please read 2.0 Changes - Concise List (version 3): http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=48647169&sid=1
For a great macro tutorial, please read Neuro's Macro Guide for WoW 2.0 (v2): http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=51896128&sid=1

Please add any macros you can think of.

NOTICE:

NO macro can check for: BUFFS, DEBUFFS, or COOLDOWNS
NO macro can check for: HEALTH, MANA, RAGE, ENERGY, or COMBO POINTS
Any failed cast attempt stops the macro from casting any further spells.
Any spell cast without "(Rank X)" will automatically cast the highest rank of the spell you know.
All beneficial spells will automatically reduce rank if necessary to that of a lower level target.
Each shapeshift corresponds to a "stance." Either Moonkin or Tree of Life is stance 5, depending on spec. Flight Form would be the next number.
The "shifting cooldown" only applies when you are trying to deshift within the first 1.5 seconds of shifting into that form, using the special action buttons. It doesn't stop you from rapidly shifting from one form into another (using those buttons), and it doesn't apply to macros.
/castsequence resets after all listed spells are cast; reset=X will reset X seconds after last activation (not initial activation).
Spells with parenthesis in their name do not require a specified rank when casting, but do require a specified rank when using /castsequence:
The Shift modifier is currently broken, I think. It should be fixed in the next patch. There might be a workaround.
[bracketed words] are conditions (see list in top URL). [target=unit] is not a true condition, but casts the spell on that unit without changing who you are targeting.
Focus allows you to "store" a target (with /focus) until you clear the focus (with /clearfocus), which can be targetted at any time (with /target focus, or [target=focus])

UPDATE: Slouken's addon fix for the modifier:shift issue

Shifting Macros

Shift to Caster Form from any form

/cancelaura [stance:1] Dire Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted] Frostwolf Howler <replace with your mount>

Shift to Dire Bear Form from any form - note: to have this macro also de-shift you, include "[stance:1] Dire Bear Form; " somewhere in the /cancelaura line.
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted] Frostwolf Howler <replace with your mount>
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form

Shift to Dire Bear From and Feral Charge from any form
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted] Frostwolf Howler <replace with your mount>
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form; [stance:1] Feral Charge

Shift to Dire Bear Form and equip Idol/Weapon
* "Shift to Dire Bear From from any form, equip Warden Staff and Idol of Brutality only when you actually shift to Dire Bear. Note that the test for the equip is still [nostance] because it hasn't yet registered that the stance has changed. You don't need to worry about the global cooldown, because the stance change and the weapon equip both trigger it at the same time, so you only suffer once. (...equipping things can be done during global cooldown.) I haven't tried, but I suspect that reversing these would cause the change to bear form to fail, since it would then be trying to do it during the weapon change's global cooldown."
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form <or Tree of Life>
/cancelaura [mounted] Frostwolf Howler <replace with your mount>

Q u o t e:

Faerie Fire and Feral Faerie Fire in one button:

/cast [nostance] Faerie Fire(Rank 4); Faerie Fire (Feral)(Rank 4)

=)

I put that in Drak, thank you for the contribution. But I'm wondering if such a marcro is really necessary, since we get whole new action bars when we shift...

it is still useful, unless we get multiple new bars. right now we just get one...which kinda sucks if you are keybinding 1-6, since i would like to use more than 6 abilities in catform.

Q u o t e:

You could do a two click system pretty easily with:

/castsequence reset=3 Nature's Swiftness, Roots
/castsequence reset=3 Nature's Swiftness, Healing Touch (Rank 10)
etc.

However, it might still be possible to squeeze both into one click, depending upon how commands are executed. For example:

/cast Nature's Swiftness
/cast Roots {or Healing Touch (Rank 10), etc.}

might work, or:

/cast Nature's Swiftness
/stopcasting
/cast Roots {or Healing Touch (Rank 10), etc.}

might, but it's quite possible there is no way to do that any more. Since I'm not on PTR or Beta, I can't test these.

Q u o t e:

Eh, I have my FF/FFF macro bound to "G" :)

Right, good point :)

Also, I believe that we can leave of the "(Rank X)" part and the macro will automatically use the highest rank available, but I'm not positive. If someone can test this out, I'll add that note to the top.

I'll cross post my macros from another thread.

#1 Spammable Prowl and Shadowmeld
/cast [nocombat, stance:3, stealth]; [nocombat, stance:3] Prowl; [nocombat, nostance] Shadowmeld

#2 Shift to Dire Bear from any form (min 1, max 2 clicks)
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form
/cast [nostance] Dire Bear Form

#3 Shift to Cat form from any form (min 1, max 2 clicks)
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:1] Dire Bear Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form
/cast [nostance] Cat Form

#4 Shift to Travel form from any form (min 1, max 2 clicks)
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:1] Dire Bear Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form
/cast Travel Form

#5 Shift to Humanoid form from any form
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:4] Travel Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:1] Dire Bear Form; [stance:5] Moonkin Form

#6 Self-cast Innervate
/cast [target=player] Innervate

#7 Ravage Shred Macro with stealth check
/cast [nostealth] Shred; [stealth] Ravage

#8 Pounce Rake Macro with stealth check
/cast [nostealth] Rake; [stealth] Pounce

Note: #7 and #8 have the non-stealth ability listed before the stealth ability. This is to allow the macro button to light up when there is enough energy for a Shred.

If the macro is written as "/cast [stealth] Ravage; Shred", then it only lights up for Ravage. Thus the key is always dimmed when out of stealth (using Shred)--even if you have 48-60 energy.

/cast [help] <Healing Spell>; [target=player] <Healing Spell>

This will target you when fighting enemies, but heal friends you target. Very useful.
