Dont fix things that arnt broken, stopcasting is vital to alot of people's dps, dont make people with good comps suffer imo.

I didn't notice it in the list, but I did some research to fix my addon.
It has to do with the new tracking options available.

count = GetNumTrackingTypes()
name, texture, active, category = GetTrackingInfo(id)

Q u o t e:
Coming in 2.3 is a way to log taint spreading through global variables.

To turn taint logging on:
/console taintLog 1

To turn taint logging off:
/console taintLog 0

---

Two things:

1) Did you mean /console set taintLog 1?
2) When will this be shipped to the PTR? I was playing around on the PTR with no mods loaded, and received a "An action has been blocked" message in the chat window. This is, to put it lightly, surprising, considering that I had no addons, and had only copied my macros and keybindings over, along with some UI settings changes (note: none of the macros contain /run or /script). I'd love to at least try to duplicate this, but it's worthless to do so without taint logging in a build we have access to. :)

Q u o t e:
No promises, but it's looking like /cancelform followed by a spell cast will not be needed in 2.3.

By default any spell that requires you to leave your current form will automatically cancel your form before casting. This applies to shadowform and stealth as well. You can disable this with /console autoUnshift 0

Barring unforseen complications, this should be on the test realm after next week's update, so please test it out thoroughly at that time.

This is a very elegant change and generally spectacular news. Thank you.

Q u o t e:


I'm not sure what you mean. /cancelform doesn't have functionality to allow you to shapeshift back into the same form...

But, you could do something like this:
/use Super Healing Potion
/cast Dire Bear Form
and it would switch to caster form, use a potion and put you back into bear form, assuming that you had enough mana to return to bear form.

---

I think what he meant was:
Currently on test, if you're in bear form and
/cancelform
/use Super Healing Potion
/cast Dire Bear Form

It won't go into bear form, even if you're not on the GCD. It does, however, work from cat and travel form. That's the problem with 'same form' currently.

That's already been fixed. It should be in the next build or two.

Ya, I saw that they intended to fix it, though it is not fixed yet. I was just clearing it up because the blue response did not seem to understand the poster's concern.

I think you may have seriously misunderstood the nature of the changes.

Iriel,

I'm still very confused on how the new stopcasting will work. Can you put up some examples based on how people used to use it to circumvent latency and how it will work in 2.3?

I had a post here where I attempted to diagram the affect latency has on casting DPS: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2035714254&postId=19994026902&sid=1#11

It's pretty easy. You install Quartz, and instead of making a thousand /stopcasting macros to accompany it, you just cast your spell when it tells you to. No macros needed.

any chance that GetTradeSkillNumMade() will return the appropriate values for specialists? for example, i'm a spellcloth tailor and my spellcloth skill gives me two spellcloth whereas non-specialists get only one. this function indicates only 1 spellcloth is created regardless of specialization.
