Q u o t e:
Well if its not the intent why the change at all? I can isntantly shift from cat to bear or bear to travel etc. on test. So why is it we can't shift from bear to bear and cat to cat?
This is what you yourself said about the change
Player said:
This could have the potential to seriously change the dynamics of druid play.
And your response was:
Yes, this is intentional.

Q u o t e:
/cancelform
/cast [target=player] Prayer of Mending
Q u o t e:
What about:
/cancelform
/fart
/cast Dire Bear Form()
Q u o t e:
Cat->Cat or Travel->Travel?
Q u o t e:
Does this include the shapeshift spells themselves? Ie. will form-to-form shifting (at the expense of mana) be possible via the secondary action bar, without the need for a macro?
Q u o t e:
You mean that after any spell cast you'll automatically leave forms and then cast it just like with auto-dismount? Will that work also with casting other forms? (So pressing cat while in bear will instant shift to cat?)
If so, that will free me up exactly 13 macro slots ^^
Q u o t e:
Does this change affect other classes, specifically Priests and Shadowform?
Q u o t e:
Not that I'd ever mouse-click my shapeshifting, but...
Assuming the default buttons get this behavior (bear to cat instantly, etc) will the default buttons receive a "caster form button". /cast Dire Bear Form would shift you instantly from bear to bear assuming mana and no GCD. Will the default button do that? Or will the default button just cancel bear form, as it currently does?
If the default button casts bear form while in bear form, users would need an extra 'human form' button, as none of the current buttons woule leave you in caster form unless you were on the GCD?
Either way, it's no big deal. I plan to have a bear, seal/travel/bird, cat, and human button after the patch. Just curious.
Q u o t e:
Are we protected against form cancelling if we don't have enough mana to execute the next shapeshift?
Q u o t e:
I see a potential problem due to lag. Currently, I frequently press a key to go into Cat form and then immediately press 8 to stealth. Maybe 30% of the time, I press the stealth key before the UI decides to change my default action bar to the Cat form one, which means it tries to use the ability in slot 8 of my caster form bar, yielding an error message about not being in the right form.
Q u o t e:
This is going to be an adjustment. Currently I have macros for each form, with a /cancelform line in each of them. This way, when I want to unshift I can press ANY of my form buttons and return to caster. I like this functionality, but I also love the idea of being able to instantly shift from bear->cat, etc. Guess I'm going to have to get used to a "Caster Form" macro button. :(
Q u o t e:
yeah, this has GOT to have some type of toggle effect in the settings like the auto dismount has (which i use autodismount and love. but...)
otherwise I also foresee a lot of "druid: oops... meant to cast feral faire fire. accidentally hit regular faire fire and it shifted me out of bear and I got glibbed for a 25k" type of things. i know, be more careful about what you press etc. but yeah. i tend to mash buttons a whoooole lot more while tanking that I do while flying on my mount.
Q u o t e:
I think I didn't make the problem clear.
I've JUST gone into cat form, but the default action bar is still that of the caster. I press 8, *wanting* Stealth, but on my caster actionbar it's lifebloom. Currently, I get "you cannot use that while shapeshifted" or something similar. It sounds like the PTR will make it immediately unshift me back to caster to try to use it.
However, since shapeshifting into a form starts a GCD, hopefully I will have the right actionbar up before the GCD is up, right? And thus, GCD would prevent the ability and the auto-unshift?
