@Muda: Thanks for the info on the Scryer repair guy!

@Kwast: Thank you for the correction! I have edited my post to make that clear. And it’s nice to know I don’t have to make a separate hotbar to facilitate direct shifting. As far as I’m aware, though, you can’t hotkey from your stance bar though, right?

@Sailoreagle: Thank you also for the name of the Scryer repairman. Having no alts who have chosen the Scryer faction, I wasn’t aware how sparsely populated our Terrace is in comparison. That seems quite unfair. I hate having to fly all the way down to Lower City to purchase reagents!

@Someone: I’m really surprised healthstones won’t pop you out of form. That means you still have to create a button to use one in Bear Form. And buttons like that look ugly when you don’t actually have the item in your inventory. /sigh

@Kalaghan: ^_^ Thanks. Corrected!

Just a minor point, the 33% reduction in rebirth cooldown means 50% more flintweed. =)
Yay 2.3! Just finished regemming everything to Teardrop Living Rubies since I see no reason to need the mana regen from Royal Nightseye anymore.

Actually, not “everything” puts you out of form! HS for instance doesn’t. But clicking on something to open it, will, which makes questing easier for ferals, even if you need to go back to cat form manually afterwards, but since I already have a form->cat->prowl macro in place, I’ll use it the same!

Mahir Redstroke, the above-mentioned dagger vendor: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19239

It’s always struck me as odd how utterly unpopulated Aldor Tier is as compared to Scryer Tier. I mean – Scryers get FOUR repair vendors… other than the one mentioned above, there are:
- a wand vendor – http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19236
- a staff vendor – http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19238
- a sword vendor – http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19240

They also get other amenities, such as – for instance – a reagent vendor (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19235), a portal trainer (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19340)… even a wine vendor (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19245)!

I’m Scryer on my main character, Aldor on an alt, and it’s fairly annoying to have to walk across the whole tier to repair, and have to go down to Lower City to buy reagents. It seems a bit… silly.

Are the macros for shifting form to form necessary?
“If you are in a shapeshift form and try to use an ability that may only be used in caster form, you will leave the form and use that ability. This means that you can shift from one form to another in one action. If you don’t have mana to shift form, you will get an error message and remain in your current form.”
Similar to how when you try to click on a form while mounted, it will dismount you then put you in that form. I don’t have a druid on the PTR though so I can’t test this.

The regular Class-bar already supports direct-form-to-form-shifting in PTR. So there’s no need for such macro’s. You can however use those macro’s to drink pots, healthstones or whatever nifty-ness you can come up with that only requires 1 mouseclick.

“Don’t be that guy.” You just offended 50% of the worlds population
And Scyer’s can repair right outside the inn at the dagger vendor.
What I love with this patch is that the Windhawk set gets more dmg, as it gets the dmg from the healing too
Ok, all I care about really is ZA, like, trolls? Can you ask for more? Now, I just need to get that credit card up and running. (If not, I’ll continue my rampage in TF2 =D)
