Druid: Action Bar change on Prowl

[Nipah]

I just recently started using the Nurfed UI (which is awesome by the way), and I've also just recently started playing my druid again... But I've run into a small problem.

I used to work with a ton of other add-ons, and I had one called Prowler, which basically changed your action bar upon prowl (much like a rogues bar changes when they stealth/unstealth). However, it doesn't seem to be working with Nurfed UI (most likely a problem with the Prowler add-on no doubt).

So here's my question: Is there any way to change my main bar upon prowl, and have it change back when I do my little kitty Ambush/Backstab? It's not a huge deal, but seeing as how the WoW forums are giving me crap, I figured I'd post something here and see if anyone was able to help. After playing a rogue to 60, its quite hard to get used to only having 1 bar for stealth/unstealth moves...

I dont use NurfedUI atm, and when i Prowl the bar doesn't change.

I had the same problem and tried to script such a thing myself. It's pretty easy to write a macro that changes the action bar when you start to prowl, what's more difficult is to write a macro that checks if you're stealthed and when not changes the action bar back.

My solution:
I figured it was probably easier to write some simple macros like

/cast Ravage(rank x)
/cast Shred(rank x

if you were used to have shred and ravage on the same button. This will try to do Ravage first, so if you're prowling you ravage and the global cooldown prevents you from shredding. If you're not prowling, it'll give you an error message like "Can only be done in stealth" and then you will shred.

I only needed to make two macros, one for Ravage/Shred and one for Pounce/Claw. Of course, you can set up other macros, using the skills you had on the respective action bars. The only important thing is, to always set the move you can only do while prowling first.

Yeah that's the same thing I do, there's only Ravage and Pounce to worry about so it's not a big deal like for a Rogue. I put Ravage/Shred on the same key and Pounce/Maim on another.

Thats a freakin awesome idea. I'm no scripting genius, but could you code out:

IF PROWL, /cast ravage
ELSE /cast shred

Is there a good website for making macros?

Just make sure if your main bar has two pages and your prowler bar is set to your main bar second page.

See, you don't need to make it so complicated, just make a macro

/cast Ravage
/cast Shred

If you're stealthed you ravage, if not you shred, just with some little errormessages. Since I tend to trigger buttons I have the audio errormessages turned off anyways.

By using IsBuffActive (too lazy to link u can find it on curse) u can avoid the u must be in stealth spam

/script if IsBuffActive ("Stealth","player") then CastSpellByName ("Ambush") else CastSpellByName ("Backstab"); end

Change abilities' names and u are done

That's an addon though, isn't it?

Yep and it will be nerfed in TBC...
