I have recently started playing Druid for the first time. Until now, I was okay with my simple key binds and action bar design in my other characters. But it seems Druid has some tricks in action bars. I read other topics but didn’t understand what to do for my problem. Need some assistance from everyone
So I know, Action Bar 1 changes with forms. And people advise to use form specific spells in Action Bar 1 but I didn’t quite like the idea that it changes everytime. Right now, I am not using Action Bar 1. It’s okay for me to see all my spells even if they are inactive. I couldn’t upload a picture to my post so I will try explain my layout and question briefly.
My Action 2 Bar:
1 = Moonfire
2 = Solarfire
3 = Wrath and it goes like this mostly ranged DPS spells. ( 1,2,3 are key binds)
My Action 3 Bar:
This bar includes my Bear form spells. They don’t have a key bind right now.
My question:
Suppose I am in Moonkin form and doing ranged DPS. I changed to Bear form. At this point, I want my key binds in Action Bar 2 to apply the same to my Action Bar 3 for Bear form spells. Right now, If I press “1” , I cast Moonfire and go back to Moonkin. But I want to cast Bear spells in that bar with the same key binds. What should I do ? Or which topic should I research and experiment more ? Paging, macros, etc ? Thanks for your help in advance
If I am understanding this correctly, and feel free to elaborate if I am mistaken.
You want bear spells on action bar 2 when swapping to bear form?
I’m no druid but I think at the moment only action bar 1 changes with the forms, we would have to wait for a druid player to verify this of course.
alternatively I would suggest and addon like bartender and simply add action bars for each form so you can see all the spells, but what to with key bindings then is beyond me.
Don’t know if you like addons but you can always install Bartender4 addon which is highly customizable and you can set actionbar paging (actionbar swapping) based on form. You’re also able to set a default actionbar and configure different settings for different specs on the same character. I use it on my Druid (and my other characters) and it works really well.
I Use Elvui as my UI but the action is the same, Action bar 1 changeds to action bar 6,7,8 (i belive) bepending on the form, also to note the prowl is also a different form to cat. (is on mine anyway)
I think it’s not 100% clear what you to intend to do. So let me rephrase what I think you want:
You want the actionbar setup on your screen to stay the same in all forms. But you want the keybindings to switch from one actionbar to another actionbar.
So actionbar 2 has keybindings 1-9 in moonkinform. But when you switch to bearform you want actionbar 3 to have keybindings 1-9, with all the actionbars staying in the same place.
Is this what you meant?
If it is, I honestly don’t think that’s possible, since addons or macros can’t change keybindings during combat.
well action if go under keybindings under wow press secound link under it longest down call special what does spells set to is reason set nr one it cast it exsample 123 while click does button below where spells is when keybindings call secound link call action bars
I think the easiest solution would be to actually use this and put duplicates on your other bars. Let bar 1 handle the actual pressing of the abilities and let the other bars show you the abilities regardless of form.
Like right now, you have bar 2 for boomie and bar 3 for bear. Keep it that way, but put the spells on bar 1 too, according to form, and bind them there. And then hide the bar if you don’t wanna see it switch.
