Druid suggestion

It's probaly been mentioned before, or even *and I hope* already implemented. But is there any way, or any way in the future, that when switching forms from oh say bear to cat, that our attack bars could switch too? Sometimes in a raid I have to switch back and forth quickly, and having to go and click the attack bar up or down a notch is sometimes just enough time to cause problems. If our bars would switch to the appropriate form, cat, bear, moonkin, tree, nightelf, stealth that'd be terrific

Your main action bar does switch when you change forms. Make sure you have the bar on page 1 (shift-1) and it will change when you change forms. Pages 2 through 6 overload that feature to give you alternate bars. That's how Bliz designed it... so only page 1 changes when you change forms.

hmmm maybe i'm not setting it up right

when setting it up do I put in my attacks while in bear from, then switch to cat, put in my attacks, etc? and then it should automatically switch?

That is correct... press "shift-1" to switch to main action bar to page one, then shift into bear form. Set the bar up how you want it in that form. Then shift to cat form and the bar should change... set it up for kitty form, etc. You should have one bar each for caster, bear and kitty form. I can't remember, but I think you get one for tree/moonkin form, too, which I believe is the same bar as the one at the bottom right of the nUI dashboard which is a story all it's own (there's a FAQ for it if you want to know more about that)

EDIT I just read actually that option isn't available yet so i'll just make it so I can access it easily. thanks

Yep, you do indeed get one for tree and one for moonkin with the moonkin one being the one on the right hand side. I basically leave the right hand side buttons alone (usually crafting items there so that characters has it moved elsewhere).

This is how the default Blizzard bar works as well: kitties don't get their own "stealth" bar like rogues because "prowl" isn't considered stance, unlike the rogue Stealth.

If you want a way to get around this, try creating some simple macros like:

Code:
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Pounce; Ferocious Bite
Code:
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Ravage; Rip
Those macros will change their buttons (choose the ? for the icon when creating) and tooltips to Pounce or Ravage when prowling, otherwise leaves it as Ferocious Bite or Rip (or any other non-stealth abilities; I use finishing moves since when prowling the target will probably not have any combo points on it to allow for finishing moves).

Hope that helps some.
