Hello everyone,
Here a little bit on druid stances and how to use the bongos addon. It's a minor thing to do, but it's a great help. What basically happens after you have set your settings, is that your bars change as you change, meaning you don't have a clutter of spells in your screen.
What's the fuzz?
Simple, bearform will show you bear spells, catform cat spells, normal/traveling form will show you your casting spells and moonkin form your moonkin spells. Depending on the spec ofc. I'm a healer so I'm going to give you an example as to how I set my bars for a healer.
Meaning: normal/tree form will be casting and healing spells, bear form bear spells, etc.
What addons do I use?
Bongos (I think bongos2, will have to check) for the bars, clique + grid for the healing spells so I don't have to put healing spells in my bars. If you want to heal someone that is not if your group, use their portrait as a healing bar.
How to set them?
Download the addon(s), unzip them into your World of Warcraft Classic>Interface>Addons folder.
Log in to the game.
Type /Bongos
In the general tab, unmark 'lock bars'.
Now you can rightclick the bars to set them however you like.
Personally, I use bar 1-3 for change, while leaving my fourth bar on top and unaffected. This way you can add spells there that you don't want to change on every form. But you can play around with the settings and see what works best for you. Going on with my example, you now have this:
bar 4
bar 3
bar 2
bar 1
Now I'm going to set my stances.
In the Bongos addon, go the the Stances tab and click 'add'.
Set bar to 1-1,
set stance to 'bear',
set offset to 4,
click accept.
Add a new one.
Now set bar to 2-2,
set stance to 'bear',
set offset to 4,
click accept.
Add a new one.
Now set bar to 3-3,
set stance to 'bear',
set offset to 4,
click accept.
You now have your bars 5, 6 and 7 as a place to put your bearspells in. Make the bars invisible after you are done. If you now swap from humanoid form to bear form your spells change to your bear spells.
In this case, to use bars 8, 9 and 10, use offset 7. Basically you need to see it like this: if you want to use bar 10 for bar 2 on stance change, it's 10-2= offset = 8. Want bar 2 to change to bar 9 when shapeshifting? 9-2 = offset 7.
You have a specific bar for stances, but I like to put my stances in my fourth bar. This way everything is equally big in your screen, which looks nice and tidy.
All of this leaves a huges open screen and more than enough space for your healing addon. Enjoy!
