When I switch to Bear form, this is what we get (remember, this is set to be paged to 9): While you might not be able to see me, you can hopefully see that Bar 2 has changed while Bar 1 has remained in it's cat-form state. Let's hit the Prowl button and see how things change. You can see that I'm in cat form now, and Bars 1 and 2 have changed appropriately. Here is Bar 2's State Configuration page: Now, if we have Bar 1's paging set up properly, we should see Bar 7's spells when we morph into cat form. Paging in other stances doesn't matter here because the Bar 7 itself isn't visible on its own. Meanwhile, on the State Configuation page, I ensure it defaults to it's own bar (Bar 7), but that's all I change. That's why I leave Bar 7 big and in the middle of my screen since I only use it for paging into stances, it doesn't matter what it looks like by itself. Note that no matter how you have Bar 7 set to display, when it pages into Bar 1's area it will pick up any scaling/sizing information from Bar 1. I don't want them both up at the same time, so I check all the “Hide Stance/Form” buttons in the Visibility page. I don't want to actually *see* Bar 7 all the time, because that would just clutter up my screen – I only want to see the buttons when I'm in cat form, and only in place of Bar 1. It should now disappear from your screen. When you've done that, simply go back into Bar 7's setup page and choose to hide it in all forms/stances. Open up your spellbook and put things where you want them into Bar 7. Then, “Lock” your bars so you can drag spells. So, click on Bar 7 in the BT4 menu and make sure it is both “Enabled” and visible to you – if this is the first time you're setting it up, it should be otherwise, uncheck any “Hide” boxes from the Visibility pane, so it looks like this:

Let's say I want to set up my cat form bar as Bar 7 – to do that, I need to see it so I can drag my spells into it, right? Right. So for Bar 1, I want to see the same spells when I'm in cat form, whether I'm prowling or not. This is because I've chosen to use Bar 2 to page into a different bar for Cat (prowl) – however, if I turn State Configuration off for Cat (prowl), I'd go back to this default caster state and that's not what I want. You may notice that I have Cat and Cat (prowl) as the same page number. I then do the same for Cat, Cat (prowl), Moonkin, and Tree of Life, choosing appropriate pages for each stance. This next Stance Configuration section is the meat of it all, so I'll include a little close up.įirst, when I'm in Bear Form, I want Bar 9 to show up in Bar 1's area, so I choose “” from the drop down. My Default Bar State is not to page, so this Bar 1 is what I see just standing around in normal form in this spec (resto, at the moment). “Possess Bar” is checked because Bar 1 is my main bar, and when I'm possessing a drake or something similar, I'd like to be able to know what abilities I have available. Here you can see that in “State Configuation” I have, firstly, enabled state configuration, which means Bar 1 is allowed to change its contents based on the options I choose here. Here is a detailed view of Bar 1's State Configuration tab to give you more of an idea: (Or else I'd walk around with the Ferocious Bite icon biting my head off!. These are not visible unless I hit “unlock” because these are the bars which are paged into Bar 1's location when I switch forms, and I have chosen to have them hidden at all times. Bars 1 and 2 are in the center of my screen and are the main bars I will deal with in this guide. In the screencap above, you can see that I have unlocked all of my bars, so you can see the numbers. This guide assumes you are familiar with the basics of Bartender or have read through the previous guide. This is a more advanced guide than the basic one which Shego walked us through earlier, so let's wave /farewell to Shego and /welcome our Druid, Rayve. I am by no means an expert, but after seeing some questions floating around MMO-Champion about BT4 and action bars I decided to do a write up on what the various options do. Hello, and welcome back to Rayve's guide to Bartender 4 (BT4). This deals with stances and forms so is very useful for druids and warriors, but everyone can give it a read to find ways to improve their BT4 experience.Īdvanced Setup – Paging and State Configuation
#Wow classic bartender 4 how to#
This is the second Bartender 4 guide I wrote tonight, and it's a more advanced guide, focusing mostly on State Configuration and how to set it up how you want it.
