Shifty

Shifty makes Druid tanking easier and safer, especially in Hardcore.

Shifty creates a Power Shift macro with Maul built in, and you can fine-tune exactly when it triggers. It automatically updates as your stats, gear, level, and talents change. Drag the macro from your character's macro tab onto your action bars and you're ready to go - then customise it to dial in your ideal playstyle.

When you're solo or tanking in Hardcore, running out of mana is dangerous, especially if you're pushing extra damage or threat with Power Shifting. Shifty makes sure you always keep enough mana in reserve to drink a potion, Sprint away in Cat Form, or heal when you need to.

What is Power Shifting?

Power Shifting is an advanced Feral Druid technique that gives you energy or rage quicker by shifting out of a form and immediately back into it. With the right talents and gear - like Furor or Wolfshead Helm - this effectively lets you trade mana for rage.

Features

Mana safety net - automatically pauses Power Shifting once your mana drops below a percentage you choose.

Rage safety cap - stops you wasting rage by shifting too late, with a small buffer built in.

Bear and Dire Bear support - works in both forms for better tanking threat, Shifty can detect if Dire Bear form is learned otherwise it will use Bear Form.

Built-in Maul - included right in the macro.

Aggressive or Conservative modes - or go fully custom with sliders for complete control.

Auto-updating - recalculates your ideal switch point as your gear or level changes.

GCD-aware - checks you're not on cooldown before shifting, so you never get stuck out of form.

Character-specific - macro are added to a tab just for that character, so they won't clutter your other toons. It also won't add the Maul macro to non-Druid toons.

Customisable Alert overlay - that tells you when to press the macro. The alert is triggered when Maul is ready (off GCD and enough rage), and when to Power Shift (above mana threshold and below rage cap).

New: there is a Macro creator for Items. It will use an item only when there is enough mana to get back into form. It will adjust based on your character's stats, however it isn't tied to your the sliders in the Maul macro.
