2 TALENTS 1 KEYBIND

This macro puts two talents in the same talent row on a singular keybind. For example, Feral Druids on their 6th talent row have 2 active skills: Brutal Slash (column 2) and Primal Wrath (coulmn 3). If I wanted to make 1 button that could cast either skill based on what I chose, the macro would look like this (for your macro, replace 6 with your talents’ row, and 2 or 3 with the talents’ column):

#showtooltip
/cast [talent:6/2] Brutal Slash
/cast [talent:6/3] Primal Wrath
