Hybrid Regrowth / Starfire
An optional third caster help/harm key for all Druid specs: Regrowth for an ally or Starfire for your selected enemy. Feral uses it only for deliberate caster support.
This macro is based on research and still needs testing in game. Check the requirements and known limits before trying it.

Targeting and features
Alt: yourself — Regrowth → Otherwise: living friendly mouseover — Regrowth → Otherwise: living friendly current target — Regrowth → Otherwise: living hostile current target — Starfire → No matching branch: no cast
Requirements
- Regrowth learned; source first-learning level 12. Starfire learned; source first-learning level 20. Each branch needs its own learned spell; selecting a spec does not grant either spell.
- Both spells are cast-time Mana spells. Be in a form that permits the chosen spell; Moonkin Form does not permit Regrowth.
Known limitations
- Researched design, not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, acquisition and form behavior may change.
- The first matching branch wins. An out-of-range, obstructed, unlearned or otherwise unusable heal does not fall through to damage; resource or cooldown failure does not choose another spell.
- Moonkin Form blocks healing in the current source. Cat/Bear forms are not a shared caster-heal and caster-damage bar. Leave an incompatible form deliberately; this macro contains no /cancelform, form selection or return-to-form action.
- Automatic unshifting, form action-bar paging and casting from each form depend on actual client behavior and settings. No one-press shift-and-heal result is established; test before use in combat.
- A living friendly mouseover takes priority over your selected enemy. Move the cursor off friendly units and frames when you intend to deal damage. Keep dedicated damage and tank buttons accessible.
- Alt explicitly selects yourself. Keep Alt plus this key free of conflicting bindings; older standalone Druid support keys use Shift self instead.
- With no living friendly mouseover and no living friendly or hostile target, the unmodified key does nothing. Hold Alt deliberately for self-healing. Enemy mouseover does not redirect the harmful action.
- One press attempts one spell. No rotation, health/proc check, cooldown fallback, /stopcasting or /startattack command is included. Existing attack state and actual spell behavior still need client checks.
- English spell names only. Unranked casts use a learned rank selected by the client; reference IDs do not force the first rank.
- Regrowth is learned earlier than Starfire in the source. Before learning Starfire, a selected hostile target attempts that unavailable action; it does not fall back to healing or Wrath.
- Regrowth combines direct and periodic healing; Starfire is a separate cast-time damage spell. The pairing does not equate their cast time, efficiency or priority.
Notes
- Druid hybrid set researched 27 September 2026. Keep Healing Touch / Wrath, Rejuvenation / Moonfire and optional Regrowth / Starfire on consistent positions across Balance, Feral Combat and Restoration. These are ergonomic recommendations, not measured damage, healing or mana optima.
- Feral Combat includes both Cat and Bear play. These pairs provide caster support after a deliberate form decision, not a replacement for Cat generators, Bear threat, Growl or defensives. Leaving Bear form to heal can sacrifice tank protection.
- All hybrid keys use Alt self, living friendly mouseover, living friendly target, then living hostile target. Select the question-mark icon and verify dynamic tooltip behavior in the client.
- Sharing a key gives the spells no mechanical bonus and does not cast them together. Keep Swiftmend, Wild Growth, Nature's Swiftness, emergency support and dispels separately accessible when learned or talented.

- Optional third pair: adds a distinct direct-plus-periodic heal and a distinct caster damage spell without moving the first two pairs or repeating their actions.
- Balance players can choose Starfire manually when their actual talents make it appropriate. This key does not read Eclipse, consume charges deliberately, or sequence Wrath and Starfire.
