In World of Warcraft, the [stance] conditional (also known as [form]) allows macros to execute different actions depending on your current stance, shapeshift, or form.
/cast [stance:#] Spell1; [stance:#] Spell2; DefaultSpell
stance:# or form:# checks if you are in a specific stance/form.
You can use multiple stance conditionals to cast different abilities.
The macro falls back to the default action if no stance is active.
​
Example:
/cast [stance:1] Battle Shout; [stance:2] Defensive Stance; [stance:3] Berserker Rage
-
Battle Stance (1) → Casts Battle Shout
-
Defensive Stance (2) → Casts Defensive Stance
-
Berserker Stance (3) → Casts Berserker Rage

Final Notes
[stance] and [form] are interchangeable.
Stance numbers can change in expansions where stances are removed or altered.
Check your class mechanics to ensure the correct stance numbers for your spec/version of WoW
