Casting Rank 1 of a spell, how?

If the spell is in my action bar, it automatically updates every time I get a new rank, right? If I just want to cast rank 1, can I drag the rank 1 icon from my spell book to my action bar, or is there another way?

Thanks!

Yes and yes.

Drag it to the bar if you want, or make a macro (the '9' key casts CoR, shift-9 casts Rank-1 CoR).

Edit:

For example, pull up your macro editor and copy/paste this into a new macro:
Quote:
/cast [button:2] Curse of Recklessness (Rank 1); Curse of Recklessness
Stick that thing on your action bar. Clicking it casts your highest CoR; right-clicking it casts rank 1.
Still, Google:
warlock macros rank
for some samples

Yeah that's how you do it. No other way as far as I know.

Thanks for the macro! I'll do that, and, as if you hadn't guessed, CoR is the one I was wondering about. So I guess warlocks are also mind readers!

Corruption 1 on offtanked mobs for increased chance of NF procs?

Still working towards NF, but thanks for that tip, I'll remember that! Just focusing right now on learning all about my spells/talents and how best to use them.

Has anyone done the math on using up the global cooldowns doing this vs spamming shadowbolt/incinerate? I don't imagine an instant SB would be worth it... could be wrong tho...

It would not be worth it for rank 1. Anyways, I don't see the point of casting a rank 1 corruption when you can spend the same amount of time casting a max rank corruption (max rank corruption should not pull aggro from off-tanked mobs if that is the only dot on it).
