Re: Macro's
Thats a good one, but what about your pet. Sometimes when Ive feigned death, I have to sit their and watch my pet die if they cant handle it. I guess you could code it to dismiss them first, but that would take longer.Saturo wrote:For Feign Death:
Basically, the /stopcasting is to abort any spell you're casting, and then just Feign Death. This has saved me many times. The /e is just for fun, but it alerts others to your aggro problem.Code: Select all

I know what you mean, but you can sorta work around that if you try. If I'm in over my head, I Feign Death and drop aggro onto my pet. He can usually handle it for a little while. I usually then jump up and run for it while my pet distracts them, sometimes using Cheetah if there are no other mobs on your escape route. If you get far enough away, your pet despawns and doesn't die. Even if he does die, you're far enough away that the mobs can't catch up to you before they stop trying.

Re: Macro's
Code: Select all
/cast [harm] Hunter's Mark; [@focus,help,nodead][help][@pet] Misdirection
If I'm not targeting anything, it puts Misdirection on what I have set as focus.
If I have no focus, and have targeted a friendly player, they get Misdirection.
If I have no focus and no target, Misdirection on my pet.
It helps me in my dungeons/raids quite a bit.

Re: Macro's
I don't use many other macros personally, as I can manage most of what I want to do by myself. I do know some Hunter's like to macro Hunter's Mark and Kill Command into every other shot they have though. If you want to brave the WoW forums, I've found the macro boards generally have helpful people/threads. I think there are a couple good Hunter ones there...

Re: Macro's
I don't have HM in my macros since it triggers the gcd, but according to some theorycrafting you don't gain or loose anything by having all your massive dps cooldowns in a special button for special times versus triggering them whenever they're off cd. This is what I have for all my shots:Dragonpuff wrote:I do know some Hunter's like to macro Hunter's Mark and Kill Command into every other shot they have though.
Code: Select all
#showtooltip Kill Shot
/cast Rapid Fire
/cast [@pettarget,exists] Kill Command
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Kill Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Other than that, I have a few space saving macros.
For aspects, I use:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip Aspect of the Dragonhawk
/cast Aspect of the Dragonhawk
/cast Aspect of the Viper
Code: Select all
#showtooltip Aspect of the Cheetah
/cast Aspect of the Cheetah
/cast Aspect of the Pack
I haven't gotten to use this one yet, but I would have loved to have it on Gluth when I was on kiting duty and wanted to stop his enrages:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip Tranquilizing Shot
/cast [@mouseover, harm][harm] Tranquilizing Shot
No need to switch targets, just face him, mouse over, and tranq.
There's some talk recently about how pets "delay" on their attacks. They have the focus, but they don't use their skills right away. A fix to that is to add the following lines to your shots: (Please note that I haven't tested this yet.)
Code: Select all
/cast [special attack]
/use [@pettarget,harm,exists] [focus dump]
Code: Select all
/cast Furious Howl
/use [@pettarget,harm,exists] Bite
Code: Select all
/cast [pet:wolf] Furious Howl, [pet:cat] Rake
If you have all your cooldowns in your shots and add your pets skills, then, your shot macro would look as follows (with a wolf):
Code: Select all
#showtooltip Kill Shot
/cast Rapid Fire
/cast [@pettarget,exists] Kill Command
/use 10
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Furious Howl
/use [@pettarget,harm,exists] Bite
/cast Kill Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Edit 2: You mentioned Aimed Shot, so I'm guessing you were wondering if there were any macros that queued up shots? The days of macros with multiple shot types in them are long gone, we manually weave our shots now. These macros also make it easier to do so, as you just focus on shot weaving.
And I totally missed the part about being BM. You'd obviously want to add
Code: Select all
/cast Bestial Wrath
in there.
Final note (I think...): This type of macro generates a shitton of front-end damage and threat (seriously, when I first start unloading, I hit 7k dps where my average over the fight is ~3.4-4.5k). If you start with misdirect, your tank will love you forever. <3
