Lightning Breath: Windserpent question

Unread post by simonm »

Is there a way you ensure that your windserpent only uses Lightning Breath?

My windserpent knows LB, Growl, Bite, and Dive. LB is the first ability, followed by Growl, Bite, and Dash. I have turned off the autocast for Bite, Growl, and Dive (while raiding), but the windserpent casts 1 LB and then closes to melee (and usually dies to some cleave).

I don't think any pet could ever be set to "ranged only". Best you could do perhaps is put it on passive, cast LB when available and then call it back each time.
A macro here would probably be best.

Darknez is right. It requires micromanaging your pet so it only casts lightning breath and then comes back since once it doesn't have enough focus for lightning breath it will go in to melee.

I have my pet set on passive, and macro my attacks like:

#showtooltip Aimed Shot
/cast Lightning Breath
/petpassive
/cast Aimed Shot

and I have Growl & Bite turned off....
