Winfield, BC | [WotLK] New Hunter Macros So any hunters come up with some new macros for the new patch? I have some ideas but I'm at work right now so I cant find anything really.
Anyone come up with a new steady shot that works? Any help on this would be great! |

Anyone come up with a new steady shot that works? Any help on this would be great! I've just added aimed shot to my /castrandom in my 1.5:1 macro. Only change. Works fine, and there shouldn't be too much in the way of problems with any of them since timing isn't as much a factor anymore as of 2.4.something when steady shot stopped slipping auto shot. |

| i don't have anynew ones. just the same OLD ones....
Here is the current macro i use in raids. it is a max DPS macro and mana heavy macro.
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pet, dead]; [nopet]; [target=pettarget, exists] Kill
Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Here is an Alt i found for the same macro:
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/cast [target=pet, dead]; [nopet]; [target=pettarget, exists] Kill
Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
These are all out DPS and mana burners and only shoot Auto Shot and
Steady Shot.
Here is one for steady shot and arcane shot:
/castsequence reset=5 auto shot, steady shot, auto shot, arcane shot,
auto shot, steady shot, auto shot, arcane shot
the reset for the bow off huntsman "Steel Hawk Crossbow" has a reset of
3. |

The "!" isn't needed anymore, they fixed the reason for having it. And since making Steady not clip Auto, timing isn't really important, either. It's still in my macro, though.
My macro is the same as the second, with the addition of another scripting line, don't remember what it was though. And on top of that, since I'm MM, there's a /castrandom for adding the instant cast shots. A bit more robust than the /castsequence from Don69Fire's post, easier to get to the ideal 1.5:1.
After the Kill Command line:
/castrandom Arcane Shot, Multishot, Aimed Shot
And a second macro has this for when multi is a bad thing to do:
/castrandom Arcane Shot, Aimed Shot
Except that ratios aren't *as* important anymore, again because Steady Shot doesn't clip Auto Shot. |

I noticed timings didnt matter anymore while going off on Dummies in Org.
My build is 0/10/51. No real reason for it. Just like it and my guild encouraged me to be a mana battery.
I am sure its nothing amazing that totally unbuffed I was pushing 1k dps so easily. I was just spamming whatever was Not on CD and sadly noticed Arcane Shot now shares the CD Of Explosive shot.
To save my self frustration would the following work?
/castrandom Multishot, Explosive Shot, Arcane shot
I know that isnt a very CC friendly line up.

I use something like
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pet, dead]; [nopet]; [target=pettarget, exists] Kill
Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
I just wasnt sure if we needed to change it since the new patch and the new cast time for steady shot. Happy to see these are all still working.
Thanks for the feed back guys! |

said by DC Denton:To save my self frustration would the following work? /castrandom Multishot, Explosive Shot, Arcane shot I haven't looked too much at explosive shot. I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as it doesn't have a hidden cast time. I don't know if they made it so that no shots clip auto shot or just steady.
The way to find out is to just attack a dummy with it in there and without and see what the change is to your dps. Do it over a significant time, go all out for one mana bar and keep track of time. Then for the other. Provides two useful pieces of information on single targets, dps and how long you can sustain full dps.
Of course, these macros are kind of moot when you're levelling outside of instances. On normal kills what is more important is finding where kill speed is most efficient vs. resources used. There's no need to shoot at a raid rate. It's getting expensive to fill a quiver. |

| well i have found that as a 51 SV hunter i can sustain constant DPS with never taking a mana pot. go til you get the low mana warning in aspect of the hawk and then switch to aspect of the viper and hit xplosive shot, arcane shot, auto shot and in about 3 seconds i am full mana again. then swich back to aspect of the hawk. so i always use my max DPS shot macro and now spam arcane, multi and explosive shot. since there is no clipping... wooooot wooooot.... |

1:1 macros don't need changing.
3:2 or 1.5:1 macros using castsequencing would probably need to be reworked.
Just speculating since I haven't played my hunter since the patch. |

I find this one works just as well as it used to before the patch (3:2 steady shot), the only change being the 'castrandom' on the pet kill command.
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/cast Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
I saw a friend using it on her hunter, and it seemed to clear up the 'getting stuck on spells' issue I always had. No, none of the patches ever resolved that for me, I continued to get stuck on spells well after this was supposed to have been fixed.
I have created a new MM macro, going to try MM for a few weeks to see how that works out. Mostly though it's the same as my BM macro, it just includes a castrandom for the occasional aimed shot / arcane shot. |

Has anyone been having trouble trying to get the feed pet macro to work with exotics? Since i have mutiple pets I use the
/cast Feed Pet
/use [pet:cat] Roasted Clefthoof
/use [pet:Warp Stalker] Telari Grapes
/use [pet:Core Hound] Roasted Clefthoof
Works for all my other pets just not for the new exotics, any ideas? |
