5.1 Hunter MM Macros and Setup

[honeypot2011]

Will always have most uptodate macros on this post,see date for update

Hi

As the question has been asked,its a good question too..

"Not trying to be rude but what does this have to do with multi-boxing?"

I would hope this would help anyone solo or multiboxing people,these macros can be used across multiple toons,and i plan to use them myself on my 5 when they are leveled up,i also find for me its a help to get them up and running on 1 toon,then i'll know if
they will work across the others.

I do multibox myself and will hope to add some vids here sometime,if my post is not deemed right for the forum,i am ok if it needs to be deleted,my macros are unconventional,weird,messy things,but they work ok,or seem too,i am no expert,but i am just sharing this for any other mm hunters or may be interested..just to explain.

Introduction

Having been a long time player of BM spec,i have recently been giving MM a run through,and finding it quite good at the moment

I am in the process of leveling up my other hunters,they are a little lower than my main 90,and so i have also been "testing" solo these macros etc

So i can put them to use when i am 5 boxing.

On this page i will share the talents,glyphs,macros etc that i am using a the minute,and show some of this in action..

So before the wall of text..here is 3 short videos showing the macros in action..

Small disclaimer here..This is too show the macros in action,i am not too bad in pvp,but this isnt to show my skills or lack of skills,and i do realise that playing solo and playing 5 boxing is a different kettle of fish..i am hoping however that 5 times this ..could/should work at least in a similar fashion..

Music in one of videos was'nt added post edit,was playing in background,best viewed in 720hd if you change the quality.

In no particular order..







Thats those out the way


Talents

Narrow Escape - i like this because of the web trap when you disengage

Binding Shot - just trying this at the moment,was previously silencing shot

Exhilaration - for the added last minute 30% heal and 100% heal of pet

Dire Beast - Thrill of the hunt is a nice option here too,but i like to see the enemy have something to think about when its beating on them

Blink Strike - I like the instant damage,and its only on a 20 sec cooldown

Glaive Toss - powershot i quite like( may get buffed in 5.2,would be nice to use it on the move,looks like at the expense of glaive toss)


Glyphs

major

Marked for death - applies hunter's mark when you use arcane shot,kill command etc

Glyph of aimed shot - Great to be able to use aimed shot on the move

Glyph of Camouflage - Great to go stealthy when in trouble or to sneek to flag capture etc


Minor


Glyph of aspect of the cheetah - mainly im in hawk aspect,but this glyphed no longer causes the daze effect

Fetch - just for lazing looting

No 3rd glyph yet


Gear

I am trying to get full conquest malevolent pvp set,and have 6 pieces as of this post,the others are dreadful gladiator pieces

I am mainly stat wise going toward crit and haste as my primary stats..

Hit and expertise are at 3.25 and 3.41 so i have 0 hit on level 90's

Gems and enchants are a mixture of pvp power and resilence,agilty etc..


To see all the above and enchants gear etc..my armoury is here below

Macros


If you have seen my BMhunter macros you will know what to expect.

They are not pretty ,they may have multiple castsequences,drop through casts..they are big(hence bindpad)

I have spent lots of time on dummies and in-game trying these out,and they do work..

These are all the keys i use in combat,there are others but they are the usual mounting,etc type things..





Movement keys are W,S,A,D


Main Macros

*Please note most/not all these require "bindpad" the macro extender to use..

http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/bind-pad


MM Transcatt Macro - Mouse middle button - requires bindpad

This macro is mainly a focus builder,but on its own it packs a punch once its up to speed,works well in pve and pvp situations

I have 2 versions of this macro which i will post below and explain what is different about them


version1..original

/startattack
/petattack
/petdefensive 
/cast aimed shot!
/castsequence reset=target serpent sting,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot, Steady Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot 
/castsequence reset=target blink strike,dire beast,aimed shot 
/castrandom chimera shot,arcane shot,steady shot,tranquilizing shot,dire beast 
/castsequence reset=120 Rapid Fire,arcane shot,arcane shot,Readiness,rapid fire 
/use 13 
/use 14 
/cast aimed shot! 
/cast kill shot 
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

2nd version -- this is the one i am using a the moment

/startattack
/petattack
/petdefensive
/cast aimed shot!
/castsequence reset=120 rapid fire,arcane shot,arcane shot
/castsequence reset=target serpent sting,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot, Steady Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot,steady shot
/castsequence reset=target blink strike,glaive toss,dire beast,aimed shot,chimera shot
/castrandom chimera shot,arcane shot,steady shot,tranquilizing shot,dire beast
/castsequence reset=120 arcane shot,arcane shot,readiness
/use 14
/cast aimed shot!
/cast kill shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Updated -- 1/1/2013

Here is a video of this macro on its own used on the dummies



Explanation

The original version1 is the one used in the video.
The reason there is 2 versions is version 1 works fine,but the rapid fire part of the macro i am not sure benefits the way it is
positioned in the macro,and version 2 moving rapid fire higher up the macro and enclosing the macro,lower down with the second rapid fire and readiness..helped with a delay for the second rapid fire to fire off..
to explain.when rapid fire goes off 1st time..in version 2 it will tick for the whole of its 15 sec time,then readiness should go off,resetting the cooldowns and then rapid fire can fire off again...
Also timed over time version 2 seems to put out more dps.

Summary

Not trying to be rude but what does this have to do with multi-boxing?

[honeypot2011]

Hi ticks

No thats ok..i did mention if you read at the begining about the what it has to do with multiboxing,

Also some people can use a solo macro to use across other toons they multibox with.

I also say this is a testbed to see they work in solo,so i know they will work when i do my multiboxing..with 5 hunters

And for any player solo or multiboxing they can have a try and see if they work for them too..


honey..

Not trying to be rude but what does this have to do with multi-boxing?

Ticks, not to be rude, but you may or may not have realized that some players, including myself, have come here for years looking for macros to use solo since rotation macros are severely discouraged on many other forums, and the folks who multi-box are generally quite good at and accepting of macros.

My hope is that while some of us use these macros for solo purposes and others for multi-boxing, the sharing of what works and what does not as Blizz changes stuff is beneficial to both groups.

[Lyonheart]

Thank you Honypot! these work great on my "multibox" hunters!

Not trying to be rude but what does this have to do with multi-boxing?

Not trying but succeeding....

[ebony]

nice setup and post.

still think hunters are kite master then stand there most players just LOS me and do it from behind.......... as MM. when BM was better as the pets could do a good job.

solo stuff works if you got a mixed group your going to need a single char setups.

[honeypot2011]

Halabar,Lyonheart and Ebony Thankyou for you kind words

I have updated the mmtranscatt macro version 2.in the main post above..nothing spectacular..but when i changed it..just copy pasted over the above macro.and i had a gap playing so not sure what i changed lol..



But earlier in the day...i tried adding some chimera shots..made some nice dps gains..but costs more focus..added another steady shot and it seems to work ok.

if you want to try it..just make the version 2 macro like this

This is really for me a focus builder..but can be used on his own..seems to work pvp and pve..ok

kill shot is a pain as when the target is that low on hp its dead anyway.

Hi

Couldn't fit this in main post as i ran out of space and did'nt reserve a post oops lol

Has to do with traps..how do you hunter's handle your trap laying?

my new way is this..

on the F1,F2,F3 F4 = F1 Freezing trap , F2 Snake trap , F3 Explosive trap , F4 ice trap

These are just pure keybinds,and i use the trap launcher to turn on/off the ring for positioning..which is great for the entrance to drek,between the towers to lay down some traps..but

IF you get into a fight,and i'm kiting an enemy and i want to lay down a trap or two,behind me i don't want to be thinking about turning on/off the trap launcher.

and thinking im laying a trap when really the damn green circle is popping on and off and i'm not laying a trap :P.

Same thing when i'm in a fight and have to use the scatter shot macro.

#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/castsequence [@target,harm][harm] reset=3 Scatter Shot, Trap Launcher, !Freezing Trap
/petpassive
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

which will turn on the launcher..too and if i did not notice it,again i'm spamming my traps and nothings happening apart from the old green circle.

So now i have setup on F5,F6,F7,F8 separate macros that turn off the trap launcher if its on for some reason,and hey presto traps layed down without worrying

The traps are in the same order as above but with this macro on each.with different trap of course.

/cancelaura trap launcher
/cast freezing trap

So now F1 to F5 use the launcher and pressing the trap on/trap off

F5 to F8 cancel the trap launcher no matter what and just let you place traps at your feet with out thinking if the launcher is on or off

Probably theres is some kind of mod + alt shift way of doing this..but found the above way seems to work ok..

How do you guys do it?
