Since BM is becoming more and more of a problem, I went back to take a look at MM again. The macro below works, but Glaive Toss isn't firing off quite on cooldown, so this could be improved, also need to test adding the sting. (I also use a separate pet attack macro for sending in the pet and the sting).



/castsequence reset=combat Chimera Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot,
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,2,Fervor
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,Blink Strike
/castsequence reset=0.5 Glaive Toss


This does about 40-45k dps in scenarios and soloing, a bit higher in raids, with a 475 ilvl with poor gemming and chants.

Any suggestions for improvement? I'd like to get the Glaive Toss closer on cooldown.

Hi halabar :)

It's a nice macro,i also have been dabbling with mm and i am putting together..a no doubt huuge post lol..showcasing my macros,setup etc videos are ready,just have to get the time to sit down and type it out :)

as for improvements,i would personally replace the chimera shot with the serpent sting,by the time it ends the sequence,should be ready to reapply the sting when it starts over..or add in a castsequence serpent sting,null thing..adding in a castrandom with a couple of things would work too.
I had been trying to get kill shot to work,and that is/was a huge pain..things i have found is glaive toss followed by a kill shot will work nicely..not the other way round..
Also having say a murder of crows in a macro for some reason stops kill shot from firing properly
I have in the end ended up really using kill shot on its on key..
I also use bindpad for bigger macros..so i have some really weird and wonderful macros..to look at the macro designer would turn in his grave.so to speak
If youve seen my bm macros you'll know what to expect..lol..but they do the job..somehow..
Back to your macro..i would use that 1 really as a focus filler...and use another macro as the main arcane macro to do damage..
If i get chance i'll try post mine later.as a tease..here the MMtranscatt macro i am using..

It's not pretty..theres a lot of it,and no doubt it may be ripped to pieces..but it works..COMBINED with my other macros..but you can try this on a dummie ans see what you think :P



/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()


I'll give explanation in write up..but some things..aimed shot! like this will fire off when it procs,2 of them just to cover in case..
I flooded my macros with kill shot to try get it fire off..not really successful but i leave it,just in case :)
The rapid fire,readiness macro has the 2 arcanes so that rapid fire will run its full time before readiness fires and then rapid fires again..it was orignailly 2 chimera shots inbetween ,and i may turn it back to that.need to experiment a bit more with it.
But this is just the build focus macro after my arcane macro has been spammed..
Mainly i pvp,but this could be ok in pve situations..raids etc..havent used it like that so i cannot say..but this stays steady on its own legs,a little slow to start,but once it gets going..it picks up nicely
Bindpad used to make the huuuge macro..

Does castrandom work? I thought it was removed a while ago.

Since 3.2, /castrandom selects one spell from the list on first use and tries to cast it until it is successfully cast. It cannot be used anymore to create "use first ready spell" macros.
