Excellent advice on the hunters vs. melee Nikita....I gotta start thinking of kill command as more than just my fallthrough cast on my dps macros.
I went with a priest, just makes more sense in the long run. I haven't played hunters since BC, I love the new changes:
No happiness (YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!!)
No ammo
No mana
So awesome. I don't plan on running heroics or anything with this group, mainly to just mess around with when I'm bored. If they can run some normal instances between 80-85 I'll be satisfied.
Sorry to ask but.. Do i take 2x turtles? Or just one turtle tank the rest dps pets? PvE ofcourse :-)Quote:

Anyone have some MM hunter macros? I have only seen SV and BM
Should basically be the same, just a different kind of shot.
#show arcane shot
/castsequence reset=1 !Aspect of the Hawk, null
/castsequence arcane shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/petattack [target=pettarget,noexists]
#showtooltip Cobra Shot
/castsequence reset=1 !Aspect of the Fox, null
/cast rapid fire
/cast blood fury
/castsequence reset=6 Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot, Cobra Shot
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/petattack [target=pettarget,noexists]
#showtooltip Bestial Wrath
/castsequence reset=1 !Aspect of the Fox, null
/cast Call of the Wild
/cast Rabid
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
#show Kill Shot
/castsequence reset=1 !Aspect of the Hawk, null
/cast Kill Shot
#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/castsequence reset=10 !trap launcher, !Freezing Trap(Frost - Trap Launcher)
I just started MBing with my hunter. I modified Merc's survival macro to the following. It definitely needs tweaking. The first macro I used as a solo spam button and it worked quite well. The proc macro needs work. Input is always welcome.Quote:

I just tested this and did just over 11k on the raid target dummy in ilvl 330 gear.

On your hunter tank I strongly advice to get the 2 set bonus from tier5. Go check the bonus out on wowhead. And stack shitlaods of stamina and stamina/mastery proc trinkets on your tanking hunter
I think Hunters + healer are probably, next to arcane mages, the best possible PvE team.
With the pets tanking some of the 10 man raid content I would not be shocked in the least if most heroics once you get geared out, are more or less faceroll. Send pets, blow up with arcane/steady spam. Keep mend up and keep your heals ticking on the main tank. Set your healer to heal via a target of target macro.
Set your heals up in isboxer something like this.
Step 1
Target the target of your target.
Set focus
In another keybind
Heal focus via this macro
'/cast [target=focus,exists][target] (whatever heal you are using)
That macro will heal your focus if you have one, otherwise it will heal your target, or yourself if you cannot heal your target!
Probably setup a focus macro to quickly reset your focus to whatever the target is DPSing. Have a second key to actually do the heal.
So like key 1 = set focus off of target of target.
Key 2 = heal focus or target if no focus set.
Im running 4x hunter 1x priest.. Im playing the healer my self. Ive changed to that setup now. 1x Bear 1x turtle 1x Wolf (for crit) 1x Core Hound for Bloodlust. :-)Quote:

I have allways prefered BM. Its a simple rotation! Hunters Mark, Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot until 0 focus, then spam cobra shot. Keep KC on CD :)
Ive allways used a turtle and bear on my hunters. The turle is MT, and the bear is OT. The rest of my hunters uses DPS pets such as tiger, devilsaur, and shale spider for kings buff.
I posted something about my hunter team
I considered posting in this thread but thought it might get more attention in its own thread so i started a new one in general and it got moved to the New To Multiboxing section (where I believe that it will be viewed mostly by newer more inexperienced boxers so input will be minimal) I do welcome input from anyone new guys and old pros alike i just think that the more experienced boxers among us might have more to say about what I've asked I would expect that the long in the tooth fellows might even pick apart everything that is wrong with what I'm doing
So i guess I'll just link it if you guys don't mind

If you have suggestions post replies here or there I will check both lol
thanks
Check out page 4 in the PvP Discussion forum. Ive made a post there about my hunter setup
