Hunter Question

[crowdx]

So as an update, I moved my BM hunter off his old realm and put him into my group, He is mostly in blues and need some work but I already think the dps looks a lot more consistant than MM.
I got a devilsaur also for this toon and am busy leveling the new pet now.
Thanks for the pointers

thanks for the advice, i wansnt aware of the "null" pointer in a macro.

I rewrote my MM macros compleatly

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/assist "tankname"
/petattack
/startattack
/cast !Auto-Shot
/castrandom Chimera Shot,
/castsequence reset=target Hunter's Mark, Serpent Sting, null,
/castsequence reset=9 Chimera Shot,
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Kill Command
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

This is now an awesome MM macro that is also very viable for Single play MM hunters also, it will MARK, STING before CS but not recast HM or SS before i switch targets.

Love this forum!!! (and the ppl in it)

Sorry for the hijack and i realise it became a Marco theme, but the macros and class viability is very closely knitted together in this discussion

I believe the null in your castsequence will stop this macro from completing. You need to visit the /click macro thread to see how to get null in there. I could be wrong though!

No thats the beauty of it, don't know if its a bug or if blizzard didnt think of that combo but once i learned to use a combo of castsequence and castrandom my macros became very powerfull

I personally dont like the klickmacros hence i use the combo i mentioned for all my hunter macros.

Macro with all non-abilities deleted:

/cast !Auto-Shot
/castrandom Chimera Shot,
/castsequence reset=target Hunter's Mark, Serpent Sting, null,
/castsequence reset=9 Chimera Shot,
/cast Kill Command

So you turn on Auto-Shot, pop a Hunter's Mark and Serpent Sting and then just Chimera Shot? This is good dps? What about Kill Shot, Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot, Steady Shot? You just Auto-Shot during the 10s cooldown?

No, it was merly a sollution to a problem i have had with MM macros and a problem you have when boxing hunters as per the ORIGINAL posters question hence my recomendation to go BM since its way easier to Macro a BM hunter then a MM hunter.

It feels a bit like you jumped into the discussion without reading all posts

anyway, my macro had atm nothing really to do with MM dps but for the moment it was a test to solve how to weave serpent sting into a MM macro without recasting it since CS refreshes it when it is cast.

I use a variant of my previously posted BM macro for Aimed and Steady, Arcane is left out.

basically i use Q E R T and F mapped to different macros depending on situation (with keyclone)

Are you running a mixed group? How are you pressing multiple buttons for dps and monitoring cooldowns? The whole beauty of the /click approach is a 1-button priority system that overcomes cooldown hell.
