MM Hunter macro?

[Lyonheart]

I'm going to start working on an MM Hunter click macro. If someone here has one that is working for you, please post it. Ill post what i come up with if i get it working good.

Khatovar had one in the Fursphere's click castsequence thread.
It had the cast random at the end, which broke a while ago.
I adapted my hunter sequence from it, but cannot seem to find the original.

It was something like this:

Hunter's Mark, Null (reset=target)
Serpent Sting, Null (reset=target)
Arcane Shot (Comma's for 6 seconds, reset=combat)
Multi-Shot (Comma's for 10 seconds, reset=combat)
Chimera Shot (Comma's for 10 seconds, reset=combat)
Steady Shot as the Fall through

you want to re apply serpent sting right? so why the null?

lol nm.. chim shot refreashes the SS

This was the original, but as Ualaa said, it is very dated, with no Null use and castrandom as a catch-all. I haven't played Marks in ages.

I have a BM macro that would probably be better to try and adapt in the new macro thread/wiki. If nothing else, grab the 1-button tracking macro out of there assuming you have points in Improved Tracking.

You know its interesting that multi-shot is always left out of DPS rotations on various sites.

Sure, its a great ability on trash, but is it worth it on bosses?

[Ualaa]

Arcane Shot deals (RAP x 0.15 + 492) and costs 5% of base mana.
Steady Shot deals (RAP x 0.10 + 252) and costs 5% of base mana (+175 Dmg to snared targets).
Chimera shot deals (125% weapon damage) and costs 12% of base mana.

Multi-Shot is listed as (an additional 408 damage), and costs 9% of base mana.

9% makes it almost twice as expensive as Arcane/Steady shot, but not sure how damaging against a single target. According to the hunter ability page on wowwiki, it is the 2nd hardest shot behind Aimed Shot (and discounting Kill Shot). So basically twice the mana cost, but hits a single target harder then the others.

I would imagine, a click macro would run on several as easily as on one.
The trick is coming up with a macro that is as optimal as possible.

I like hunters, in that they have strong single and aoe dps.
But dislike how they auto switch to melee attacks which breaks follow.
IWT is less useful for ranged groups, as I prefer them to stay ranged.

I found the same problem with a hunter, but follow strobe fixed most of it. Now if he would stop needing on BOP Plate gear, dam huntard

Thats why I switched to MM as soon as I had the starts to do it. MM has no procs to worry about. Just cooldowns for rapid fire.. rediness..ect. The rotation is pretty reliable. Surv you HAVE to watch for lock and load procs, which makes boxing as surv inefficient.

BW is easy to macro but does poor DPS still compared to MM or surv.

edit note: btw, in 5 mans I find BW does around the same dps as MM. MM kicks its ass in raids though. In fact I was doing about 2-3k average in 5 mans with all 3 builds. If your ONLY doing 5 mans.. take your pick.
