making 5x hunters work (gather tips here)

[Solon]

I'm saying the AoE is bad because it is more difficult to keep your pets out of the AoE range. Check your facts as I thought avoidance only meant 75% avoidance, which is a huge boost, still leaves a lot of damage, generally in a hurry on bosses.

As far as flashing through targets, no, you wouldn't see anything on your unit frames, but I have built macros before where the /petattack was triggered on the wrong mob without conditions placed after it.

In fact I am tempted to dig out my old hunter team and see how they feel. I don't think pets even had talents last time I played a hunter.

Do you really need to target your pet first?

/cast [@pet,dead] Revive Pet
/assist focus

Or does that hang the macro if the pet is dead and revive is on CD? Isn't that what your current macro would do in that situation?

EDIT: I see, avoidance has been replaced by culling the herd and a natural passive AoE avoidance was implemented. Neat.
