Hunter Slave macro Help

[Treal Complexity]

So I'm fairly new to the Dual-boxing scene and just attempting to do very easy things nothing too complex at the moment.

I'm using the autohotkey program to run my two clients and figured out the scripting part. However, I am having trouble with the client macros for the hunter class.

I managed to dual-box a double warlock team to lvl 30 fine, casting on the same target, using cast sequences and nomal assist macros. My problem comes when I try to dual box hunters. I can't figure out why I the same macros I use for my caster classes will not translate for the hunters. Is it because of the manner it which Shots are performed? I've tried using macros like:

/cast [@target=focus] arcane shot

/assist focus and /assist (toon)
/cast arcane shot
as well as a /castsequence macro

Yet in the end I get nothing unless I frantically press my hotkey button, which does not always produce results.

Looking at the error log on my slave I'm getting a ton of "spell is not ready" and "there is an already an active summon".

Basically, I'm looking for help with my slave hunter macros so he'll actually start using the assigned macro'd spells.
Thanks for your input and time.

I'm not familiar with AHK but just basic macros are as follows

/castsequence [target=focustarget] reset=combat arcane shot, serpent sting,

and

i think the auto attack was

/cast [target=focustarget] !auto shot

its been awhile though.

On my hunters I simply use assist macros. I use my main to target full pvp geared warriors, like this;

/assist focus
/cast Arcane Shot

I tap the button a few times, and BOOM! Hes dead.

Just make every hunter spell like this:

/assist focus
/cast Cobra/Steady Shot

/assist focus
/cast Serpent Sting

/assist focus
/cast Kill Command.


Its pretty basic actually, just set focus on your main, and make your toons assist you with these macros

When I dual-boxed hunters I used:
/assist(toon)
/cast Hunter's Mark

Then I put my shots on actionbar keys, but I like the flexibiltiy to choose my shots based on the mob I'm attacking.

I also used:
/petattack
To get aggro on my pets first

Ok, one thing that I am noticing is that I must hold down my key presses in order to get my Slave hunter started I have to keep my hotkey held down. Afterwards every push results in a quick response, just like my casters slaves that cast with one push.

The funny thing is though, event with shots that require a cast time I have to keep the hot key held down until the action is performed.

I cant figure out if this is a latency issue, which less likely the problem if the caster slaves are casting on time, a script issue, or just bad macroi

I'm going to guess it's something to do with AutoHotKey or its script. That's not normal behavior for WoW or any of the other multiboxing programs I've used.

I use a couple that Ive morphed from the wiki site. IF you go to google and type "Wow hunter macros" one of the search results will be wiki site. There are LOADS of macros there.

As I did, pick some commands you like the most, and use often, and automate. Very easy.

I am also using AHK for multiboxing and I have never had the need to hold down the key until action was done. I am just mashing keys like no tommorow :-) Maybe you have some errors in your AHK script
