Hunter macro MOP experiment

[honeypot2011]

Hi Mokoi

With the chimera casting froststorm breath,its still doing its normal damage,and all regular attacks,bite,frostbreath etc..

its actually better because as there is no focus to cast froststorm breath its just spams all the time..doing damage all the time..

The part where DPS maybe a little down..would be to do with the transcatt macro...because this is not a straight arcane,cobra macro

it contains other spells too,like tranquilizing shot,widow venom,concussive shot etc..

It does do good damage,but its an all in one macro...to slow the enemy,remove shield from a paladin,priest,lower healing etc


I would send you here,its an updated version that i am using now,scroll down and youll see the macros and video in the same post...

The transcatt macro in that post had problems though,i will re-edit it,and if you go to the last post on there you will see the one i am using now

Honey, the macro's taht you know work, request em to go into http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/4...950#post367950 for easy finding/access to keep track of, maybe ?

Hi Shania

You have a good point and i see how you mean,

The only thing is these are a bit unconventional macros,they are messy and may be wrong,and although this works for me,and i get on with it,maybe for someone else they may be clunky etc,

i originally shared these more as personal experiment,built around using the chimera pet,and they are off the normal beaten track..


There not going to be huge DPS macros etc,my goal was really to have sort of an all in one macro,cut down on keys to press and hopefully make it work..

If other people can use them and they work for them then thats cool,i would never say ohh these macros are the one and only you need to have in mop as a hunter..


We all play differently and probably this is my style,and some one else when they try will go ,what the heck is this mess lol

when im bashing away at these macros i do it without thinking,whereas some may struggle..

Who knows probably im doubting myself,and when you have a go shania you can tell me if it works for you..

One other thing maybe,that these macros as well do not really fall into a pvp or pve category,would be tricky to pigeon hole them..

For me bm pvp is my main use for it,but it works just as well in pve on mobs when questing etc..


Ive just hit 90 last night...and added glaive toss into the mix,and managed after a lot of hours of trying to also get kill shot to work in the macro too

This ive only tried on mobs and so far its looking good,and ive videoed some of it in action,and i plan to go back into a bg and see how that goes,


I had already been in eye of storm to start getting some conquest points,and my first try went really well,so i cant wait to be fully mop pvp geared and see how things go..

also so i Dont keep trying different things and post the new versions in other posts..this updated transcatt macro..i'll post OVER the old one and only update/edit that post...so the macros in there are always the ones i am using..

posted here just so you know that its updated

/petattack
/petdefensive
/cast frost breath
/cast charge
/castsequence reset=target arcane shot,concussive shot,serpent sting,kill command,widow venom,tranquilizing shot,kill shot,cobra shot,kill shot
/cast cobra shot
/cast froststorm breath
/cast kill command
/cast glaive toss 
/cast [@target, exists] kill shot
/cast arcane shot
/cast kill shot
/cast glaive toss
/cast froststorm breath
/cast kill shot
/cast silencing shot
/cast kill shot
/cast intimidation
/cast kill shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

*its pig ugly,has lots of doubled up casts,has cast in front of castsequence,drop through casts..i know ,i know :P
i may be the worst macro editor ever,but i just know when i play and hit this it works,or something is after a fashion..probably it could be half the size,etc etc
anyway..i'll go hide in a corner now

will always be updated on this page of post

This is transcatt macro on its own with out the buff macros etc...

best changed quality to 720 hd




The clicking is me spamming away at the mouse button :P..and also because cobra shot takes a longer cast..im spamming all the time.. ..Kill shot on the final kill gave a nice 61 k ...will obvouisly be more when im geared up properly..

Hey Honey,

Thanks for all the posts. I'll be giving your setup a try as well. I currently have 10x Hunters at Level 80 that I boosted with RAF.
I am going to start leveling them to 90, so I am getting everything setup for the first time.

I did some testing with your main macro above. At level 80 with shit gear and a boar (starter pet) I was able to pull 1k DPS. I think that is decent given my gear but I'll have to try it out more later.


Have you done any DPS measurements with your setup? It would be interesting to see how much DPS you are doing compared to theoretical.

Hi Daanji

The new short vid above i did using the transcatt macro above on its own without any buff macro..just to show it in action etc..

Dps wise..i do have the skada meter top left..which did 632k over the the time of fighting those 2 mobs..on that macro only

I did make a video of using the whole buffs and transcatt macro..but the mob died just as stampede cast..and was about 332 k at that point..

How would you judge the dps if say i did the same on the dummies?over a set time? or something like that?

I am maybe a low too with my crap gear..still a mix of cata pvp season 11 gear and mixed greens/blues of mop pve gear


just uploading a short pvp video i made..video in post above

Damage is typically measured in damage per second. I believe you are quoting total damage.

To measure DPS, you can use the mod Recount.

Just install it, then in game do

/recount toggle

and the window will pop up. Go to a target dummy for a Level 90, then hammer await for 5 minutes .

From the window, you can see a variety of statistics. use the arrow buttons to change the statistics you are looking at.

You can see total damage, damage per second, healing done, healing per second, and more.

If you click on one of the entries, you can get detailed information broken on a per toon basis and see what abilities were used, # crits, # hits, # misses, min, max, average, etc.


Secondly, you can compare this data to the theoretical damage that a Beast Mastery Hunter can do with your gear.

Take a look at http://rawr.codeplex.com/ . It is pretty easy to use. It will give you a general ball park of what your DPS should-be based on your current spec and gear.
