Help with a Beast Master Macro

[Lyonheart]

It is locking up because some of the skills have long cooldowns. I assume you were trying it on a dummy for a while?

Yea.. just dummies. It just looks so smooth and simple in his video.. could not get anything near that to happen for me. Is it working for you?

[Multibocks]

haven't had a chance to try since my hunters are still leveling. takes a while to get two groups to 90

[Oatboat]

in 5.1 i'm using

/castrandom arcane shot, arcane shot, arcane shot
/cast bestial wrath
/cast kill shot

Seems to be working pretty well, I've not gotten /castsequence to work since 5.1

[ebony]

i use a spam bar seems to be working kinda well with a do not move to next step for 0.5 secs in it (might need to change it on your gear)

then just put all the spells i need on the bar its something like this

1) SS
<0.5>
2) kill command
<0.5>
3)direbest
4)spare or Other fast cool down spells from talents
5>6>7>8> AS & CS % KS sometimes talents. (the system fights over what it wont to cast)


give me about 80k dps on live,

What is this spam bar you speak of?

I've given up on my hunter because I hate manually managing all those cooldowns. If there was a solution, I might actually play him again.

Ok, the new fangled castsequence tools have me intrigued, so I tried variations of the following...

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,
/castsequence reset=0.5 7,Stampede
/castsequence reset=0.5 6,A Murder of Crows
/castsequence reset=0.5 5,Fervor
/castsequence reset=0.5 4,,Bestial Wrath
/castsequence reset=0.5 3,Rapid Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 2,Focus Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,Glaive Toss
/castsequence reset=0.5 Kill Command

This doesn't quite work. Depending how how stuff is swapped around, some spells don't fire, others do. Is this an inherit limit in this system (or I could be hitting focus problems as well).

Any ideas on how to improve?

In the sample above, Glaive Toss never fires, but if I swap it around, it will fire off, but then something else is limited or cut off. Perhaps hunters have too damn many cooldowns to make this work correctly.

[halabar]

Also trying this adapted from the lazymacro site, but dps seems a bit low, but everything appears to be firing.

/startattack
/castsequence reset=target/3 Serpent Sting,null
/castsequence reset=5 Kill Command,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Glaive Toss,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Glaive Toss,Arcane Shot,Fervor,Focus Fire
/cast Blink Strike
/cast [combat]Rapid Fire
/cast [combat]Bestial Wrath

Any ideas? (Stampede and readiness are manual)

if your using isboxer then look up how deathkights do there dps a spam bar is send a random buch off keys at the same time and see what happens but hunters don't like that so i just steps in isboxer when i press a key it do this

all my dps is done with key 3 when i press key 3 it does this

step> shift+f10
step>alt+f10
step>ctrl+f10
step>ctrl+shift+atl>f10
all three keys at the same time
crtl+alt+f10
alt+shift+f10
shift+alt+f10

you have to look up the deathkight post about how its all setup to get it a 100% right but more off less thats what am doing.

if any off the spell are on cooldown it skip the key and move on i do put a small do not move to next step for xsecs to stop GCD getting in the way of spaming keys fast

[halabar]

Sadly not using ISboxer.. (on a Mac).

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=combat Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,
/castsequence reset=0.5 7,Stampede
/castsequence reset=0.5 6,A Murder of Crows
/castsequence reset=0.5 5,Fervor
/castsequence reset=0.5 4,,Bestial Wrath
/castsequence reset=0.5 3,Rapid Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 2,Focus Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,Glaive Toss
/castsequence reset=0.5 Kill Command

I think this needs to be more like

/castsequence reset=0.5 5,4,3,2,1,Fervor
/castsequence reset=0.5 4,3,2,1,Bestial Wrath
/castsequence reset=0.5 3,2,1,Rapid Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 2,1,Focus Fire
/castsequence reset=0.5 1,Glaive Toss
/castsequence reset=0.5 Kill Command

But I could be wrong.

You should probably look into the /swapactionbar command to allow you do do multi step macros on the Mac / without isboxer.

I would link some more info on it but it is hard to search the forums on my phone
