Hunter Beastmastery Macros
There are several very common macros that every Hunter should use (assuming they haven't started already) to simplify their life. The most common are:
Focus Macro
Due to everything going on and having to switch targets often, it is very handy to have a set focus macro.You can either use this to either set focus on the enemy and switch back to them, or focus on the tank and assist them. Also, you should have the reverse macro so that you can pick up that target at any time.
Assist Focus
If you use your focus macro to set your focus on the tank or the groups main assist you can then use the following macro to switch targets to your focus and then assist them and attack their target.
/target focus
/assist target
/petattack
/cast auto shot |
Distract and Trap
If you use your focus macro to set your focus on the target you want to keep trapped you can use this macro. Just place your trap first and then use your macro, you'll switch over, attack them pulling them into your trap, then switch back.
/target focus
/cast distracting shot
/stopcasting
/targetlasttarget
/autoattack |
Mark and Attack
This simple macro can be made to replace your hunter's mark button so that you can mark and attack all at once.
/petattack
/cast Hunter’s Mark |
Steady Shot Macro
If you sit and spam your steady shot attack you will end up clipping standard attacks, that is interrupting a normal attack sequence. To get around this, many beast master hunters combine your kill command pet attack with a steady shot macro that times the attacks for you. Many players will find a 5-10% dps increase by this simple timing.
