One option is to use the macro for one steady and then use a special (Arcane, Multi) and when those two are both on cooldown, use it like BM hunters do, and spam the shit out of it. another idea, is to add in a /castrandom line for arcane and multi, but that can be dangerous depending on the amount of CC. Yeah, the macro I posted is just a slight modification to the castsequence macros for MM/SV. You could spam the crap out of it, too. Also, for the /castrandom additions of Multi and Arcane in the spam macro, you can make a separate macro with the Multi removed that becomes a nice spam macro for CC situations. I think that one works best with Imp. Arcane Shot. Anyway, I'm guessing these macros were lifted off of Alu's site for SV hunters, Nightdrifter. It's a pretty great resource for people curious about Surv builds. |

Unfortunately, it's also exceeded its bandwidth... possibly from being linked to on the LO site. ;)

I am currently using the 3:2 with two macros.. #showtooltip Steady Shot /console Sound_EnableSFX 0 /cast !Auto Shot /click [target=pettarget,exists] MultiBarBottomLeftButton12 /cast Steady Shot /console Sound_EnableSFX 1 /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() MACRO 2: /castsequence reset=4 Kill Command, !Auto Shot, !Auto Shot, !Auto Shot My question is this. I recently specced for Improved Arcane Shot and was wondering if iAS could be put into this macro in lieu of manually weaving? If so, how/where do I put it? Or am I better simply manually weaving? Thanks. --

I tried that and unfortunately, Steady Shot never fires. =/ Also Erywin, in another thread you said ... quote: /castsequence reset=3 Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Multi-Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot /cast [target=pettarget,exists] Kill Command /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() Is the macro I use for a 1.5:1 shot rotation with Kill Command. I use a standard 3:2 spam macro for CC and haste situations. Why not use the 3:2 all the time and manually weave AS and MS? What is the advantage of the castsequence macro over the spam? --

Troll: My castsequence macro is more a result of my situation as a raid lead rather than a function of maximized DPS. As a raid lead I spend more time watching raid members health, boss ability timers, etc than I do watching the CDs on my shots. If I had the ability to do all my leady stuff and manually do my shot rotations then I wouldn't even need macros, but due to the function of Hunter rotations taking exact timing and concentration, its just not a feasible possibility for me. So I am sticking to my shot rotation macros and my G15 until I get banned or stop playing >< Chielah: I use that specific macro because after extensive testing it performs the best compared to other macros, and yes I have actually tried the macro you posted, ended up clipping too many auto shots with it :( YMMV tho due to Latency, gear (mainly weapon speed), etc. Cheers, E --

As far as macros go, I can barely see a difference between the performance of the two. I've just used the unlinked one for some reason *shrug* |

I am tinkering with specs lately, and that seems to be the most flexible and work in the most situations. --

the 3:2 macro is intended for BM only, due to shot mechanics. MM and SV (due to the lack of passive haste) should use the 1:1 macro and manually weave arcane shot/multi shot or another steady into their rotation. --

/sigh i thought i had it all figured out...so, anyways i have a attack speed of 1.93 as BM with the haste cloak from ZA and the badge weapon. What macro do you suggest? 1:1 or 3:2? and if you suggest one...can you post the exact macro? there seems to be different versions floatin around and i'm all confused. also i can't just use cheeky to check which is best as i'm on a mac and only some of the stuff in the spreadsheet works for me (i cannot change the shot rotation). :( | |

use the 3:2 macro, it becomes a 1:1 when there's enough haste. Get a cast bar like quartz and watch the swing timer (auto shot) and the special timer (steady). when you use it with only passive haste then when you pop rapid fire. --
