**********************************************************************************

Well what are macros?

A macro is simply a list of slash commands. I'm sure you are familiar with some of the more common slash commands:

* /say (/s)

* /whisper (/w, /talk, /t)

* /emote (/e, /em, /me)

* /dance

* Oh, and for you PvPers out there, I mustn't forget /spit

With macros, not only can we issue commands like these from action buttons, but we can also use many of them at once. Each unique command goes on its own line and is written exactly as you would type it in the chat box. For instance, if you wanted a macro that yelled "Everybody, dance now!" and burst you into dance, you would write it thus:

/y Everybody, dance now!

/dance

A mostly complete list of slash commands is available at http://www.wowwiki.com/List_of_Slash_Commands though at the time of this writing some of the new commands in 2.0 haven't been added. WoWWiki is a great source of additional information for macros, especially scripts using the /run command (which will be covered later).

After familiarizing yourself with what a macro is and how it works, proceed to view the following macros and what they do:

Awsome Mend pet macro (courtesy of Norwest < Eclipse > Gilneas )

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=174762149&sid=1

/castsequence reset=15 Mend Pet, null

It works like regular Mend pet, but as soon as you cast Mend Pet, the button goes to the '?' icon and does nothing so you know the Mend went off. It's much easier if I use a spam macro because you can just spam both Mend and your shot macro and you know if the Mend schnuck in between the shots. The reset=15 is because Mend Pet lasts 15sec so the macro re-activates when Mend Pet has expired. It saves having to separately monitor if Mend is up, the macro does it for you just by what button you see. When the Mend Pet icon comes back up, you know it's expired on your pet.

Compact pet follow/attack macro: Courtesy of: Ugla < Aftermath > Mal'Ganis

Macro I started using. This toggles your pet's attacking state, basted one what it's currently doing. If it is attacking something, it is called back to you. If it is not attacking, you send it into the fight.

/petattack [target=pettarget,noexists]

/petfollow [target=pettarget,exists]

Talent/Trinket/Racial macro:

#showtooltip rapid fire

/cast rapid fire

/cast ______trinket name_____

/cast ______trinket name_____

If you are a BM spec hunter and want to add Bestial wrath to the macro

#showtooltip Bestial wrath

/castsequence reset=10 Bestial wrath, Rapid fire

/cast ______trinket name_____

/cast ______trinket name_____

The reason I added a reset=10 to the above macro for the cool down for each talent, the shortest cool down, will always be cast first followed by the talent with the longest cool down. So the talent with the shortest cool down will always be up. The 10 second sequence reset is to give you a huge window to cast rapid fire (anywhere between 1-10 seconds).

Feeding multiple pets with 1 macro:

/cast [nocombat] Feed Pet

/use [nocombat,pet:Wind serpent] Bladespire Bagel

/use [nocombat,pet:scorpid] Clefthoof Ribs

/use [nocombat,pet:Wind serpent] Lyribread

/use [nocombat,pet:Wind serpent] Conjured Croissant

Simply replace the typ of pet with your own: and at the end of the line write the type of food it may be:

/use [nocombat,pet:Wind serpent] Conjured Croissant

One macro for both misdirect and distracting shot:

/castsequence reset=3 misdirection, distracting shot

If you like to use the focus macro, simply use this line and you will cast misdirection on the person who you are focusing:

/castsequence [target=focus] misdirection

One macro for both arcane shot and multi-shot:

/castsequence reset=5 arcane shot, multi-shot

In this macro again the shortest cool down talent always goes before the one with the longest cool down talent.

One macro for Steady shot, Auto shot, Kill command:

#showtooltip Steady Shot

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot

/cast [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

This macro weaves Auto shot and steady shot together and it is set up in a manner to avoid over riding each other, so you will always shoot then cast steady shot and if you get a critical hit, it will seemingly weave kill command in also.

The SS/AS/KC macro is perfect for a BM Hunter and I highly recommend it!

Steady shot auto shot macro without kill command:

#showtooltip Steady Shot

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

Do you use a Wind serpent and would like to avoid interrupting your pets melee damage due to the AI bug?

Well simply add the following line into any of your shot rotation/macros and it will force your wind serpent to cast lightning breath in melee range without steping back and interrupting its melee damage.

/cast lightning breath

For example:

#showtooltip Steady Shot

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, Auto Shot

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

/cast lightning breath

All in one macro for hunters pet attack and cast hunters mark:

/petattack

/cast Hunter's Mark

Simple macro for pet follow/ pet call:

/cast call pet

/petfollow

All in one shot rotation for everybody, but highly recommended for survival/mm hunters:

With rank 1 multi-shot (to conserve mana)

/castsequence reset=5/combat Auto Shot, Multi-Shot(Rank 1), Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto shot, Steady Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot

Without rank 1 multishot

/castsequence reset=5/combat Auto Shot, Multi-Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto shot, Steady Shot, Auto Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot

Melee macro for melee encounters:

The following macro forces your pet to attack the target you are attacking, uses wingclip when it is present, but it gives priority to Raptor strike over most other talents.

It casts Mongoose bite if it procs, and if you crit, it will cast kill command if your pet is near a target:

#Show Raptor Strike

/petAttack

/startattack

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

/castrandom wing clip, Raptor Strike, Wing Clip

/cast kill command

/cast Mongoose Bite

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

/script UIErrorsFrame

All in one track humanoid/ track hidden macro with priority to track hidden over humanoid:

/castsequence reset=3 track hidden, track humanoids

If you dont want a priority to either one simply remove the reset=3

/castsequence track hidden, track humanoids

Have you ever tried to mount but your pet was running loose? Have you ever tried to track someone fleeing but your pet kept you in combat?

Well here is a mount macro that will get rid of that =)

/cast _____name of mount____

/petfollow

Are you a survival hunter, and use deterrence? well here is a macro that combines both Deterrence and spect of the monkey into one.

/castsequence reset=3 aspect of the monkey, deterrence

If you have a special request please ask in this thread and I will cook up something.

I hope these macros help
