BM Gnome Sequencer - Enhanced Leveling & raiding

I had posted these before Using the original Gnome Sequencer Addon’s format. But I switched to using the Gnome Sequencer - Enhanced addon instead, when the Patch came out. My old GS tread got a bit confusing for people because of this. So I am recreating it, only using the GSE format.

In Legion Best Mastery damage is very pet centric. As such both my spec, and my rotation macros are designed around the boosting and the commanding of the pets. Also they are mainly designed for the use of Spirit Beasts, that have the Tenacity spec. Sorry but; Tenacity spec Spirit Beasts is best for both yours and your pet’s survival.

My leveling Spec is: 3222321 .

Edit: I have changed my name on here to be more inline with my name on curse. I have not changed my name on my macros.

Here is my main leadoff macro. Warning: it has Barrage in it so you need a lot of care when using it. As Barrage is even more unpredictable in Legion. If pulling too many mobs is an issue, you might want to use my number 2 leadoff macro instead.

Sequences['BM1'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "With Barrage - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Intimidation",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast Barrage",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Here is my number 2 leadoff rotation macro: Yes; It has Concussive Shot. It does more damage then Auto Shot, and uses very little focus; Making it a fair substitute for our old Arcane shot. It has saved mine and my pets life in beta. You will notice also it has Cobra Shot instead of Barrage, giving you a bit more control over what mobs are pulled. Beware! Cobra Shot no longer gives you Focus regeneration, in fact it is a Focus hog now. So keep a close eye on it, as to not run out of Focus.

Sequences['BM2'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Without Barrage - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast [nochanneling] Intimidation",
"/cast [nochanneling] Cobra Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Concussive Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Every 3 minutes you can use the following as a burst &/or AoE attack. This is the one with Stampede in it. Stampede is no longer what it use to be. Instead of using pet from our stable it uses random beasts. Also they do not actually attack the target, but like a real Stampede, they simply run over it. You must use care and make sure you are directly facing your target, or they will miss. Also the target can simply step out of the way, and the beasts will miss it. So don’t depend on it in PvP.

Sequences['BMburst'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "BMAoE - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] Stampede",
"/cast [nochanneling] Intimidation",
"/cast Barrage",
"/cast [nochanneling] Multi-Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

In the following 3 macros yhe talents are set for my leveling spec. When you are ready for Raiding you may need to change them to 3212233.

Here is my heal pet macro. Believe me you are going to use this one a lot!

Sequences['Healpet'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Pet Heal - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
"/cast [nochanneling] !mend pet",
"/cast [nochanneling] Exhilaration",
}

Here is my “Oh Shit” macro. You are also going to be using this a lot more then you would like. It uses the Warlords healing potion: You will need to change it out when the Legion one becomes available to you. Again: The talents are set for my leveling spec. When you are ready for Raiding you may need to change them to 3212233.

Sequences['OShit'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Oh Shit - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
"/cast Aspect of the Turtle",
"/cast [target=player, help] Spirit Mend",
"/cast [nochanneling] Exhilaration",
"/cast [nochanneling] !mend pet",
"/use Healing Tonic",
}

“Play Dead” in legion is no longer a glyph tied to the hunter’s “Feign Death.” Which means we will have to trigger them separately, also we now have to “Wakeup” them separately when we stand back up. This causes us to have to use a total of 3 different buttons/actions, for something that currently we only need one button/action. Also You have to buy the “Play Dead” ability from a vender in the ‘Hunter’s Lodge,’ which you can’t access until after legion hits.

I am finding this change very awkward and has greatly complicated an ability that use to be very simple. I have tried making the following macro for this issue. Warning: Use care and only hit the button twice, as you might “Wake Up” your pet, if you keep hitting it.

Again: The talents are set for my leveling spec. When you are ready for Raiding you may need to change them to 3212233.

Sequences['lookdead'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Look Dead - Talent: 3222321",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
"/cast [nochanneling] Feign Death",
"/cast [nochanneling] Play Dead",
}

Here are my very tentative Raiding talents: 3212233

Keep in mind what I said about In Legion Best Mastery damage is very pet centric. As such you will be Focus starved if you try to concentrate too much on your shots, instead of on your pet(s).

Here is a Break down of them and my reasoning on why I picked them;

Dire Stable – For its focus regeneration.

Dire Frenzy – This give your pet a big speed boost that stacks up to 3 times, giving your pet a big increase in damage. It also is your biggest 25% Focus regeneration talent. Don’t make the mistake of picking Chimaera Shot . as BM. While it may give you a bit of damage increase, it robs damage from your pet. Also its lower Focus regeneration at 10% Focus regeneration,; Your over all damage will suffer, due to running out of Focus.

Posthaste. – This one doesn’t really matter that much, what your preference is. Just be sure to change the number in the talent line one the macros if you use something else.

Bestial Fury – I am torn between it and One with the Pack, and I am still swapping them out with each other, to see which is best.

Wyvern Sting – To give me back some crowd control for raiding. Other wise I would use Intimidation for soloing for its stun.

Volley – For its AoE. While in MoP and in WoD I liked Barrage, in Legion, its range is so much larger, making it too unpredictable for raids.

Aspect of the Beast – The change they have made to Stampede have made it too unpredictable, if it even will hit your target, as well as how much damage it actually does. As for Killer Cobra; Remember BM is pet centric now, and Cobra Shot is now a very big Focus hog, that will leaver you drained.

Below are my tentative Raiding Macros:

Raiding Single Target

Sequences['RBMmain'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Raiding main - Talent: 3212233",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast [nochanneling] Concussive Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Cobra Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Here are my Raiding AoE

Sequences['RBMAoE'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "Raiding AoE - Talent: 3212233",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]

"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

hey John love the macros but I have one question what is titan’s thunder as I’m not seeing it in the spells or talents

It is one of the abilities that the BM artifact weapon will have. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have it yet as, unlike normal macros, GS and GSE macro will not get stuck on it, but will just skip over it.

Ty for your response I didn’t know where it it came in as ive only been in the beta test since last Friday at least I now know that the weapon will have something other than just the spirit wolf to go with your pet
Ty again

The in-game tool tip appears to be bugged, or it is something our weaon will eventualy have.

sweeeeet lol

Ok my Guild Leader wants me to use Barrage instead of Volley for raiding. Apparently he has more confidence in my controlling it, then I do. I hope he is right. So here are my new raiding specs and rotation macros.

New Raiding spec is: 3212223

New Single target without Barrage

Sequences['2RBMmain'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "2nd Raiding main without Barrage- Talent: 3212223",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast [nochanneling] Concussive Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Cobra Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Single target with Barrage

Sequences['2RBM2'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "2nd Raiding With Barrage  - Talent: 3212223",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast Barrage",
"/cast [nochanneling] Concussive Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Cobra Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Here is my new AoE with Barrage:

Sequences['2RBMAoE'] = {
specID = 253,
author = "John",
helpTxt = "2nd Raiding AoE with Barrage- Talent: 3212223",
StepFunction = GSStaticPriority,
PreMacro = [[
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/petattack [@target,harm]
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
/cast [target=focus, exists, nodead],[target=pet, exists, nodead] Misdirection
]],
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Dire Frenzy",
"/cast Barrage",
"/cast [nochanneling] Multi-Shot",
"/cast [nochanneling] Titan's Thunder",
"/cast [nochanneling] !Kill Command",
"/cast [nochanneling] Bestial Wrath",
PostMacro = [[
/cast Aspect of the Wild
/use [combat]11
/use [combat]13
/use [combat]14
]],
}

Note: You maybe wondering why I am using “/cast Barrage”, instead of “/cast [nochanneling] Barrage”, That is because Barrage is a channeling ability. If I use nochanneling for its command, it would cut it off before it finished channeling.

sweet cant wait to try them

Is the macro available on GnomeSequencer-Enhanced, or will I have to manual copy and paste it across?

Should that not be:

New Raiding spec is: 3212233

in stead of

New Raiding spec is: 3212223

??

[quote quote=29964]Should that not be:

No: 3212233 has Volley in it, 3212223 has Barrage. Volley was what I was using before my Guild Leader asked me to use Barrage.

Not yet TimothyLuke, considers my macro High Performance macros. He plans to bundle them with other HP macros, in a separate pack, around mid September.

Yes, i know that - hence why i wrote my post - cause you still have Barrage in it

John
Do you add these to GS-enhanced Hunter.lau?

@Hooligan
These are in an unreleased addon pack WLM HighPerformanceMacros - https://github.com/TimothyLuke/GnomeSequenced-Enhanced/tree/master/GS-HighPerformanceMacros

Good News everyone.

Pet Training Manual: Fetch — Teaches you the Fetch ability. Use this to have your pet loot nearby corpses for you.

Pet Training Manual: Play Dead — Teaches you both the Play Dead and Wake Up abilities. This is actually better than the old glyph because you can have your pet feign death without you. If you want to replicate the functionality of the old glyph, you can macro both Play Dead and Feign Death together.

The Art of Concealment — Teaches you the Aspect of the Chameleon ability, which makes you untrackable for 1 minute. This is similar to the old Aspect of the Beast.

Hunter’s Call — A toy that summons a small beast to follow you around for 15 seconds on a 30 second cooldown.

Are available from Mardan Thunderhoof in Sholazar Basin, at the Nesingwary Base Camp, for only 50 gold each. We don’t have to wait to get them from the class hall.
