A lot of you guys are not understanding the hunter mechanics to maximize DPS. These “fall through macros” with GS are always going to be super sub-optimal because they only choose Steady Shot when focus starved. This doesn’t allow enough focus to fire Chimera off CD consistently.
You need THREE macros.
- Boss Health 100%-80% OR when Rapid Fire is used - Standard rotation, but use Aimed on CD for Careful Aim benefits.
- Filler rotation - Standard rotation that does not focus starve Chimera on CD.
- Boss Health < 35% - Kill Shot Stopcast
This Macro, without any addons has better burst, no focus starve, Chimera on CD and slightly higher DPS than anything else I’ve found on the forums. Give it a shot.;
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/use [combat]Rapid Fire
/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=9 !Chimaera Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Aimed Shot,Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=60 !A Murder of Crows,!Barrage,!Barrage,!Barrage
/cast Berserking
The only thing you may want to do is manually weave an extra steady ONCE in when Bloodlust, Rapid Fire, Berserk and full Raid buffs are on, as the Chimera CD is less than half a second remaining on CD. This is ultra rare and does next to nothing for dps gains. Can easily just ignore and wait for the CD.
I’m working on the 3 part macro for near optimal rotations during the health phases to take advantage of Careful Aim. Stay tuned.
