First, I have been using Gween’s macros for a very long time and loving it. So, if this macro helps anyone, all credit shall go to Gween. With the new changes for 7.2.5, I wanted to experiment with a few very minor tweaks to help my DPS on single target fights.
Before starting, I wanted to check what the top DPS players were using in terms of talents and gear regarding single target fights. You can view it here Warcraft Logs Heroic Goroth BM Hunter.
Just a side note from my own personal tests:I’m not exactly sure what the difference is, but I noticed when I updated to the newest release of GSE 2.1.03 tonight my damage was significantly less.
I ran 2 more 3 minute tests tonight with this macro was was doing around 940 K dps. (quite a bit less than my previous tests)
Out of curiosity, I have since reverted back to GSE 2.1.02, ran 2 more 3 minutes tests and was back to 1.08 M and 1.04 M DPS respectively, on par with my previous tests.
So, for now, I will continue to use GSE 2.1.02.
Talents are listed in the macro, but i’m using 2 1 1 1 1 1 2. Easy enough!

}
The only real change was moving Bestial Wrath down into the main macro with a cobra shot cast sequence. This prevents the delay from the possibility of Bestial Wrath casting and Kill Command still being on CD. Plus you have an extra cobra shot in the macro. Also, these talents worked better for me moving Dire Beast above the Kill Command.
It does enough damage for me to be satisfied.
BTW, I do not use AHK or anything like that. I press everything manually.
Feel free to comment, tweak it, or whatever. We’re all here to help each other.
