First off, my hat goes off to Aaralak for his amazing macro. I used it ever since Legion dropped and the burst is insane.
However, after looking at the raid logs from this week I see almost every single top feral utilizes Savage Roar so I had to come up with something that incorporates it. Keep in mind people that we are under the constraints of a macro that simply can’t do things a 3rd party program can do. Trust me I know…I was a bad boy in the past who got a 6 month ban for using Honorbuddy paid rotations. Then I found Soapbox rotations but only used it for a month and boy was I glad I stopped since they had a ban wave just before Legion dropped. So no more botting for me at all. So this is the next best thing. I would love it if we were able to write these macro how we wanted. I would love to be able to use Rake + 5point Rip just after a Healing Touch proc using Bloodtalons…but we simply can’t if we only want to use 1 button. All of that in mind I wrote this macro. Compared to Aaralak’s, this one has no burst but the long game is where it shines. 5+ minutes.

The uptime of Savage Roar and Rip are not 100% but they are as close as I can get while maintaining a good long run dps. Before combat I use Healing Touch and stealth near boss. I also pop my racial and Berserk on a macro about 2 secs after I start this macro. I use AutoHotKey at 200ms.
Here is a SS of Aaralak’s after 6 minutes (keep in mind, the first 60-90 secs of his, I’m sitting around 220k, then it dives off):

Here is mine after about 6 minutes 10secs (I kinda lost track of time popping cooldowns again after 3 minutes):

The screenshots are of me at 836 ilvl, cheap gems/enchants, rank 16 artifact (would be higher but my bear arti is rank 14).Feel free to critique, modify, test. I really wanted to add Ferocious Bite but I could not fit it in AND keep Rip/Savage Roar up as much as possible.
AOE: Please note! This requires a target swap after you see Moonfire go off. You only have to switch between 2 mobs (not 3 or more) being this has Rake and Moonfire in the macro, once you Moonfire the 2nd target, the DoTs will have fallen off of the 1st target.

I tried to make one that only used Thrash and Swipe but the dps was laughable. The DoTs are still where it’s at for ferals. This keeps Savage Roar up 100% and the Thrash DoT near 100% of the time.
Thank you, it’s working well.
