you have dps loss cause no moc in there
also your aimed shot will not have the chance to proc often,
nor you take advantage the thrill of the hunt talent.
try it this way
Well if I just add MOC (which I know is a DPS loss, but because this is ‘lazy’ macros, the less CDs the better, right?) My macro does 125k now, whereas yours does 115k. Thrill of the hunt is simply because I’m lazy, less CDs the better. It works wonders with AOE though.
Any problems, let me know, any suggestions, also let me know, enjoy!

130k dps sustained @ilvl527. Experienced DPS loss with MoC. DPS improved with addition of a second Arcane Shot immediately following the first in final castsequence. 50-60% uptime of Steady Focus, 70-80% uptime for TotH (lower with second arcane shot). For comparison I sustain 140k with survival.
If the macro could increase Steady Focus uptime (without focus capping) and decrease TotH significant gains could be had.
128k sustained @ilvl525, My DPS increases with MOC :P. I had a 85% uptime on steady focus and 83% on ToTH. With the extra arcane shot I could see the focus was around 50-60%. In survival I get around 12-130k. Perhaps it is because we are geared differently. Macro with extra arcane shot
Interesting results with similar ilvl. I am currently setup for survival which has, as you mentioned, a different priority. I’m also interested in testing dire beast and aimed shot at some point. Thanks for the starting point.
Ahh, that’s why the numbers don’t sound right then. Careful Aim and Piercing Shots are artificially inflating DPS. Tricky to test due to that. There is a dummy in SW that will go down to 50% so you’re out of Careful Aim phase and not in Kill Shot range, don’t know where one like that would be on your side. Granted you lose crit suppression but 3% crit is a smaller margin of error than the combination of the aforementioned talents.
Hey… I am trying this macro but I have a problem with it.
I have macro toolkit installed and using extended with it but the
“/cast aimed shot !” won’t work?
When I put it in instead of it going purple for spells it goes white.
So I thought do I need the “!” in it. Take that away and it only uses aimed shot and nothing else.
Hi, i have been trying to get this macro to work. at the moment i’m barely hitting 40k and was wondering if i am doing something wrong or have the wrong setup.
my toon: MM, 3,2,2,3,1,1
ilvl 501
Latency: 29(home)/31(world)
i am hit capped and expertise soft capped. 15.36% haste 17.70% crit 36.80% mastery
any input would be great on getting this to work. Many thanks
This macro makes use of TOTH to make sure your energy is never below 50. The macro will also benefit from this build; Agi > Hit=Exp > Haste > Crit > Mastery
Other than that, I’m not really sure why your DPS is so low.
I noticed the instant cast Aimed Shot! wasn’t working in the macro as I didn’t see it anywhere on my damage meter so I changed /cast Aimed Shot! to /cast [@target] Aimed Shot! and it now works.
Just a thought about not being able to see the Aimed Shot. You can try using an addon like Recount/Skada. After you start attacking click on your name in the damage meter and it will detail the (count, damage and % of damage) of everything you put out. This way you will be able to see if the shot is actually happening in your rotation or not. Good Luck.
