Asbobunny 8.3 BM Macro V3!

Oh thats https://wowanalyzer.com/

Its not the best for some specs and or classes but it does seem to be decent for bm hunters. Just paste your log then choose your character and it shows you what you can improve on.

Nice parse for MƔtƠlƬn on Ra-den.

Are you just using the macro or are you adding your own keystrokes manually? Iā€™m curious because it seems like Iā€™m not doing enough Kill Commands, and comparing my Ra-den parse to yours, you have significantly more than me.

I had 14.7% of my DPS from KC, you had 19.8%. A significant difference.

I tried to check out you character in the armory, but she was wearing some legion gear so not sure what your stats are.

Iā€™m running auto hot key at 70ms and in the gse options I also have it set to 70ms. My world ms is 30 or so most of the time.

The only manual key strokes I use are for defensive like Turtle and Exhilaration. Utilities like Cheetah, Disengage, FD, or Intimidation. Pet movement if the tank dies and I have to tank with my pet (usually only happens in the down group on Nyā€™zoth, otherwise its tank were it is ,rez, pet growl and tank till dead again. Cleared carapace this week with 3 people left pet tanking and I think the above ra-den clear was the same way.) and finally I manually use potions.

I think its mainly from the bow that drops of skit. It has a chance to reduce a random hunter cd so it reduces KC. And it also reduces BW which increases the damage dealt from KC. Another thing that it could be is for add swap fights were my pet has to run long distances I use a wolf for sprint while most people use a spirit pet, this allows the pet to get in range a lot faster.

Iā€™m also using the nested macro to limit the amount of cobra shots. This increases the likelihood of KC being used more.

To do this add this macro to GSE.

COBRA

Then add /click COBRA to the BMSOLO macro as the first thing in the key press area.
You might notice some changes in the BMSOLO this is because heart essence wouldnā€™t work for me in the PreMacro so I had to add it to the Sequence instead.

Finally set your click rate to what your ahk uses. I use 70 so I put it here.

Sorry I was doing some TW so I had the legion legos equipped. Was also testing out some t3 infinite stars but because they came from lfr they are a dps loss :cry: I hadnā€™t noticed the corruption and nobody whispered me for them, so they never found a good home.

Thanks for posting all this. Iā€™ve been kind of ignoring my macros for a while as I thought the talents hadnā€™t really changed much, so I was quite surprised when I simmed on a whim and found that AC and ToTH were better options now.

Iā€™m going to run Asboā€™s latest version here in raid next week, and then Iā€™ll try the Cobra pause macro you posted and see how that compares. I need to get a good baseline first to compare against. I noticed that the Cobra macro you posted was set to 1 on the pause. Is that working the best, or are you still experimenting with more of a pause?

Anything else I should know before I dig in next week? I had been using the UBM macro for quite some time, guess I need to catch up.

So far 1 works the best yet. I tried more but it ended up with to much down time, capping me on energy. Its better to just eat the 14-18 average cobra shots not reducing KCā€™s cooldown then to not cast and energy cap.

If you run those talents just make sure to try to get 3 dance of death azerite traits and as much crit as you can get. Preferably around 30% or more.

@Hermit

other that the change for the heart, any other adjustments you made? (saw the earlier note about a modifier for multishot, which Iā€™m going to add. Have myself too trained for that not to put that in).

You could do the modifier for multishot but his aoe works very well. I pull 120k on most average sized pulls and can do 300k on some larger ones like the ones before hive.

I had to change were the essence was as it didnā€™t work in the pre macro (so I put it in the regular sequence right below barbed shot.)

I also added a /startattck /petattack to both the single target and aoe macros. I find it preferable to tabing but you have to be careful to not cast after the current pack is cleared or youā€™ll pull another group.

I also removed the spirit beast heal. I donā€™t normally run a spirit beast as my raid needs hero and when I do I want to use it when needed and not spam it.

I think that was all. I tested a lot of other things but it was all a dps loss. You can check the above screen shot of the macro for any other changes.

Do u add /click COBRA in the AOE macro too to the KeyPress Section?

No.

Cobra shot wasnā€™t in the AOE macro so I didnā€™t add it. The multishot spam seems to keep beast cleave and stomp on cd. Just make sure you have an azerite piece for aoe that has rapid reload. The preferred set would be 3x dance of death, 2x primal instinct, 1x rapid reload. And the Vision of Perfection really shines here. At least I think it does I should double check that primal instinct stacks with multiple Aspect of the Wild casts.

Should it not look like this /click Cobra Shot?
Because /click COBRA has no effect too your macro because it is white, isnt it?

No it needs to be the exact name of the macro your nesting. Its white because its not a spell that it recognizes (it doesnā€™t read the nested macro until its used.) At least thats how I think it works.

That or its like the [combat] either way it works the way its show.

That pause macro was actually a dps loss for meā€¦to the tune of almost 7k

Imported, wrote /click COBRA and bamā€¦loss

@No54A2 you did remove the Cobra Shot cast sequenceā€¦ ?

Thank you so much for your detailed explanation.

I have been using 70 ms for my key delay and also normally have around 30 ms latency. My hunter (Glognar on Earthen Ring) also has the 460 Eldritch bow. I do have 3 DoD and crit is around 36% unbuffedso that should not be an issue.

I tried the nested Cobra Strike macro and it clearly resulted in a higher percentage of Kill Commands, but overall appeared to be a DPS loss on dummy.

So, Iā€™ll be playing around to try and tune to my build this weekend and see what I can do (although not optimistic :frowning: ).

yes I didā€¦still the sameā€¦

Its going to end up being different for everyone. You might have to adjust your ms on ank or try a different pause time. If worst comes to worst you can always go back to the old one.

There are just so many variables that exact settings are not going to work for everyone. You just have to spend a couple of hours on the dummy adjusting.

took it back to my ms (40) and its working just fineā€¦ty

Just want to chip in here - for me adding the embedded COBRA macro is a DPS gain around 3K more per second. So thanks!

I have noticed Frenzy sometimes drops of - not often though. I think it has to do with activating essence sometimes overlaps with barbed shot. Not quite sure what is going on.

Overall still a super macro and thanks for the COBRA add-on =)

I have a question and it might be a noob one but with this macro, is there anyway you can get your pets to attack one target while you maintain focus on another? If you cant do that in this macro , can someone point me in the direction on how to add it? or at least do it?

Have a question, I feel like my initial burst is non existant, and my DPS builds up to 30kish from like 15-20kā€¦Is there something i am missing? or is this normal for BM Hunters? This is my first hunter
