ill have to let you know tom, im at work
That happened to me because I didnt copy and paste the first “/” after u add slash it should work.
Yes there is 2 commas in 2 places in the sequence - there should only be one my mistake.
Hey Guys. Just tried the macro without the extra commas. I also upgraded a macro as advised and put it into word checked for mistakes and then pasted into wow. All it does is post the entire macro everytime i press the button into chat. either saying it to whoever i was last talking to or out loud:
/startattack
/castsequence reset=target/3 Serpent Sting,null
/castsequence reset=5 Kill Command,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Glaive Toss,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Arcane Shot,Cobra Shot,Cobra Shot,Kill Command,Glaive Toss,Arcane Shot,Dire Beast,Focus Fire
/cast Blink Strike
/cast [combat]Rapid Fire
/cast [combat]Bestial Wrath

Hello Flawed, that is really weird. I’m not saying that you are wrong, but usually that happens when there is extra stuff or missing a slash “/” at the beginning.
I wouldn’t tell you to recheck unless you have not yet.
Other thing could come to mind is an add-on intercepting the macro or maybe Blizzard break something with the last patch that causes this? I have not had time to play for almost a month so I can not verify or confirm the problem.
Let us know if you figured it out.
Hi guys, just wanted to say that in now works. I wrote out the entire thing by hand after upgrading an existing macro. i hit 60k on a noral training dummy. thanks for all your guidence and help
Hi Guys. Further update.
I used the macro successfully through all my dailies last night. The only issue was when i deviated from spamming the button to throw a multi shot in here or there for the beast cleave etc to proc. That’s when i started to get a bit focus starved. A couple of Cobra Shots on their own in these occasions sorted that out.
Also Dire beast sometimes took some time to be called mainly because its at the end of the macro i think. That’s was fixed by opening up with dire beast as a single button press and that helped greatly.
Basically as a macro for spamming its very good. It takes a little getting used to especially for me as ive always done the whole task bar buttons being taken up with all my abilities and done the octopus impression while taking out the latest foe.
Will be testing the macro tonight in LFR. I’m fully expecting to hit 200k dps …

Hello Again,
Macro still working fine.
I have been through LFR now and i was either top or in the top 5 of dps. My gear score is 480. No tier bonus.
I didn’t realise that kill shot wasn’t in the macro until i was hammering away at a boss and realised it never went off. So when i actually started using it, my dps of course increased.
On opening with a boss. Flasked / food buffed and potion busted . Stampede and a couple of traps (if i remembered) i was hitting about 105k.
Over the course of a fight it levelled out from between 65k and 75k. Depending on boss and how much my finger hurt from the repeated spamming.
As for aoe. I usually put a few traps down but won’t always remember. I’m a big fan of putting a multi shot in here and there, if only to keep the beast cleave mechanic up. However i found it almost detrimental to dps when i did this because it made me immediately focus starved.
So my advice in the following situations is below ( based upon the macro posted right at the end ) :
3 or more Mobs.
Traps if you remember
Dire beast
Multi Shot
Cobra shot.
Start spamming macro.
Depending if you are in a raid where by the mobs take longer to go down you can always stop the macro spamming then hit up another multi shot followed by a cobra. The repeat the spammidge.
1 Mob / Boss
Traps if you remember.
Direbeast.
Potion
Stampede
Start spamming macro.
I was worried that the macro would take some of the involvement / game play out of my hunter but although i no longer resemble an 80’s acid dancer while playing i do have more time to concentrate on positioning and looking at the screen to see if a healer / tank needs help ( spirit beast heal / turtle super mega tank activated ). Does someone need ressing? ( quillen ) . Am i standing in some black shit3 on the floor? ( too busy picking my nose ) etc etc.
I fully expect when i eventually get my 2 piece tier bonus to exponentially increase my current dps due to the macro and how often the kill command is used. Because if im honest most of the time before i would forget to hit it up when off cool down.
If you start to use this macro ( that Michael created ) then remember to get Super Duper Macro’s. ( Its an archived addon ) make sure you upgrade an existing or normally created macro through super duper macro’s then type it out manually.
If you use lynx rush you can swap that with blink strike. I have no idea if crows works. Ive never used it before.

okay so I have the SDM extender addon, and I copied and pasted your macro in exactly. and it worked for half a dozen single fights, but as soon as I get into a fight with multiple enemies in rapid succession, it locks up and freezes on me, I’m not running out of focus, it just stops working…
the only thing I changed was omitting Dire Beast as I don’t use it, I prefer Thrill of the Hunt, and I omitted Rapid Fire as I prefer to trigger it manually.
Same here, I use the macro unmodified and it locks up after a period of time, haven’t isolated it to multi target fights though
For us non macro extender types here…
Can you guys take a gander at this and see if I’m missing something painfully obvious? Let’s just say Hunter is not my primary class (see Warrior and DK macros posted by me if you like)
cheers,
John

Here is my macro set for BM using 3 hotbars very similar to my survival set, these could be condensed into 2 hotbars but with 3 it runs super smooth, even smoother than the survival ones. The only thing with BM is the extra focus from Bestial Wrath. Arcane Shot and Multi Shot should be hotbarred separately for focus dumps on these occasions. Focus Fire is done manually to guarantee the 5 stacks. All macros fit in the default macro boxes.

the reason that i made the macro this way was cause it locks when the pet dies so i had to waist time for rez.
with this one i bursted to 105k dps with all my cds active to drop at 75k.
kill shot is not in there cause it does not cast no matter what.
enjoy

whats all this with hotbars? Why adding a hotbar in your macro?
guys,guys.guys…there really is no need for these long winded hotbar macro’s, these can be all done with just 1 macro.i have created macro’s for almost all classes that are just 1 button macro’s and these are pretty much spot on.
The one button macros don’t work for me, certain abilities don’t cast at all and others take up to 3 rotations before the said ability works. Now for me at least this is not acceptable in any way so I made something that does work and works flawlessly.
give this a go,works fine for every thing does what it should it may not be 100% perfect but i’m happy with it.

ill test it
seems you need to add more AS in it as I endup with 100%focus for too long
