Yea you get a 100% damage buff. 25% every time he runs into a wall (Cracked Shell). Once you close the 4th and final door you’ll get the 100% buff.

In terms of new content, I haven’t really seen any fight that you can really test a macro to it’s full extent and get great DPS. Sha of Fear in LFR still is the biggest tank and spank / patchwerk fight out right now. Elders is too on both LFR and Normal.

[quote quote=6120]with the macro i gave at first page i got 120k dps at horridon.
maybe it was some buffs or something but here is a proof for it.

Ok, so I changed the macro up a bit. I’ve moved Aimed Shot to a castsequence and it seems to work pretty well. Now Chimera Shot is the only /cast, so it seems to fire at a better rate for me. Again I’m using a keyboard that will do single button presses for me at a very fast rate.

 

/castsequence reset=target Serpent Sting, null
/castsequence reset=combat Steady Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot
/castsequence reset=0.9 0,0,0,0,0,Kill Shot
/castsequence reset=0.9 0,0,0,0,A Murder of Crows
/castsequence reset=0.9 0,0,0,Dire Beast
/castsequence reset=0.9 0,0,Glaive Toss
/castsequence reset=0.9 0,Aimed Shot!
/cast Chimera Shot
/cast [combat] Rapid Fire
/use [@focus,exists][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection

So, now I’m having issues with the macro a little too as where I wasn’t before. I think it’s the addition of Glaive Toss, but I think I have a solution. I’m testing it now.

24

Ok, I’ve tried something new. I’m liking it so far, but I need to do a little more dungeon testing. I’ve added more opportunity for Chimera Shot casts to ensure Serpent Sting does not fall off.

Aimed Shot! does not need to be in cast sequence cause is the proced name of aimed shot
and u have too mane sequences so many things will not work like refreshing the ss on target

26

If you type it in as…

 

Aimed Shot!

 

It will only fire on Ready, Aim, Fire x5
Which I guess I could put on it’s own hard cast line. I don’t have the issue triggering multiple lines though.

27

well most of us have .
have u bothered to test the macro on first page to see results?

28

I state quite often that I use a Logitech G15 Keyboard to press my “1” key at about 13ms per keystroke. It’s not bannable, but it does give a higher trigger rate for macros. It’s not performing any function other than pressing my “1” key and the in game macro does the rest.

 

I tried your macro, and I pull about 5-7k less dps with it. I prefer my Chimera Shot be used when it’s available rather than in a cast sequence. It’s a personal preference. My macro may not work as well for you though if you don’t have a keyboard or mouse capable of the quick button strokes.

29

Ok, so I feel like I’ve got my macro on lockdown. I’m pulling 45k dps single target on a dummy over long periods with a freshly dinged 90 with a 445 item level and a 429 bow (2,393 dps - 2.9 weapon speed) .

7 sequenances will break the macro for others who don’t have a macroable keyboard.

To help that out, lets take out all the CS and replace them with this line that Bab7 posted in 5.1.

/castsequence Serpent Sting,Chimera Shot,Serpent Sting,Arcane Shot,Serpent Sting,Arcane Shot

this is better to be used in a farming macro in my opinion cause ss will starve it so it is better this line

/castsequence reset=target/1 Serpent Sting,null
/castsequence Chimera Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot,Arcane Shot,Arcane Shot,Steady Shot,Steady Shot

the /1 is there in case the ss drops from target by just being inactive for 1 sec will cast ss again

32

Again that’s totally up to the person using it. It was a 5-7k dps loss for me to use the rotation macro vs my macro, so as I have a keyboard that does macro presses I’ll use mine.
Most people with a Logitech Mouse and a quite a few keyboard can use the Logitech software to set up a macro press. I’m using a $30 Logitech Mouse the MX518 and it can do the same keypresses my keyboard can.

33

So, I’ve refined it a little more. I like keeping the 2 Chimera Shot in there to ensure I’m getting a fast refresh on Serpent Sting, but here’s what I’m running now. My hunter is now item level 461 and I pulled 55k dps on a dummy.
