My 8.01 macros

@Sir_Ewing I’m loving your macros but I seem to be having one problem my pet will randomly stop attacking and come stand by me until I hit attack or stop and restart the macro. Is there something I can add or you have already posted that I can use to force my pet to attack.

Thanks in advance

That is by design to keep your pet from attacking random mob. Here is my targeting macro: It is a normal non GSE macro, and is based on a macro posted by Glamrockcop in one of my old threads. I have it hot keyed to a button that I can toggle easily with my thumb. I use it as a separate macro instead in my rotation macros, as I find it gives me more control over my pet attacking random mobs. Note: This is very helpful for any of the pet classes.

/cleartarget [dead]
/assist [@focus,exists][@pet,exists]
/targetenemy [noharm][noexists]
/petassist

It first clears any dead target .
Then if you have the tank as your focus, it will set your target to the tank’s target.
If you don’t have a focus it will target your pets target if they have one.
If neither of these have a target then it will just target the nearest enemy.
It then finally it puts your pet in assist.

However if you don’t want in a separate macro, just edit it into the Keypress parts of the macro.

In ether case, you still need to be careful about spamming it as it can send your pet into nearby mobs, if the tank doesn’t have a target. If that happens you might want to try the following pet return macro, to call your pet back before it is too late.

PetReturn

Sir_Ewing thanks very much that is perfect

hello sir_ewing I might ask myself if you could try to make a macro to be pressed manually without any ms (ahk, synapse etc. ), that works well, I play in pressing the macro key quickly.
current bis talents per bm are

@Sir_Ewing
Awesome macros, I can’t get the LOOKDEAD macro to import, all the others have been imported no trouble, am I missing something??

I have the same problem.

Thanks for your hard work sir Ewing. Is it possible to use dire beast in the raid macro and if so where would you recommend inputting it?

drupollo2 My Macro are designed to be use both manually And with my Rayzer Synapse. In fact I prefer manually, and only rarely use the Synapse.

Ron I will look into the problem with play dead in the next day or two. I may have exported it wrong.

Jitty Six use the 2 Dire Beast & Scent of Bloodmacros posted here My 8.01 macros - Patch 8.0+ - WoW Lazy Macros

ok sir, but manually I hate everyone that does not work well at 100% macros, often skip the spell.
Other top talents are now instinct killers and chimera shots, why do you use to say beast or scient blood?

@drupollo2 from Sir_Ewing post:

“Here Is my new raiding/dungeon Macros. It is using both Killer Instinct and Scent of Blood. There is a very good reason I am not using Chimaera Shot. IT KEEPS PULLING CRAP I DON”T WANT TO PULL!”

you could explain me how to set ms speed in the mouse, I use corsair rbg scmitar pro

currently I have my Razer set at !00, but it mainly depends on your system, and your normal latency. Anywhere from 80 to 150 should work. Play around with it, and see what works best for you.

As for the macro skipping spells, If the skill is on cool-down, or if your focus is too low for that skill, the macro will skip to the next one. It is just a matter of getting your timing right, and keeping an eye on your focus. Being a Blood Elf with Arcane Torrent helps a lot.

Since “Killer Instinct” and Animal Companion are both passive, my "Animal Companion & Chimaera Shot” Macro will work just fine with “Killer Instinct & Chimaera Shot.”

@Sir_Ewing Thanks a lot :slight_smile: This macro is awesome, I just edited it slightly to fit me, I put the Orc racial in and also dash for me pet and my dps is better than other Hunters 10 iLvls higher

I think I have fixed the issue with my Look Dead Macro, there was an error in its export. Here is the correct code:

TimothyLuke has fixed the issue with Revive Pet / Mend Pet not switching properly. “GSE will now substitute Mend Pet with Revive Pet. This will enable the one line to either cast Mend Pet or Revive Pet as needed.”

So here is my revised Heal pet.

/cast [@pet,dead] Revive Pet
/cast [nochanneling] Revive Pet
/cast [nochanneling] Exhilaration
/cast [nochanneling] Survival of the Fittest

This is the refined targeting macro I am using at the moment. It works in and out of a group so long as you always set the tank as your focus when grouped.

I use this to cut out all the scrambling about when the tank dies in a group and you need to turn Growl back on and start using your pet to tank your way out of dying or Feigning Death and letting everyone else die :slight_smile:

/cleartarget [@target,dead]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead]
/petautocaston Growl
/petautocastoff [@focus,help,nodead,group] Growl
/cast Mend Pet
/assist [@focus,exists][@pet,exists]
/targetenemy [noharm]
/petassist

Explanation…

/cleartarget [@target,dead] - If the currently targeted unit is dead then: Clear your target.

/clearfocus [@focus,dead] - If the unit saved as your focus target is dead then: Clear your focus target.

/petautocaston Growl - Turn on pet skill autocast for Growl.

/petautocastoff [@focus,help,nodead,group] Growl - If the unit saved as your focus target is a friend and is not dead and you are in a group then: Turn off pet skill autocast for Growl.

/cast Mend Pet - Cast Mend Pet (Optional).

/assist [@focus,exists][@pet,exists] - If the unit saved as your focus target exists then: Set your target to the target of the currently targeted unit.
Else, if your pet exists then: Set your target to the target of the currently targeted unit.

/targetenemy [noharm] - If the currently targeted unit is not an enemy then: Target next visible enemy unit.

/petassist - Set Pet to Assist.

Using this macro when not in a group. It will cast Mend Pet and use /targetenemy [noharm] to target the nearest hostile unit and set your pet to assist.

Using this macro when in a group. You need to first set the tank as your focus unit.
As long as the focus (tank) is alive this will set Growl on autocast and then immediately turn it off again when it sees that you have a focus that is friendly and not dead and you are in a group.
It will then cast Mend Pet (optional) and assist either your focus if you have one or else it will assist your pet.
If neither of these have a target then it will use /targetenemy [noharm] to find a valid hostile unit and then set your pet to assist.

If you are in a group and the focus (tank) dies (I recommend setting up a weakaura to tell you this) and is not battle rezzed. Then all you need to do is press the button again…

This time it will clear your focus and turn autocast on Growl which this time will not be immediately turned off because you no longer have a focus. It will then cast Mend Pet and you will assist your pet by attacking his target (chances are he still has one). If your pet has no target then you will target the nearest hostile with /targetenemy [noharm].

You will have to remember to reset the tank as your focus when he is rezzed so that Growl autocast will turn back off.

Warning! The old tried and true:
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
is no longer needed for dungeons/raids:

In fact due to this and addon issues with “Time Walking” Dungeons, it has been know to actually turn grow on in dungeons/raids. Because of this I have removed it from my macros.m I just leave grow on all the time now. The new mechanic turns off when I enter a dungeon/raid, and back on when I leave.

I would still suggest a targeting macro set to your focus that turns Growl on and off.

I was never a fan of…
/petautocastoff [group] Growl
/petautocaston [nogroup] Growl
because if the tank dies you are still in a group and it won’t turn on growl.

Much better to use something like…
/petautocaston [nogroup][@focus,nohelp][@focus,noexists][@focus,dead]Growl
/petautocastoff [group,@focus,help,nodead][group:raid]Growl
It will determine whether your focus is alive, dead or charmed and will turn autocast on/off accordingly.

While this may be OK when in a 5 man dungeon, I can see it causing problem in raid. In raid when the main tank dies the off tank normally takes over. So if the main tank is your focus and dies: By it tuning on grow, this macro would make it difficult for the off tank to establish aggro.

@Sir_Ewing are the latest macros still on the first page or is the newest one the one on page 12?

Thanks again for the amazing macros
