OAK Beast Mastery Hunter - Midnight Pre-Patch - Pack Leader and Dark Ranger - TWO BUTTON - Updated 3/11/26

The Dark Ranger build slaps my man, however at the 3-4 minute mark it does hang up a bit then restarts its awesomeness. Not sure why but just an observation.

Correct, @No54A2 I dont raid on my hunter, but I’ll try and check it out.

Agreed, Oak makes incredible macros and a huge asset to the hunter community but I’m experiencing the same issue with seq 3.. maybe something on our end :melting_face:

I’m not noticing lock ups, but I’m still doing better dps as Pack Leader

:100: It is absolutely destroying on AoE after today’s buffs

i am not getting any hangups.

im getting some lock ups too

ok seen enough reports of issues. 1 question from me, what you running it at?
here on, Oak will need more info from everyone than ā€œits locking upā€ and ā€œits happening to meā€. so please give him what he can use to figure out why.

Currently running at 100ms latency. I’ve noticed that when I remove some of the castsequence lines from my macro, the locking/freezing behavior happens less frequently. I’m trying to figure out whether this is a formatting issue within the macro itself, or if it’s related to my current statsI’m sitting at around 40% haste and crit.

It feels like my GCDs are firing faster than the cooldowns on some spells, which might be causing the macro to hang or skip inputs.

:t_rex: Ditto, same MS and stats running at 60+FPS and ~30 world ping and removing castsequences seems to help, still fires super fast / skips, will try altering the MS and report back. :saluting_face:

Updated - I didn’t have any ā€œlockupsā€ or ā€œskipsā€ and am not quite sure what you are referring to, HOWEVER, tweaked some things to try and make it smoother and more closely match rotations on Icy-Veins and Wowhead

well we all dont like his attitude we see him multiple times attacking people and telling them what and what not to do we are giving you feedback about ur macro if u want to fix it or update it go ahead if u dont then its your choice no stress

Working well for me, in delves, mythic and raid, so just wanted to say thanks for you all yuor hard work and efforts man.

they are telling the truth, it does not fire and most of the time focus cap, people are testing it for you and give their feedback. no need to take attitude

I tested DR single target macro and can compare to old Packleader - both from Oak (did not tried new recently packleader macro).Stats: 37% Crit, 37% Haste, 32% Mastery, 1% Vers. ilvl 705 - Target: Kelpfist. Test results: DR 1,6M - 1,4M DPS. Old Sentinel 2,1M - 1,9M DPS.

:bear:Bear in mind DR heavily favors vers stat vs PL and testing Single Target using Dark Ranger on Kelpfist gives some wonky results as Black arrows will fire in all directions and hit random dummies which will evade and waste damage / procs resulting in inaccurate and poor results on damage meters, best to test in secluded dummy areas.

I guess You are right. I will test it tomorrow, and tell You how it went, on Sentinel HC, and Loom HC. Quick sims show much higher DPS about 5M on DR spec and like 4,3M on Packleader. I got Spellqueue set to 150 and i hit macro button like 0.200 ~5 clicks per second. I noticed few things tho Black Arrow often wait to be casted (i guess it should be casted on cooldown/on proc) and similar with Kill Command. Dont know if it can be adjusted. Also i notice that i am with full focus more than i like. Thats all from me for today. Don’t know if this help or it just confusing.

ahhh that explains my results then lol!

Watching it after testing again, the ST DR is firing a black arrow at other targets (not the one currently targetted), and that is artificially over inflating the dummys results on ST.

This is fine IF there are more than two targets nearby, but if there is only one (boss fights) you are down on dps compared to against the dummys in dornogal or org.
