I haven’t tested anything yet but I’m guessing you’ll be losing a bit of dps in order to gain extra utility if you choose to switch to using a pet.
This was a terrible decision in blizz’s end btw…if they wanted to leave a player with that choice, why would they incorporate a dps loss.
Agreed, and from what I just simmed, it looks like you’ll be taking about a 2% loss in dps if you decide to go with a pet instead. All because of the number of people demanding marksman hunters should only be played 1 way, without a pet. Originally, from what I read, Blizzard was originally planning to get rid of the ability to summon a pet all together which would have basically ruined the fun of the class for me, so at least they gave us something.
From it stands right now, it looks like having a pet is nice for survivability in solo content, but will have a chance to get you kicked out of a group on end game content if you insist on bringing a pet as marksman.
True which is utterly sad
Blizzard disabled the ability to call your pet by default this patch for marksman hunter. Now, you have to change the Improved Spotter’s Mark talent to the Unbreakable Bond Talent in order to be able to use your pet. If you don’t want that error, eather get the unbreakable bond talent (which will result in a loss of about a 2% dps loss, or remove this line from the WoW macro:
/cast [nopet,nomounted] Call Pet 1
hi!
im unable to import the code for hunter. i can import SCG code for all others like DH or Balance. but after i import the code. nothing happens.
any ideas?
which talents build do we use
You’ll have to delete your old hunter macros, specifically the one that will just show a blank window when you click tab ‘1’, as it is causing gse to error out preventing you from being able to import anything new (If I remember correct, it was the old BM macro that was causing issues with gse). Once you delete the problematic macro, you should be able to import the hunter macros after.
I shared the talent build I use on my main post which you can import, along with a link to what is recommended.
for some reason it starts out at around 1.5 mil single tartegt but it scales down hard after about 45 seconds. any tips?
This happens with most macros after updates. The 1.5mil is because your using all you cd’s including trinkets and than when that wears off, it scales down to the average dps amount. Stuff like gear and the speeds that you are running the sequence might also have an impact
Hey good macro 
Just question about talents. if you look at Top talents they shift alot… so question is should i go with Volley or not?
It’s largely up to you whether you want to try volley or not. If you were to try it, I’d recommend adding to the WoW macro in place of one of the traps. example:
/cast [mod:shift,@cursor] Volley
thank you this aoe one is amazing ( no pet )
