If you are using my macro, let me know how it’s doing for you. Comments are greatly appreciated, good or bad. Thanks. Happy Hunting!!!
My only issue is Multi Shot, it’s supposed to replace Cobra Shot in the AOE rotation, but with a modifier like this, it makes it hard. I am thinking that maybe making Multi Shot on a seperate AOE Macro
Also to note, your Cobra Shot is turned into Steady Shot in the macro. Might be something with the ID of the spell. It fires fine, just for some reason it shows Steady Shot.
@Moonsorrow_1414
That’s what I’ve done-I’ve MS on on a different key and press it about every four seconds (per Azor’s guide) keeping Beast Cleave up 100% of the time and spamming my own macro in-between.
And you must’ve not seen the multiple, multiple multiple posts on this from Timothy Luke: Two most asked questions: Base Spells and Macro locks on this Forum AND in Discord…
Yea I just got back into WoW. For me having Multi Shot on a seperate key eliminates the Cobra Shot problem of firing both.
Lucky the macro doesn’t lock up, I have seen others that have. I’ve been around for years on the community for Hunters and Shamans for years. Seems like the 9.0 changes have made things harder for creators.
But honestly that was the only issue. Also maybe as a suggestion, Kill Shot doesn’t fire as often as it should, I’m wondering if reversing the order from BW then Kill Shot to Kill Shot then BW if that would help. Back in MOP we could use the leading zero system (/castsequence 0,0,0,0,0,0 Kill Shot) and it would make it a higher priority. Is there a way to do that for BM? I have tested something similar like this for MM, and seems to fire KS more.
@Moonsorow
Blizz shafted us on the castsquence 0,0,0,0 a while ago.
But someone asked Timothy Luke this on Discord recently: “so in theory you are creating the old /castsequence macro functionality that was removed?”
Mr. Luke’s response: “and much much more”
In testing out @Valamar’s macro I noticed I was Focus capped A LOT for ME (ymmv). Could be my gear or that dangerously inhuman ms spamming speed that he uses (remember: Blizz is watching). I run all of mine between the speed Timothy Luke recommends for all GSE users (don’t wanna get that possible ban). So I dunno.
Running yours, I don’t focus cap often. But with AOE I tend to fire too many Multi Shots so I become focus starved at that point. With MM, I only fire off a Multi Shot when it procs. BM I know doesn’t do the damage that MM does, but our pets our better on BM than on MM. A serious flaw from Blizzard, also noticing that BM pets just don’t survive like they used to but that is another topic.
I think for your macro, if you use the Shift modifier no more than 2 Multi Shots, without a shift modifier I think you could get 4 out.
My macros? I don’t release any of them to anyone.
As for Kill Shot, I recommend putting it in the KeyPress, Main Sequence, KeyRelease and Post Macro boxes or a combination of them or grab the Plater addon which has an “execute” highlighter on the nameplate setting for mobs under a certain amount of health and use a single button for it.
Really the question would be…Is this macro keeping up with the dps that I sim? If you can answer yes it’s very close minus 1-3% then I would say why change any thing. We all know a macro will never give you 100% plus dps. Just saying. I’m aware of the Kill Shot issue, on a boss fight it’s not an issue for me. But, on mobs it’s an issue cuz they die so quickly before it goes off. If I add more kill shots into the macro, then it will change the spell count of other spells. If you were to sim yourself and look at the spell count of each spell, my macro almost matches that spell count percentage wise. I appreciate all the feedback. Like most times I get, you should change this or do this, but noone really says how well their dps is. Just to add, I am working on improving the kill shot, I’m just not going to post it yet until I get the legendary ambers, tar trap, etc. put in. Happy Hunting!!!
Thanks Valamarr (Your name related to the Ashen Knight)
I’ll see if I can tweak something for AOE to make it easier so it doesn’t use Cobra Shot as then it gets focus starved. Its easy just need to replace Cobra/Steady Shot with Multi Shot.
Looking at Icy Veins talent guide, they mention to use Scent of Blood which gives 2 Barbed Shots charges. Second the new talent Bloodshed, should be used as the main talent. Maybe add this into the main body section or even in the Pre/Post area since it’s on a long cooldown.
@Moonsorow You have a valid point about the AOE, I just make sure I only do it every 4sec and I’m usually good on focus. Now let’s discuss the Scent of Blood and the 2 extra Barbed Shots. I don’t use it simply because it’s a pain in the but to account for it in a macro. Also, it is only about 122 more dps than me using one with the pack. Now on to Bloodshed, Aspect of the Beast is actually 3 dps more than Bloodshed. So, therefore I, as of right now, until changes are made, I’m not going to use Bloodshed simply because it’s another CD I would have to put in the macro and it would change everything about the macro. If you were to analyze my macro, it is almost on point with the spell count using Details. I’ve learned that icy and wowhead and etc. are not always right, especially when a new expansion comes out. But I am aware of my macro missing Kill Shot due to such a short window to get it off, that I am working on.
Sounds good, I did some work and looked into this and tested. I did notice switching to Spirit Beasts plus Scent of Blood did make my DPS go up, by about 300. I was averaging about 1.5k before and now I’m doing about 1.8-2.0k at 164 ilevel.
Bloodshed I need to see if others are incorporating it and where.
I’m doing average 1.7k at ILvl 154
im doing roughly 2.3k at 178ilvl on a 2min fight with a dummy. I also have the Soulforge legendary which im proccing manually. i sim at 2.6k dps so im happy being 300 under. thanks for the macro =)

@Valamar your macro is my go to for when i do heroics and up. i have my friends using it also, some of them cuz of the not auto targeting the next mob if then dont stop pushing the macro button quick enough, and others cuz of the Night Fae ability being on the alt key so we dont all throw out the spell together. very well done macro. the dps numbers are great also.
That’s awesome to hear buddy. Glad it works for you. Thanks for the kind words.
this one i cant keep frenzy up at all i have 50ms in the gse dont work for me. and i have 0.060 on razor
@Henrik_Andersen sorry to hear that. Try taking out the 50ms in GSE and then play with the ms on the razor mouse by going up or down in increments of 10. If you come to the hunter discord, you’ll see many are having success with all the macros posted there. Let me know if this suggestion works for you.
