Class tips & macros

Figured I’d make an attempt at concentrating people’s helpful class gameplay advice into a single spot.

Making the thread while the idea is fresh, but I’m out ATM so I’ll be adding a couple of macros I’ve found invaluable as a hunter.

If you’ve got done helpful advice for getting around with a specific class - feel free to slap it here for everyone’s benefit! :grin:

Edit: let’s say, for readability that you try to start the tip with [“class”] or [“game aspect”] so we can ctrl-f our way to the right information :wink:
Edit2: home and ready to add hunter tips!
So! Hunter tips:

  • easy auto-shot attached to spell (with formatting to stop error messages, as added bonus):
    #showtooltip Serpent Sting(Rank 1) /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() /targetenemy [noexists][dead][help] /cast !Auto Shot /startattack /cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1) /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /script UIErrorsFrame:Show()
    (just swap out serpent sting for whatever you wanna attach your auto shot to.)

  • Keep your pet on passive, and attach /petattack and /petfollow to spells control it. I.e:
    to engage: #showtooltip Arcane Shot(Rank 1) /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() /petattack /cast Arcane Shot(Rank 1) /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /script UIErrorsFrame:Show()
    and
    to withdraw: /script UIErrorsFrame:Hide() /petfollow /cast [whatever] /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /script UIErrorsFrame:Show()

These can save lots of extra button pushing and help you with pet control a bunch :slight_smile:

This is Classic we’re talking about here. There are very few, if any, Classic Horde races anyone from the Alliance would ever want to catch in that situation. /shudder

#Showtooltip Blizzard’sFault
/castsequence reset=combat/target/shift Unsub, wait two months, check to see if server queues are still a thing, possibly resub.

But actually, as far as macros go. If you’re people aren’t aware #showtooltip [spell] is a fantastic way to keep your action bars neat when using macros.
