Hunter Aspects NEED to be updated to be a "stance" for macros

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

For Chimera / Explosive shot, I use a macro as following:

#showtooltip explosive shot
/cleartarget [dead]
/targetenemy [noharm]
/stopattack
/cancelaura hand of protection
/cancelaura Deterrence
/cast !aspect of the hawk
/cast explosive shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Among many things this macro does, I want Aspect of the Hawk to be enabled right as I press Explosive Shot. But each and every single time I press Explosive Shot, the Aspect of the Hawk animation/sound goes off. There is no macro in existence that will not make this happen. It will literally spam Aspect of the Hawk over, and over, and over again every time I press the macro.

So when I get a Lock and Load proc, I press Explosive shot 3 times (the macro 3 times) which will cause Aspect of the Hawk to go off 3 times.

The same is true with Aspect of the Fox macro’d with Steady / Cobra Shot. Correct me if I’m wrong but if Aspects were considered to be more like a “stance,” then we could macro something like:
/cast [stance:2/3] Aspect of the Hawk
which would hopefully resolve the issue of the aspects being spammed over and over again.
I literally play my hunter without game sound because of the constant annoying hawk screech from Hawk or the growl from Fox.

And no, I do not want to waste 2 separate keybinds for Hawk/Fox. On top of that, it will cause a delay with how fast I want to get my shots off and cause finger jams from intense fights from time to time.

The best fix in all honesty would be to just remove Aspect of the Fox and make Steady/Cobra Shot castable while moving baseline. Remove Aspect of the Hawk and give hunters a small buff to compensate.

The ! Is supposed to prevent an already active ability from recasting. This seems like a bug.

Im looking forward to singing the song of my people to the entire raid.

Constant changing aspects made people delete the sound file from their game folder.

Maybe there will be an addon for it this time around, or baked into dbm.

Agreed. I need to sound off, because these changes of aspects.

The ! prevents you from turning an ability toggle off if it is on, it doesn’t prevent a cast.

Aspects are on the GCD, so if the OP wants Aspect of the Hawk active for Explosive shot, he needs to to use a GCD to turn it on anyways, he can’t have his macro turn it on if off otherwise cast explosive shot.

I know exactly what you’re going thru and its terrible as i am in the same boat as well lol. I think its just a bug tbh. And the other people commenting on this, i don’t think they know what you’re trying to explain. hopefully this gets fixed bc on other servers this isn’t an issue.

You could get a weak aura to mute aspect sounds I’m sure

Other than that, idk

Download the leatrix plus addon. Inside the addon’s options → system → mute custom sounds → 568197,568862,569574,569401,568015,569301,568735

There is, Blizzard just made it goofy compared to what you/we are accustomed to

/cast [nostance:1] aspect of the hawk
/cast explosive shot

This will take you out of any aspect that isn’t Hawk, apply Hawk, then cast explosive shot with no delay

If you’re already in hawk, it will cast explosive shot without recasting hawk

Aspects only share GCD with other aspects and not other spells / shots. What you’re saying is not true. This can 100% be achieved. See my post above. It’s actually quite simple.

Better than nothing i guess. The dream would be that you can have both fox and hawk macroed in to a few key abilities for seamless swaps

15

Ha… the only reason it goes off is cuz aspects are off the gcd

So unless you add a line where it doesn’t spam the spell
Like for example
/Cast !aspect of the hawk
Doubt that’s going to work but it’s typically how spammable spells turn to not be spammable

Cata added aspect stances. So I use:

/cast [nostance:1]Aspect of the Hawk
/cast Explosive Shot
17

I still need to macro all my abilities.

Its sad that hunters have to macro basically every damaging ability.
