Hunter Macro Question (classic)

I have not played wow in a very long time… I use to be good with macro’s but I don’t remember anything. I kinda remember limitation, but I’m not sure. here is what I wan to do.

I want the macro to target an enemy, then hunters mark it, then serpent sting it, and auto attack should follow on its own I assume… I don’t have a pet yet, but when I do I want the pet to attack as well.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello fellow hunter! Putting a tab type target and pet attack on your macro is sort of a bad idea because of the way macros work. You CAN do it, but better options exist. Let’s look at some options.

Use the tab button to tab target. If you put it in a macro and then you don’t tab the one you want you’ll have to reset your macro.

/castsequence reset=5 Hunter’s Mark, Serpent Sting

What this does is casts HM on first click. When HM is fully cast, the macro holds the condition for 5 seconds. During those 5 seconds, if you click the macro button again, Serpent Sting will fire. If you do not, the macro will reset. Also, keep in mind that this will macro you into what’s called a “clipped” rotation. This is fine, but you’ll need to make sure you know your rotation priority.

Personally I use a full rotation.

/castsequence reset=5 Hunter’s Mark, Auto Shot

This allows for a smoother transition into rotation (IMO).

For the pet. Your best bet is to have a sequence to manually send/recall pet.

/cast petattack
/cast petfollow

This literally works as described. You have full control of when pet goes in and returns. Keep pet on passive for maximum control with this macro.

Thanks, I think I can find some uses for this concept.

I can’t get this to work.
