LF Hunter Trap / flare macro help please

[Seekfindkill-remulos]

hi all, im not very good at making macros but i really do want to learn, ive made a few which i really like and will occasionally tweak them, im having issues with my trap macro not sure exactly why thats why im here, maybe its not possible to do what i want ? i digress heres the stuff

#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/cast [nomod] Feign Death
/petpassive;
/cast Freezing Trap

i want to use modifiers to prevent FD but still cast a trap out of combat and purely use the button to cast a trap with a modifier. since no modifier is defined for the trap it should do this, so far however my experience has been

• with or without modifiers it works as intended out of combat.
• in combat it does not FD and so no trap is able to be placed.

the Flare macro i want to make is

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Arcane Shot
/cast [nomod] !autoshot
/cast [mod: ctrl] Flare; [@cursor] [mod: alt] Flare

the purpose of this macro is to integrate flare into the same hotkey i use for arcane shot in a way that it can both be cast at the cursor or on a click situationaly -
-currently the flare macro will only cast at a cursor regardless of which modifier i use i also tried separating the lines in the macro just in case but no cigar

any advice would be appreciated, i understand some may have different preferences on how they would like their macros to work, i am interested in hearing this, but would also like to understand why the above macros are not working to try and improve myself

thanks all

You could use [combat] for FD.

Feign death doesn’t work because feign death is broken.

Doesn’t matter.

Feign Death + Trap Bug

Hey everybody, I wanted to take a minute to talk about Feign Death. Hunters are understandably very concerned about the behavior of such an iconic ability, with a variety of important uses, and I want to assure you that we’re aware of your reports and we’re investigating. This one isn’t easy at all. In our reference builds, many of the same behaviors that players are reporting do occur, but sometimes with slight differences in timing or consistency, which makes it really difficult to even ide…

This will use Feign Death normally and only Freezing Trap when holding shift
#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/use [combat,nomod]!Feign Death
/petpassive
/use [mod:shift]Freezing Trap

This macro should work for what you want
#showtooltip
/use [nomod]Arcane Shot
/use [nomod]!Auto Shot
/use [mod:ctrl]!Flare;[@cursor,mod:alt]Flare
