@Adreaver-undermine

Oh boy, I love macro threads. Here is a full dump of my 18 character specific macros, covering (almost) every ability for all 3 specs. I didn’t include PvP talents and a couple of talents that I just drop on the bar and use as is, but everything else is here.

1. Main Nuke - Aimed Shot in MM, Kill Command in BM, Wildfire Bomb in SV. Built in Misdirect to your pet when solo. Press with CTRL held down for Double Tap if talented.

#showtooltip [spec:1]Kill Command;[spec:3]Wildfire Bomb;[mod,talent:6/3]Double Tap;Aimed Shot
/use [@pet,pet,nogroup]Misdirection
/use [spec:1]Kill Command;[spec:3]Wildfire Bomb;[mod,talent:6/3]Double Tap;[nochanneling]Aimed Shot

2. Burst CDs. Basic press for Trueshot/Aspect of the Wild/Coordinated Assault. Press with Alt for Primal Rage if you have the appropriate pet, press with Shift as SV for Aspect of the Eagle.

#showtooltip
/use [mod:alt,pet:Wolf/Scalehide/Clefthoof]Command Pet;[mod:shift,spec:3]Aspect of the Eagle;[spec:1]Aspect of the Wild;[spec:2]Trueshot;Coordinated Assault
/use [combat]13

3. CC, basic Snare and Scare Beast macro

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl,@mouseover,harm][mod:ctrl,@focus,harm][mod:ctrl]Scare Beast;[@mouseover,harm][@focus,harm][]Wing Clip

4. Camouflage/Feign Death/Play Dead. Talent into Camo and you get Camo out of combat, Feign in combat. Pressing shift also triggers Play Dead (and Wake Up), and forces Feign Death out of combat if Camo is talented.

#showtooltip
/stopattack
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/use [talent:3/3,nocombat,nomod:shift]Camouflage;Feign Death
/use [pet,mod:shift]Play Dead

5. Focus dump. Cobra Shot for BM, Arcane Shot for MM, Raptor Strike or Arcane Shot for SV depending on equipped weapon.

#showtooltip [spec:1]Cobra Shot;[spec:3,noequipped:Bows]Raptor Strike;[nochanneling]Arcane Shot
/use [@pet,pet,nogroup]Misdirection
/use [spec:1]Cobra Shot;[spec:3,noequipped:Bows]Raptor Strike;[nochanneling]Arcane Shot

6. Stealth detection/scouting. Flare normally, Hunter’s Mark (with mouseover targeting) if you press with CTRL, Eagle Eye if you press with SHIFT.

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrl,@mouseover,harm][mod:ctrl]Hunter's Mark;[mod:shift]!Eagle Eye;[@player,mod:alt][]Flare

7. Harpoon with weapon swap. Equips a polearm if you currently have a bow equipped, so press twice in quick succession as Harpoon won’t trigger on the first press unless you already have a 2h equipped.

#showtooltip Harpoon
/equip [equipped:bows]Thornsweeper Scythe
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Harpoon

8. Helpful Utility. Press with ALT for Aspect of the Turtle, with CTRL for Exhilaration, with CTRLALT to use a Healthstone, with SHIFT for Survival of the Fittest/Master’s Call if you have the appropriate pet, and with no modifier for Disengage. Will weapon swap to a bow if you Disengage while in Survival spec.

#showtooltip
/cancelaura [mod:alt]Aspect of the Turtle
/use [mod:ctrlalt]Healthstone;[mod:alt]Aspect of the Turtle;[mod:ctrl]Exhilaration;[mod,pet:hyena][mod,nopet][mod,pet:Turtle]Command Pet;Disengage
/equip [spec:3,noequipped:bows]The Philosopher

9. Interrupt, with Mouseover/Focus targeting, for all specs.

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,harm,spec:3][@focus,harm,spec:3][spec:3]Muzzle;[@mouseover,harm][@focus,harm][]Counter Shot

10. Kill Shot with baked in Misdirection and /stopcasting. I want to be able to immediately cancel a filler Steady Shot to fire it. This version of Misdirection will also auto-Misdirect to the tank in a group if you have them set as focus.

#showtooltip Kill Shot
/use [@pet,pet,nogroup][@focus,help,nodead]Misdirection
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/equip [spec:3,equipped:bows]Thornsweeper Scythe
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@focus,harm,nodead][]Kill Shot

11. Standalone Misdirection. Targets your friendly target first, then focus, then pet. If none of those are true, will bring up the selection cursor for you to click a target, but only in combat. Out of combat uses the bottom trinket, which in my case is the Mistcaller’s Ocarina.

#showtooltip
/use [nocombat,noexists]14
/stopmacro [nocombat,noexists]
/use [help][@focus,help,nodead][@pet,pet,nodead][]Misdirection

12. Mount macro. Includes Hearthstone, repair mount, and various speed boosts. the /click TF bit runs some custom code that puts me in Human form the first time I mount up after combat, the /click SF bit runs custom code that fires a Goblin Glider Kit, Updraft, or zone-appropriate Slow Fall toy. The /click RW bit runs custom code that uses Running Wild but only while in the Maw, so I can use my normal mounts the rest of the time with the same keybind.

• Paste these snippets into https://addon.bool.no and it can generate an addon for you, allowing you to use these /click commands in macros.

13. AoE. Includes both Multi-Shot and Carve, as well as Barrage and Stampede on modifiers.

#showtooltip [spec:3]Carve;[mod,spec:2,talent:2/2][mod,talent:6/2]Barrage;[mod,talent:6/3]Stampede;Multi-Shot
/use [@pet,pet,nogroup]Misdirection
/use [spec:3]Carve;[nomod,nochanneling]Multi-Shot;[spec:2,talent:2/2][talent:6/2]Barrage;[talent:6/3]Stampede

14. Pets. Call/Revive/Dismiss baked into one button, with conditionals to call specific pets without having to use the flyout pet picker. /click PetControl uses the custom code in my addon here (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/PetControl/), which is a one button attack/follow command. Combined, pressing the button while my pet is attacking will Mend Pet and call it to me, pressing while my pet is at my side will Mend Pet and send it to attack, pressing with SHIFT will Mend Pet and keep the pet where it is.

#showtooltip
/use [mod:ctrlalt,pet]Dismiss Pet;[mod:ctrlshift]Call Pet 4;[mod:altshift]Call Pet 5;[mod:ctrlalt]Call Pet 2;[@pet,dead][nopet,mod:alt]Revive Pet;[nopet,spec:1]Call Pet 3;[nopet]Call Pet 1;Revive Pet
/tar Mouseover
/click PetControl

15. Basic Tranq Shot dispel macro.

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@focus,harm,nodead][]Tranquilizing Shot

16. Traps and Binding Shot. Works well on it’s own, but I’ve recently switched to on-release trapping so I can see the reticle before I drop it for more precise placement without any additional keypresses. See here: (Trap On Release Macro/Addon )

#showtooltip
/use [spec:2mod:shiftalt,@player][spec:2mod:shift,@cursor][mod:shiftalt,talent:5/3,@player][mod:shift,talent:5/3,@cursor]Binding Shot;[mod:ctrlalt,@player][mod:ctrl,@cursor]Tar Trap;[mod:alt,@player][@cursor]Freezing Trap

17. Mouseover/focus Intimidation and Volley with [@cursor]. I would have preferred to keep these two abilities completely separate, but I didn’t have enough macro slots.

#showtooltip
/use [spec:1/3,@mouseover,harm,nodead][spec:1/3,@focus,harm,nodead][spec:1/3]Intimidation;[mod:alt,talent:7/3,@player][talent:7/3,@cursor]Volley

18. Basic Wild Spirits [@curcor] more.

#showtooltip
/use [mod:alt,@player][@cursor]Wild Spirits

I should really write this up into it’s own post over here for easy searching.

One thing that I have found very helpful is to build an add-on for tweaks you want to use that don’t really fit in a larger addon, and to take common scripts that you use and set them up as clickable buttons in the tweaks addon.

For example, I want to shift from Worgen Form to Human Form when mounting up after combat, as I want to be in Human Form most of the time I’m running around in cities or whatever.

This is done like so:

/castsequence reset=combat Two Forms,null

That uses 21 characters. By building it as a clickable buttons called “TF”, I only need to use /click TF in the macro, which shortens it by 12 characters, giving more room for other stuff in the mount macro.

My addon PetControl is essentially this concept on a larger scale and with a more generally applicable purpose.
