Warlock petattack/follow (control)

Guides UI and Macro
1

I just started to make my own macros and I’ve had to do a bunch of research to really try and understand what I need to do to make a macro that really gets close to I want my toon to do. This one is for warlocks, and might work for hunters, though I haven’t tried it yet. If your a warlock and looking for mor control of your pet this is the macro that I use:
#showtioltip summon imp
/petfollow [@pettarget,exists][]
/petattack [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target,harm,nodead]
/petstay [mod]

Like I said I just started. This seems to work really well for me. I am able to have it attack my target or attack a target I mouseover or have it follow me if I click my macro When targeting a neutral area on the screen. And then I can have it stay Put by pressing the button with any mod key (Ctrl,shift,or alt) if there is a better way, please let me know, but this has been working for me.

#show Summon Imp
/petstay [mod]
/stopmacro [mod]
/petfollow [@pettarget,exists] []
/petattack [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm,nodead]

Check out the addon PetControl on Curseforge/Twitch client/whatever they are calling it now. It makes pet management for Hunters and Warlocks (and Frost Mages, and presumably Unholy DKs, though I have zero experience with Unholy) far easier, and frees up macro space so you can include pet abilities with multiple conditionals depending on the active pet, target/mouseover selection, etc.

This is a shameless plug, as I am the author. That said, this was a tool I wrote for myself and eventually published as a means to share it with the community because it was so effective for me.
