Why do I need a gnaw macro?

Probably a stupid question, but if or when I get back into pvp, I want to know what’s wrong with using the default command.

For context I’m referring to this guide

You do not need it for what its designed to do. You could of course macro that to your focus in which case it would be required, but to Gnaw your target a macro is not needed.

That guide also says Wraith Walk should not be used and I wholeheartedly disagree.
That tier all are viable.

The only time I would not get Ebon Fever is against Hpal’s or MW’s.

The guide also doesn’t have a pet interrupt macro.

The guide is outdated unfortunately. The talent section is a patch off.

In the same context of other macros, it increases the versatility of a single keybinding and in the long run increases your reaction time and effectiveness.

What do you bind yours to if not ctrl 5?

whatever works for you. i use Shift-G, Shift-W, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-X, and Shift-Mbtn5 for my pet control.

Not sure if this is the case here, but there was a period of time when you couldn’t put pet spells on your bars directly from the spellbook. You had to macro them if you wanted them bound without changing the pet bar bindings. I did this for a long time as a warlock as each pet had their own ability and what not.

I use Shift-4 & Shift-5 for Leap & Gnaw @ focus target. This is useful in arenas for the extra kick and longer stun on healers with Dark Transformation.

#showtooltip Leap
/cast [target=focus, exists] Leap; Leap
/petautocastoff Claw

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus, exists] Gnaw; Gnaw
/petattack [@target]
/petautocaston Claw

First macro Leap interrupts focus target casting (while Dark Transformation is active), second macro for 2nd interrupt/stun and returns pet to attacking your target.
