3.0.8 hunter steady shot + arcane shot macro


http://wow.stratics.com/content/features/guides/Macro%20guide/images/macro%20data.jpg


I had to make some revisions to my hunter steady shot macro post 3.0.8. If you didn't know in 3.0.8 arcane shot got buffed while steady shot got nerfed. As a BM hunter it is no longer wise to rely solely on your steady shot for damage now.

I told Gibster last night that I changed my macro to incorporate arcane and he asked me to post it here for easy referencing. This is not a word for word copy of the one I am currently using but should be very close.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/cast [target=pettarget,exists] Kill Command
/cast Kill Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Arcane Shot, Steady Shot, Steady Shot,
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Essentially this macro let you use Arcane shot whenever it is off cool down (6 secs) and weave steady shot in between Arcane shots. It will also use Kill Shot and Kill Command when they become available.

It is pretty simple macro. I chain this it to a hot key then map it to my mouse wheel. I will start combat by applying hunter's mark, sending in my pet and cast serpent sting to target (I have another macro for this). After which I spam this macro until the target is dead. Not as umber damage as the one I had pre 3.0.8 but good enough for now.

Thank you for that. A nice, simple macro, with little amending required.
