PHPROmega 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2018 Azortharion recommends the following: -- Because the in-game "auto-cast" system for Hunter pets is very slow, it is recommended to put these 3 lines into macros for all of your offensive spells. /use Claw(Basic Attack) /use Bite(Basic Attack) /use Smack(Basic Attack) -- However, when I apply this to my character, I no longer can see cooldowns for my spells. I tried to install ElVUI as well and that actually has a numerical countdown for spell CDs, but when I create a macro like follows: /use Claw(Basic Attack) /use Bite(Basic Attack) /use Smack(Basic Attack) /cast Barbed Shot I no longer can see that spell CD, which I think is important to playing well as you want to cast some abilities immediately on CD, like kill command. Is there a way to put all those 3 lines into macro with my offensive spells without losing out on seeing my CD timers? Thank you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norwegianmjod 1 Report post Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Quote Hey, I am a new wow player, and it will be helpfull if someone explain if you use all these macros on your hunter? cause the killl comand abiltiy in this guide is used more than once as macro. Do you use kill comand in different ways with different bindings ? Thanks and regards! Edited August 19, 2018 by norwegianmjod wrong spelling 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narakamos 1 Report post Posted August 20, 2018 Hello: Rather than putting that macro in every attack skill, i recommend using a separate, independent one: /petattack /petassist / (you can continue putting rest of pet skills in forward lines) Hitting it occasionaly does the job. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the petattack macro has nothing to do with the Basic Attack macro. They are different actions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 3-stack bar w/ ELVUI , and used to put the non-macro'd ones on the bar under the macro ones, just for the CD reading. A little duplication, but it does solve the problem.

If I read Azortharian right, petattack should go in the KC macro, while the actual pet attacks go in the other offensive spells? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The basic attack macro should go on all spells, even cooldowns like Bestial Wrath. Everything that you will be pressing repeatedly during your rotation. The petattack macro needs to be only on abilities that will make your pet move, so Kill Command is typically enough, but Barbed Shot is also reasonable. I find it very useful to also have it on Multi-Shot. Edited September 10, 2018 by Khallid 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
