Helpful Hunter Macros
Posted by Fimlys on May 30th, 2007
Arienna had asked for some information on the macros I use, so I decided to post the information here. I assume these would be good for other classes, but can’t be positive.
This is my “Set Focus / Hunters Mark” Macro (obviously would need to be modified for use with other classes):
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark /cast [harm] Hunter's Mark; /focus [help]
This is used to cast a Hunter’s Mark on the target if it is an enemy and to set the focus to the selected target if it is a friendly.

This one is my “Assist Focus” Macro. It allows you to automatically assist the “focus” (set in previous macro) and start attacking.
#showtooltip autoshot /assist [target=focus, exists] /cast [nocombat] attack; /startattack [combat];
—
Here is my macro for doing Misdirects.. If the focus exists, it will cast misdirect on it. If not, it just casts misdirect on your target. It will not change the target.
#showtooltip misdirection /cast [target=focus,exists] Misdirection; Misdirection /s *** Fool You! *** (Misdirect)
—
And here is one I use to pull. It will cast a Distracting Shot and then stop attacking (So we don’t accidentally break our own trap.).
/rw Pulling %t /cast Distracting Shot /stopcasting

That’s it for now. If you have any good Macros, I’d love to see them (Obviously mainly for Hunters, but I do have a lot of low level alts). Catch ya later!

Just a thought on the misdirect macro, you should add a /w to the person being misdirected to. That way, to the warrior getting the misdirect aggro, it stands out that a target is coming.
If you make a mistake and target the priest (me), I will know that I’m in big “ka ka” and need to fade immediately before I start yelling at you
Just kidding, but it makes for a nice warning to whomever is being misdirected to.

True, although I’ve heard from some people that they know I misdirected onto them. (it shows I cast it on them anyway).
I’ll look into that.. I’m not sure I would like a whisper like that because I have an addon that pops up whispers in windows (like AIM). That could be distracting in the middle of a fight.
