Adjust to your cooldowns . Intimidation Similar to the above , but generates more aggro ; adjust according to your cooldowns . Note that Intimidation also stuns the opponent . Raptor Strike + Wing Clip . This is a very simple macro that queues a Raptor Strike for the next normal melee swing and uses Wing Clip . The stopcasting is used to cancel the Raptor Strike effect if the Wing Clip isn ' t done . If your Raptor Strike is on cooldown , Wing Clip can be used alone . Although this macro contains two skills , it works because one attacks instantly and the other attacks on the next melee swing . " < raptor strike and wing clip are no longer available in the game . > " Here is an alternative macro that will que Wing Clip for the next melee strike . It allows you to use Wing Clip if you haven ' t gotten away already , and resets to Raptor Strike when its ready . Clever Trapping . Cut down on the number of buttons you have dedicated to traps . The stopcasting & stopattack will help keep you from breaking your own traps . You can also use Immolation / Explosive . Use the icon . Trap Launcher . ! ! !

Alternative macro Simple Tracking Macro . This extremely simple macro can be quite useful for PvP , just press it at the start of a battleground to make sure you ' re tracking everything you need to be . ( Incase you turned anything important off for PvE at some point ) Beast Mastery . Beast Mastery " I - Win button " . This macro requires a Beast Mastery specialization with the Bestial Wrath talent learned . It can also use any items with On - Use effects , such as potions , trinkets , and items with specific enchants , such as Hand - Mounted Pyro Rockets . BM DPS Rotation Macro for Patch 4 . 0 . 1 . I made this using an older Hunter macro while in IF testing out rotations to find a steady shot rotation that wouldn ' t starve for focus while maintaining a solid DPS . I decided not to include Beastial Wrath as it can be activated ondemand and may not always be needed depending on the situation . Also note Multi - Shot is optional depending on the type of fight you ' re in so don ' t let this macro get you in trouble by leaving Multi Shot in if threat will be a problem . - = DragonBeard = - Note : While it does make your hunter simple to use , the above macro would be unsuitable for raiding . Using such a lengthy castsequence the player sacrifices much flexibility and the ability to adapt to the situation - he also has little to no control over levels of focus . Though harder to master , * far * superior DPS can be achieved by careful placement of the most used abilities on the action bar and the practise of a basic rotation . < nowiki > < / nowiki > gg
