Lethal Shots

Macros are wonderful things, but I am often surprised at the number of people who don’t use them. Today I am going to go over a few very simple, but useful, macros to get you started.

• First up is a single line macro that is actually the one I use most often. You set the main tank as your focus, and then any time you use this macro it will target the same mob as him, allowing you focus fire:
  • /assist focus
• This is a simple macro to cast Hunter’s Mark and send your pet to attack with one button press:
  • /cast Hunter’s Mark
    /petattack
• This macro provides a one button switch between Aspect of the Dragonhawk and Aspect of the Viper. The last line is there to get rid of any errors that pop up:
  • /cast Aspect of the Dragonhawk
    /cast Aspect of the Viper
    /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear();
• This next one is a little more advanced. This is an all in one Misdirection macro. It will first try to cast MD on your target. If you have no target or an unfriendly target, it will attempt to cast it on your focus. Failing both of those it will cast it on your pet:
  • /cast [help][target=focus,help][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection
• This last one is a Steady Shot macro. What it does is attempt to use your trinkets, cast Kill Command, and then fire Steady Shot. This frees you from having to to manually activate your trinkets and Kill Command, which means less you have to keep track of:
  • #showtooltip Steady Shot
    /use 13
    /use 14
    /cast Kill Command
    /cast Steady Shot
    /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear();

Now this is just a small sampling of what you can do with macros, but it is enough to get you started. You can find additional macros on WoW Wiki or by searching google. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask in the comments or email me directly.
