As I read the forums I notice a ton of request for macro’s and their explanation. Alu has macros on his site, the forums have a slew. Heck even wowwiki.com has an entire section just on hunter macros. But the question seems to come up over and over again, “What is 3:2?” or “What’s the 1:1 and 3:2 macro?” or something along that line.
So here is my best explanation of each and an example for you of each. I’ll try to update post with more examples as time goes on.
3:2
This is basically means 3 Steady Shots per 2 Auto Shots.
Steady Shot —> Steady Shot —-> Auto Shot —-> Steady Shot —-> Auto Shot
The macro looks like this:
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/cast Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Now don’t get me wrong there’s many different variations on this it seems, but this is the one that I’ve seen most used.
1:1
Now the infamous 1:1 rotation. Simply, It’s 1 Steady Shot per 1 Auto Shot
Steady Shot —-> Auto Shot —-> Steady Shot–> Auto Shot —-> Steady Shot
Now the macro seems to be a little tricker.. Not entirely sure as to why but I’ve seen the following:
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/cast !Auto Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
And I’ve seen it with the /castsequence:
#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
Don’t let the reset confuse you. It only means that the macro will reset to the beginning if you haven’t pressed the button in 3 seconds.
Well that’s it for now. Catch ya back at the Lodge!
