Hunter macros

Hunters are experts in ranged combat, able to deal damage to their enemies from a safe distance. They are also skilled in trapping and taming animals, which can serve as loyal companions and fight alongside them in battle. Hunters are the ideal class for players who enjoy a ranged combat role that can also provide support.

19 macros

Auto Shot and Send Pet
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/petattack
```
Starts shooting and sends your pet in at the same target. The standard opener when you are happy for your pet to take the hit.
Combat Trap Drop
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/stopattack
/cast Freezing Trap
/cast [combat] Feign Death
/petstay
/petpassive
```
+1 more
Stops your attack, lays a Freezing Trap, feigns to break combat, and parks your pet so it cannot set the trap off. Everything chain trapping needs, in the right order.
Downranked Wing Clip
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Wing Clip
/cast Wing Clip
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 2)
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 1)
```
Tries max rank Wing Clip first and falls through to Rank 2 and Rank 1 when you cannot afford it. Kiting with an empty mana bar is exactly when the slow matters most.
Eagle Eye (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Eagle Eye
/cast [@cursor] Eagle Eye
```
Sends your view to the cursor location instantly, which makes scouting a battleground flag room or a distant camp much quicker.
Feign Death into Trap
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/cast Feign Death
/petpassive
/cast Freezing Trap
```
Feigns to drop combat, puts your pet on passive and lays a Freezing Trap. Chain trapping in vanilla is built entirely on this sequence.
Flare (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Flare
/cast [@cursor] Flare
```
Drops Flare exactly where your mouse is pointing with no targeting circle. The fastest way to reveal a Rogue who just vanished on you.
Full Opener
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cleartarget [dead]
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast !Auto Shot
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark
```
+1 more
Clears a dead target, finds the nearest enemy, starts Auto Shot, sends the pet and applies Hunter's Mark. Everything you do at the start of a pull collapsed into one key.
Hunter's Mark (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Hunter's Mark
```
Marks a target you are not currently attacking. Against a Rogue this makes re-stealthing far harder, and it costs you nothing to apply from across the field.
Hunter's Mark and Send Pet
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark
```
Marks your target and sends the pet in. The standard soloing opener when you want the pet holding threat while you shoot.
Melee Weave
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Raptor Strike
/stopcasting
/startattack
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Mongoose Bite
```
Cancels your ranged shot, starts melee swinging and queues Raptor Strike, then falls through to Mongoose Bite. Lets you get your first melee hit in while still running into range.
Monkey and Deterrence
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Deterrence
/cast Aspect of the Monkey
/cast Deterrence
```
Swaps to Aspect of the Monkey and pops Deterrence together. Both boost your dodge, and stacking them makes a genuine panic button.
Never-Cancel Auto Shot
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cleartarget [dead]
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast !Auto Shot
```
Clears a dead target, picks up the nearest enemy if you have none, and starts Auto Shot. The exclamation mark means spamming the key can never turn your shooting off, which is the classic vanilla Hunter mistake.
Pet Stay
Hunter
```
/petstay
```
Freezes your pet where it stands until you tell it otherwise. Useful for parking it out of an area effect.
Pet Taunt
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Growl
/cast Growl
```
Sends your pet to taunt your current target, which is how you pull a mob off a group member who should not have it.
Recall Pet
Hunter
```
/petfollow
/petpassive
```
Calls your pet back to your side and stops it attacking. The button you press the moment your pet pulls a second pack.
Scatter Shot (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/petpassive
/petfollow
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Scatter Shot
```
Scatters a healer or caster you are not targeting, and calls your pet off first so it cannot break the effect.
Scatter Shot with Pet Control
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/petpassive
/cast Scatter Shot
```
Puts your pet on passive before scattering, so it does not immediately run in and break the disorient you just landed. The pet is the usual reason a trap setup fails.
Send Pet with Gap Closer
Hunter
```
/petattack
/cast Charge
/cast Dash
```
Sends your pet at your target and fires its Charge or Dash so it arrives quickly. Useful when you are swapping the pet onto a new target mid-fight.
Target Enemy and Shoot
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Arcane Shot
/cleartarget [dead]
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast Arcane Shot
```
Clears a dead target, grabs the nearest enemy and fires Arcane Shot. Swap in any instant shot you want on the last line.
