Hunter macros

Hunters are skilled marksmen and beastmasters, using their keen senses and loyal animal companions to track and eliminate their enemies.

20 macros

Aspect of the Turtle (Instant)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Aspect of the Turtle
/stopcasting
/cast Aspect of the Turtle
```
Cancels your queued spell and turns on your immunity straight away. Aspect of the Turtle is a reaction to something that already happened, so any delay makes it useless.
Binding Shot (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Binding Shot
/cast [@cursor] Binding Shot
```
Drops the stun zone exactly where the pack will be. Binding Shot only triggers when enemies move out of it, so placement is everything.
Burst Window
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Bestial Wrath
/cast Bestial Wrath
/use 13
/cast Blood Fury
```
Lines up your damage cooldown with your first trinket and your racial. Swap Bestial Wrath for Trueshot or Coordinated Assault depending on which specialisation you are playing.
Cancel Aspect of the Turtle
Hunter
```
/cancelaura Aspect of the Turtle
```
Drops the immunity early. Turtle stops you attacking as well as being attacked, so once the danger has passed you want it gone rather than sitting through the full duration.
Counter Shot (Focus Interrupt)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Counter Shot
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Counter Shot
```
Interrupts your focus target if you have one, otherwise your current target. Marksmanship and Beast Mastery both use Counter Shot; Survival should swap the name to Muzzle.
Disengage (Instant)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Disengage
/stopcasting
/cast Disengage
```
Stops your cast and leaps backwards. Standing still to finish an Aimed Shot while something dangerous lands on you is a habit worth macroing away.
Feign Death (Instant)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Feign Death
/stopcasting
/cast Feign Death
```
Cancels whatever you are casting and drops immediately. Feign Death is a threat wipe and a mechanic dodge, and in both cases finishing your current cast first defeats the purpose.
Flare (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Flare
/cast [@cursor] Flare
```
Drops the stealth-detection zone at your cursor. In battlegrounds and arenas this is how you find a rogue opening on your healer without having to guess where to click.
Freezing Trap (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/cast [@cursor] Freezing Trap
```
Throws the trap directly at your cursor with no targeting circle. Traps arm on landing, so the extra half-second a reticle costs you is frequently the difference between a trap and a wasted cooldown.
Hunter's Mark (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Hunter's Mark
```
Marks whatever your cursor is over. Because the mark boosts your damage against that unit specifically, it pays to place it on the thing you are about to swap to rather than the thing you are already hitting.
Intimidation (Focus Stun)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Intimidation
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Intimidation
```
Stuns your focus target through your pet. Useful for locking down a healer or a caster that your interrupt cannot reach in time.
Kill Command (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Kill Command
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Kill Command
```
Fires your pet at whatever you are hovering. Beast Mastery presses Kill Command more than anything else, so being able to point it at an off-target add is a genuine damage gain.
Master's Call (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Master's Call
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help][@player] Master's Call
```
Frees an ally from a movement-impairing effect without targeting them. Master's Call is one of the few dispels a Hunter has, and it is almost always needed on someone else.
Misdirection (Focus Tank)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@focus,help,nodead][@pet,exists][] Misdirection
```
Sends your threat to your focus target, then your pet if you have no focus. Set the tank as focus at the start of a dungeon and this needs no further thought all run.
Multi-Shot with Auto Attack
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Multi-Shot
/cast Multi-Shot
/startattack
```
Fires Multi-Shot and makes sure your auto shot is running. Auto attack silently stopping is a classic source of missing damage, and adding a startattack line to a rotational button quietly fixes it.
Muzzle (Focus Interrupt)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Muzzle
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Muzzle
```
The Survival version of the focus interrupt. Same behaviour as Counter Shot — kick the caster you are watching without ever leaving the target you are attacking.
One-Button Pet Care
Hunter
```
#showtooltip
/cast [nopet] Call Pet 1; [@pet,dead] Revive Pet; Mend Pet
```
Calls your pet when you have none out, revives it when it is dead, and mends it when it is alive and hurt. Three situations, three answers, one key — replace Call Pet 1 with whichever slot you use.
Send Pet at Focus
Hunter
```
/petattack [@focus,harm,nodead][]
/petfollow [mod:shift]
/startattack
```
Orders your pet onto your focus target and starts your own attack in the same press. Holding Shift instead recalls the pet, which is what you want the moment it runs into a second pack.
Tar Trap (Cursor)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Tar Trap
/cast [@cursor] Tar Trap
```
Places your slowing trap at the cursor. Tar Trap is most often dropped ahead of a pack you are kiting, which means throwing it where you are looking rather than where you are standing.
Tranquilizing Shot (Mouseover)
Hunter
```
#showtooltip Tranquilizing Shot
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Tranquilizing Shot
```
Strips an enrage or magic buff from whatever your cursor is over. Buffs to dispel usually appear on adds, so being able to shoot them without a target swap keeps your damage flowing.

Every class shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
