helping out a friend, don't mind me

Giving a quick lesson on macros to a "survival student" i know

The macro I used as BM is 3:2
so three steadyshots for every 2 autoshots, mana taxing as all hell.
be ready with fel mana pots and AotV, mana oil on your weapon helps alot as well.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto shot
/cast [target=pettarget,exists] Kill Command
/cast Steady shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

that will fire off every kill command that comes up, so you'll never miss one and your DPS will stay consistant.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/cast !Auto shot
/cast Steady shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

thats the one if you hate the "i can't do that yet" comment.

As survival i keep with a straight 1:1 macro. thats one steadyshot for each autoshot.

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/castsequence reset=3 !Auto Shot, Steady Shot
/castrandom [target=pettarget, exists] Kill Command
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

I only use it for the kill command, and i weave autoshots and multi (when there is no CC, since we're not huntards right? i sure hope so.)
Now, keep in mind you should use 3:2 if your weapon is 3.8 or slower, for maximum effect.
hopefully this helps you out (you know who you are)

here's a few more since i just remembered them.

Raptor clip: my lifeblood, my first instinct, the bane of melee classes
/cast Raptor Strike(Rank 9)
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 3)

the raptor stike can be on CD but the wing clip is 100% spamable still, so savage strikes + raptor clip= 1k crits plus slowing. fantastic for the "joust" when you need to get away.

and the pullshot macro, i in no way claim this as my own, i got it from BRK

/cast Distracting Shot(Rank 7)
/stopcasting

hit it once and let the mob come to you. guaranteed to not break a trap and prevent "lrn2trap huntard" comments.
