Auto Shot Macro

#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast !Auto Shot

This is a must-have for all Hunters for both PvE and PvP; it will make you Tir automatique but also will not cancel it if you spam it, unlike the built-in spell book version. It also will clear your target if it is friendly or dead and target the nearest hostile then cast Auto-Shot. You can remove the 2nd and 3rd line if you don't wish to have the targeting function.

Auto Shot - Pet Attack Macro

#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/petattack

Similar to the Auto Shot Macro but with the added function that your pet will attack your current target. This can be used for target swapping or initiating but be wary when using this on some encounters or situations where you want your pet on passive or a different target. You can also add in the targeting functions from the previous Macro, but I generally avoid this as it is mainly used to swap to a specific target and not just target the closest enemy and send your pet in.

Initiation Macro

#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast !Auto Shot
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark

This is a nice lazy macro for initiating a fight; it will auto-target the nearest hostile, send your pet in to attack, use Tir automatique and cast Marque du chasseur at the same time. This isn't always useful as you may want to mana up after casting Hunter's Mark, but for open world and non-raid-boss encounters, it is convenient. You can also replace Hunter's Mark with any of your instant shots if that suits your situation better.

Melee Macro

/startattack
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Counterattack
/cast Mongoose Bite

This will start melee Auto-Attacks and cast Attaque du raptor as a priority and then either Contre-attaque (if specced) or Morsure de la mangouste on the second press. A good one keybind macro for your melee weaving.

Target Enemy/Use Ability Macro

#showtooltip Auto Shot
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast Arcane Shot

This will target the nearest hostile and cast Tir des arcanes. You can replace "Arcane Shot" with other abilities such as "Morsure de serpent" and it will have the same function.

CC Macros

Scatter Shot Macro

#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/petpassive
/cast Scatter Shot

This puts your pet on passive as you cast Flèche de dispersion so that no damage will go off and cancel the effect. A convenient macro to successfully get your traps off.

Feign Death - Trap

#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/cast Feign Death
/petpassive
/cast Freezing Trap

Similar to the Scatter Shot Macro, this will also place your pet on Passive while casting Feindre la mort and Piège givrant simultaneously. Very useful to guarantee that your pet does not break your trap as you place it, you can also replace "Freezing Trap" with any of your other traps you wish to place during combat.

Low Mana Wing Clip

#showtooltip Wing Clip
/cast Wing Clip
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 2)
/cast Wing Clip(Rank 1)

This is a fail-safe macro for Wing Clip that will operate regularly unless you don't have enough mana for a max rank Coupure d'ailes. Without enough mana for a rank 3, It will attempt to use rank 2, and if you still don't have the mana for that, it will use rank 1 all in the single press.

Pet Macros

Pet attack

/petattack
/cast Charge
/cast Dash

This will send your pet onto your current target to attack and cast it's Charge or Dash abilities if available. You can use this in combination with your abilities or by itself, which is mainly useful for target switching.

Pet Passive

/petpassive

This will set your pet to passive, instantly calling it back towards you and stopping it from dealing damage until commanded to. Similar to Pet Attack, you can combine this with other spells or use it alone.

Pet Growl

/cast Growl

This uses your pet's taunt ability Grondement on your current target which I find it mainly useful to help pull aggro off group members that shouldn't have it such as a healer or other DPS.

Pet Stay

/petstay

This commands your pet to stay where it currently is until told to attack or follow. This is mainly useful to keep your pet out of harm's way on certain fights. You can also use it to trick people of your location if you are a Elfe de la nuit using Camouflage dans l'ombre.

Pet Follow

/petfollow

This commands your pet to follow you, useful if you have commanded it to stay recently.

Defensive Macros

Aspect of the Monkey/Deterrence

/cast Aspect of the Monkey
/cast Deterrence

This will activate Aspect du singe and Dissuasion on a single GCD, a very useful panic button.

For your Scatter Shot Macro you have a bracket added. It should be fixed to this:
#showtooltip Scatter Shot
/petpassive
/cast Scatter Shot

Commentaire de endow

IGNORES dead mobs. Targets closest LIVE mobs, even when dead mobs nearby.

I made this macro to target a named mob (eg. Moonstalker Sire), if it's dead, clear target. If not dead, cast hunter's mark and pet attack target.
/cleartarget checks to see if your target is alive. If not, it deselects it (no target).
/cast hunter's mark will only attempt to cast hunter's mark if you have a (live) selected target. Without this switch , it would attempt to target nothing (no target) and give error message.
/petattack also checks for a live target. If none, there will not be an error message because it ends.

#showtooltip NIQ
/target Moonstalker Sire
/cleartarget
/cast hunter's mark
/petattack

NIQ - on Classic - Pagle (Alliance)

Commentaire de Saluun

Newb at making macros here but I believe macroing your shots in this way-

#showtooltip Arcane Shot
/cast Arcane Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/petattack

-would maximize your damage. It makes your pet attack whichever target you cast Arcane Shot (or whichever shot you interchange with Arcane Shot in the macro) and, if you don't have enough mana for that shot, it still has your character cast Auto Shot.

Commentaire de Sythen

/castsequence !Aspect of the Hawk, !Aspect of the Cheetah

This is super useful for getting around.

Commentaire de LoKHor

/petattack doesn't work. Anyone have a fix?

I have tried
#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/petattack
/cast Hunter's Mark

and:
#showtooltip
/cast Hunter's Mark
/petattack

The Hunter's Mark goes up but my pet just stays by my side...

Edit: I deleted the macro and rewrote it exactly the same; and it worked. Hope this helps someone that encounters this glitch/bug.

Commentaire de Chumpers

Has anyone gotten the Feign Death macro to work?

It seems that when I attempt to use it I successfully cast feign death, recall my pet but the ice trap doesn't drop.

Am I misunderstanding the way this macro should work?

Commentaire de RevivedFate

Can the /petattack command be used with a tag?

for example, I do not always want the pet to run in when using my hunters mark macro, ie.

#showtooltip Hunter's Mark
/petattack <--- would like to add the to this line
/cast Hunter's Mark

but can not seem to get the modifier to work.

Commentaire de Vorishgo

typo in:
/statattack
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Counterattack
/cast Mongoose Bite
should be
/startattack

Commentaire de lordmayhem

I use this macro to feed my pet:

#showtooltip 3 1
/cast Feed Pet
/use 3 1

This macro casts Feed Pet then uses the item in Bag 3 Slot 1. So all you have to do is put your pet food in that spot and click the macro. Being that your showing the tooltip for that specific bag spot, it will also so you how many of that item you have without opening your bags.

If you want to change the location, just change the numbers. The first number is which bag you are using 0-4 with 0 being your main pack. The second number is which slot in the bag the item is in.

Commentaire de rsreaver

Here's the quality of life macro I use for my hunter.

If your pet is alive it will attack your target.
If your pet is dismissed it will call it.
If your pet is dead it will revive it (for some reason this works better if you're not currently targeting anything, don't know why).
If you hold shift and click it will heal your pet.
If you hold control and click it will dismiss your pet.

Feel free to change the modifiers or tooltip spell to whatever suits you.

#showtooltip Mend Pet
/petattack
/petassist
/cast Revive Pet
/cast Call Pet
/cast Mend Pet
/cast Dismiss Pet
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Commentaire de Furydeath

/statattack
/cast Raptor Strike
/cast Counterattack
/cast Mongoose Bite

doesn't work classic macros only seem to do two spells per macro anything after the 2nd one never casts

Commentaire de Skittz

Is there a way to use the "Initiation Macro" above by adding Aspect of the Hawk to it? I tried just adding /cast !Aspect of the Hawk and it did not work for me.

Commentaire de ratsnacks

Why there is an exclamation mark in front of commands instead of a forward slash? o _ O

Commentaire de Ezmaralda

Finally! Some hunter and pet macros that actually work! The petattack macros on other sites don't work.

Commentaire de Ellivoc

Is there a way to write a macro that would allow you to active Aspect of the Hawk when you use a shot, but not cause reactivation of it every time you use the shot?

Commentaire de Hertf

'Low Mana Wing Clip' macro doesn't work.

Commentaire de kj417

I use this one to call my pet. It's useful while leveling since I die a lot. One button will get my pet out, regardless of if he's alive or not. And when the first two conditions are not met (meaning the pet is out and alive), it switches to Mend Pet. This allowed me to free up two action bar slots. I tried adding a shift modifier for Feed Pet but I use this macro by pressing Shift+4 already so that doesn't work.

#showtooltip
/cast Revive Pet
/cast Call Pet
/cast Mend Pet

If you want to click this macro instead of assigning a keybind to the action bar, you can add Feed Pet to it:

/cast Feed Pet
