Lately I’ve been trying to write macros for my hunter to make life a little easier. Going through the web and sort of picking out things from here and there I have managed to make a few macros to make things a step or two shorter.

Focus Target
/focus target

This I use in combination with Assist Focus and Pet Assist Focus on the Main Tank. If you in an instance or raid and are afraid of breaking Sheep or other CC, you use this macro first to get focus on your tank then you use the Assist Focus which will start using Auto shot on your tanks target, or Pet Assist Focus to send your pet out to your tanks target. Keep in mind that you only need to focus on your Tank once during the instance, irregardless of having a wipe or what not.

Assist Focus
/assist focus
/cast !Auto shot

Pet Assist Focus
/assist focus
/cast Hunter’s Mark(Rank 4)
/petattack

The Pet assist Focus can be useful in other situations as well. For example you are given the trust of Freeze Trapping a target what you do is after the initial pull you use this macro to have your pet start attacking while you freeze trap your target.

Distracting Shot
#showtooltip
/cast Distracting Shot(Rank 7)
/stopcasting

Using a Distracting Shot macro makes it easier for anyone who has auto shot go off automatically after using a Distracting Shot, when trying to pull a mob onto a Freezing Trap. This will help you avoid breaking your own traps by using the /Stopcasting command right after.

Feed Pet
/cast [nocombat] Feed Pet; [combat] Mend Pet
/use [pet:Bear/Boar/Wind Serpent, nocombat] Conjured Manna Biscuit; [pet:Cat/Ravager/Wolf, nocombat] Smoked Talbuk Venison

This Feed Pet macro is somewhat self explanatory. It checks to see if you are in combat, if you are it will Mend Pet, otherwise it will feed it a specific food accordingly by pet race. Currently I use a Wind Serpent on 25 man raids, like taking advantage of the free food a mage can conjure for you via a table or spell. On the other hand I use a Ravager for my instance, and heroic runs and like using the cheaper of the two high level vendor meats.

Self Bandage
/use [target=player] Heavy Netherweave Bandage

This is self explanatory, it will use a Heavy Netherweave Bandage on you.

I’m sure there are other useful macros available out there, such as shot rotation macros, and even for equipping specific gear for certain situations.
