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.

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.
