Flare (Cursor)

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.

Where to paste this

Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
Bind the action bar slot to a key as usual; the macro fires on key press.

Hunter macros first, then the rest of the WoW library.

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.
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.
