Interface
In the Midnight Pre-Patch a lot of addons are unable to do as much as they could before. You will need to use more of the default UI, with some customisation options being offered by addons.
When the best addons to use become clearer, we will update this guide section!
Macros
Spell & Pet Attack Macro
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR BM HUNTERS TO USE THIS MACRO FOR EVERY OFFENSIVE SPELL.
The auto-cast system from blizzard is super slow on pets and you might miss out, so make sure to use this macro.
#showtooltip “Ability Name”
/cast Wake Up
/petattack
/startattack
/cast “Ability Name”
/use Bite
/use Claw
/use Smack
Here is one example for Kill Command. It is recommended to macro these into every important ability while using a pet.
#showtooltip Kill Command
/cast Wake Up
/petattack
/startattack
/cast Kill Command
/use Bite
/use Claw
/use Smack
Aspect of the Turtle Cancel Aura
You can cancel Aspect of the Turtle by pressing it a second time but it has a small delay in case you click it too many times in a short period of time. This macro removes that delay so use carefully.
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Aspect of the Turtle
/cast Aspect of the Turtle
Misdirection Mouseover / Focus Macro
Misdirection is an important ability in Dungeons but also in Raids: This macro will cast Misdirection on the target you are currently mousing over. Otherwise it will cast on your Focus target.
#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead]Misdirection
Mouseover Barbed Shot Macro
Allows you to cast Barbed Shot on a target by just putting the cursor on it, no need to target it.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists, harm] Barbed Shot; Barbed Shot
If the cursor is not on an enemy nameplate, it will just cast it on your target instead. This is useful when you are playing the Master Handler Talent and want to easily apply Barbed shot on different targets at the same time, without switching your active target.
