No problem!
By this, you mean a macro that letâs you control what your pet is attacking?
If thatâs what youâre talking about, itâs all good. Though you also have a regular keybind function for your pet attack-command. Meaning you do not need to have a macro for that purpose.
Go to:
Game Menu(Esc) â Key Bindings â Targeting â 5th one from the bottom of the list. Called âPet Attackâ.
If this is not what you were thinking of thenâŚmy bad
Technically, you can do something like this(Castsequence-macro):
Keep in mind that due to the global cooldown tied to pretty much all abilities that you have(especially offensive attacks and regular major cooldowns and such), you can not use several abilities at the same time.
It will always require multiple button clicks to cast multiple spells/abilities.
The macro is just something I made as Iâm writing this reply. Iâm by no means an expert on castsequence-macros soâŚIâm sure there are others out there who could build in more conditions and modifiers to make it more useful than this. But anyway, hereâs how it works:
#showtooltip Barbed Shot
/castsequence Barbed Shot, Kill Command, Cobra Shot
The macro collects 3 different abilities that you have
Barbed Shot which shoots at your current target.
It also has a built-in charge mechanic tied to your pet if its within range of the target(max 40 yards).
If you have Bestial Wrath on CD then Barbed Shot will also remove a portion of that CD every time itâs used.
And lastly, Barbed Shot will give your pet a buff called Frenzy for 8 seconds which increases your petâs attack speed by 30%(can stack up to 3 times).
Kill Command which is your high damage-ability on a short CD. Also has a built-in charge mechanic tied to your pet(max 50 yards).
Cobra Shot which is a basic Focus spender that does some damage and reduces the remaining CD on Kill Command by 1 second every time itâs used.
By using the above macro multiple times in a row, you will automatically cast the various abilities tied to the macro. In the order that they are typed in that is.
Click 1 = Barbed Shot
Click 2 = Kill Command
Click 3 = Cobra Shot
The tricky part is that your Focus level determines how many times you can quickly press the macro/ability without it failing.
Also, several of the abilities built in have a cooldown time, which means that the macro will fail to execute the next queued up ability until it comes off cooldown.
So, how could you utilize this while leveling?
I would recommend for you to have 2 other abilities placed near the macro on your action bar to keep track of.
Bestial Wrath which has a longer cooldown time. But gives you extra damage.
A Murder of Crows which is a talent option that is very good both for leveling as well as just in general.
Prioritize using the above mentioned abilities first. And after that, feel free to use the castsequence-macro repeatedly. Once the 2 abilities above comes off CD again, just use them.
Final note:
I would highly recommend for you not to rely on castsequence-macros. They take away much of the learning process where you figure out how abilities work and how you best want to use them.
They can also make it harder for you to keep track of all the abilities that are built in to them. As in, keeping track of available Barbed Shot stacks or cooldown, or the cooldown of Kill Command etc.
And like I mentioned above, Focus as a resource can make it tricky to work with such macros. They are easier for classes that have a resource which does not get depleted as quickly.
In my opinion, focus on leveling up first. Continue with the current content(BfA). You can always go back and finish the stuff connected to prior expansions later on.
