WoW: Classic - Hunter One Button Macro & How To Use It

You’ve probably heard the talk about the Hunter one button macro. Well, it was real, but unfortunately has been removed.

Update: Since TBC Classic's live release, this macro is no longer working. The below method is how it worked but Blizzard removed it and isn't usable any longer.

So yeah, this was really a thing, and it worked. The macro worked by taking your ranged attack speed and firing a Steady Shot in between shots, making sure not to clip an auto-attack. This can be done easily without a macro, however, this macro takes out the human error (unless you forget to hit the button). The macro requires you to change just one set of numbers to make it work, which we’ll explain after the macro.

The Macro

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/run UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/castsequence reset=2.03 Steady Shot, !Auto Shot
/use [exists,target=pettarget] Kill Command
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

That’s the macro, and all you’ll need to change is the third line “/castsequence reset=X.XX” replace that “X.XX” with your ranged attack speed.

A point of contention

Some people have claimed that you need to change the above number constantly. For Heroism, when you get haste etc. Now, in theory, that’s true, and based on old forum posts from 2008/09 it would seem that was the logic then. Testing now seems to be that, if you keep it at your unbuffed attack speed (changing when you get a new weapon) you should be fine.
