EPIC hunter Pet Macro

[Vixxi]

You cannot call a pet while in combat.

I seriously hope this guy gets a refraction for posting a theory that doesn't work.

[Janube]

Regardless, a good player would be able to dismiss and call a pet without the macro and actually have MORE control over which pet he gets depending on the situation.

However, I'm in the boat that would suggest unless someone is trying to RUN from you, that 3.5 seconds(2 second Dismiss, GCD for call pet) is better spent doing something else in either pvp or pve.

To the guy above me:
You can call a pet in pve combat, and I'm quite certain you can do it in non-arena pvp.

Now if we're talking arena specifically, I don't know.

The only way this could ever possibly work is Pet 1 uses stun, Hunter uses trap. Hunter waits 5 seconds to go OOC. Hunter dismisses Pet 1, calls Pet 2. Pet 2 uses stun, Hunter FD's. Hunter somehow gets a Dismiss Pet off. Hunter calls Pet 3. Pet 3 uses stun.

It's never going to work. Stop posting your theories to explain the original theory. It does not work, lock thread.

Let me rephrase this "You cannot call a pet while in combat" so people don't get confused and wet themselves.If you have a pet summoned already but it does not spawn, you can use "Call Pet" to summon it. If you do not have a pet summoned, either it died or you dismissed it. Using "Call Pet" will not work in combat. AT ALL, IN ALL SITUATIONS.

I can call my pet, res my pet, and dismiss my pet in combat. I don't know what game you play, but it isn't WoW.

[Janube]

Yeah, Vixxi, what game are you playing...?

I just now, JUST NOW, walked over to Elwynn Forest, got a spider to attack me, and dismissed/called my pet roster without a problem while in combat the whole time...

It does work in arena, I've tested this thoroughly. I will admit unless you are a TRULY good player this will not seem that amazing to you. But other Glad / high rated hunter's like myself will understand how powerful this macro is. There is no room for extra keybindings to summon/dismiss every pet, nor TO CLICK them.

"In Theory:
You can have three monkey pets, and use all three pet stuns in about 10 seconds."

[NO THEORY]

Your right, its fact! I just did it on target dummies. Remember it doesn't HAVE to be 3 monkey pets, you could have spiders for web, crocs for slow.

[CuT]

Can someone please show me the exploit?

I dont think blizzard really cares that you're using a 3 second cast to dismiss a pet and then use a new one's ability.

Reported for move to guides and +rep for creative use of game mechanics

The line bordering game mechanics and exploitation is very thin in this case. Yes, Blizzard intended for hunters to switch pets for different abilities. No, Blizzard did not intend a player to own 5 monkey pets and basically CC half an arena team.

Also Dismiss Pet is a 2second cast, not sure if it's affected by spells like bloodlust, but its VERY easy to use in place of a Steady Shot/ Cobra Shot.

With 8% Haste I can get off an Explosive Shot, Dismiss pet, Cobra Shot, before Explosive shot is ready again.

With 8% haste + Rapid Fire, I can ES, Dismiss, CS, CS, ES without clipping.

I have been calling my fkn spider in combat every day for years. You deserve a ban.

I agree... that guy is an idiot. You have ALWAYS been able to call and dismiss pets in combat. He is making a BS post and claiming something that isn't true.

I'll admit you win if blizz patches this. I dont NOT in any way see it possible to get LOL 5 dismiss pets in a 5v5 match. MAYBE, go ahead and prove me wrong, you could do it if you were out of LOS 2-3 times which would prove helpful I SUPPOSE. It is not going to be an APPLICABLE strategy in my eyes with CONSISTENT RESULTS.

Still cool strat bro would probably be helpful for things like soling trash tho! Thats the best way for this to be freaking EPIC imo.

Thx again, i think i repped.

[7itanium]

This is definately an exploit

blizz did NOT intend for a person to use 3 different pet abilities at the same time without a major PITA... this macro is epic
+rep

[Mashmed]

This shit has been possible since they introduced call stabled pet. Also the best use for this is having 3 ferocity pets and use Call of the Wild on those 3 having 10% ap x3 up for about 3 seconds duration on the 3rd then about 6-7 on the 2nd and 10-12 on the 1st.
