EPIC hunter Pet Macro

[CaptianCrook]

This is probably going to get NERFED faster than you can say Ghostcrawler but here you go while it lasts. Everyone knew you could cycle through pets using their abilities but it seemed clunky doing that crap in battle well, solution follows.

Setting up the Macro:
Click your Call Pet skill. The FIRST pet closest to the button is named 1, then next one in line is 2 and so forth.

The Macro:
/castsequence Dismiss Pet, Call Pet 1, Dismiss Pet, Call Pet 2, Dismiss Pet, Call Pet 3


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


Practical uses include:
Summoning multiple pets for PvE buffs.
Monkey stun --> Spider web --> Monkey stun in PvP
The possibilities are endless

Omg... +rep

Did you create this macro and came up with the idea?

It's been known you can do this, but impractical. With this macro it makes it very practical

And yes the macro is solely mine. Forgot to note you can add/remove as many " Dismiss Pet, Call Pet 3" lines as you want. Can use it for just 2 or up to 5 pets.

Maybe I missed something, but how exactly is this an exploit? Basically you made a macro to save like one button press in between calling pets?

That's what macros are for.

No, this will allow you to have more then one pet out at a time, i did try it a few weeks back and it was a PITA to get to work.. never did think about making a macro to do it. Good job Captian +rep

Erm well I just tried it. What am I doing wrong? Start with a pet out, spam click the macro?

[CaptianCrook]

this macro lets you quickly summon pets to use all of their abilities

Instead of waiting for a 60 sec cooldown monkey stun, you can do this and have one ready in 2 seconds

Err... I think I'm missing something here.

How does this allow you to have multiple pets out at the same time? And if not the same time, then yes, it's exactly how macros were intended to be used and not an exploit...

EDIT: Not even mentioning the cast time on Dismiss Pet being a thing. No moving, and I believe it interrupts you if you're hit(not positive).

If this is what you're making it sound like, it's a very simple macro that does not exploit the game or the system in any way.

It's not an exploit dude, unless you actually are summoning and using three different pets. Using a macro to circumvent standard summoning and dismissing clicks is exactly what it is intended to do.

[Janube]

Theoretically, you could do that without a macro as long as you're fast enough.
And the only thing this does is streamline the process, which is exactly what macros are meant to do.

I recognize that individual pets aren't supposed to be used for their special ability sequentially, but that's been posted about here before. How is this macro different from those other posts?
And if it's not, you should've posted it in one of those other topics.

I suppose you're right.

I assume Blizzard never intended for hunters to swap pets so quickly and use up all of their abilities, and seeing as this would be against game design it should be posted in the exploit section. Most people know how to switch pets and re-use abilities but it was never affective, i thought this deserved it's own post since I detail how to ACTUALLY go about doing it and it being useful.

Useless in pve

Could perhaps be useful in pvp but the cast of dismiss pet is gonna be a bitch.

[Vyre]

It would be really, really useless in PvP, i don't even think you can dismiss / summon a pet, once the battle starts. (NOT SURE!) I stopped playing just before cata, so it might be different.

Pve, it might be usefull just before starting a boss fight for buffs, but really, it's so minor, you have to get your leader to tell you when you can start doing it, or he does a long countdown for it to work...

It might work on high level PvE where you need every tiny bit of DPS increase you can get, but anyway, i dont think it's that usefull

And definately not an exploit, should've been in the macro section.

This is usefull check out "Hasuit 1 - 2600 HLS Hunter POV" on warcraftmovies, the hunter is dismissing pet and using different pet all the time to CC
