Hunter Marksmanship Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Marksmanship Hunter: the burst key derived from the current top parses, plus the macros this spec actually uses. Spell names follow the language you pick on this site, so they match your game client.

This page lists ready-to-paste macros for Marksmanship Hunter. Its burst key is derived from the openers of three top-ranked players: an off-GCD cooldown is included only if it shows up early in enough of them. In raid that means Trueshot, seen in at least two of the three openers, with Aimed Shot as the first global and trinket /use lines attached. The Mythic+ AoE version opens with Multi-Shot and keeps Trueshot and the trinket lines. The Mythic+ single-target version also opens with Multi-Shot, adds Golden Luster at a one-of-three threshold, and drops the trinket lines. The eight spec macros lean heavily on one idea: never clip Rapid Fire by accident. Aimed Shot and Arcane Shot use a nochanneling condition so they will not fire mid-channel, Volley and Kill Shot stop the macro while Rapid Fire is channeling, and Disengage only cancels casting when you are not channeling. Counter Shot is a two-step key: it kicks your focus if you have one, otherwise it briefly grabs the nearest enemy, interrupts it and restores your old target. Paste them into the macro window using your client spell names.

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 2 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
