FAQ

Why should a Beast Mastery Hunter use macros?

Beast Mastery Hunters have many abilities, and macros help combine them for smoother rotations and better pet control. This frees up keybinds and improves reaction time in fast-paced encounters.

Can I include my pet's abilities in my macros?

Yes, you can use '/cast [@pet] Pet Ability Name' to include pet-specific abilities. For most BM core abilities, your pet will automatically use its associated attack when you use yours.

How do I make a macro for my pet's special abilities like Growl?

You can use '/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target,harm,nodead] Growl' to cast pet abilities. For pet utility like Growl, it's often best to have it on a separate keybind or a mouseover macro for precise control.
