Why are opener macros important for Survival Hunters?
Opener macros help Survival Hunters execute their initial burst damage rotation efficiently. They ensure key abilities are used in a specific order, optimizing damage and resource generation at the start of a pull.
Can I integrate trinkets into my opener macro?
Yes, you can integrate 'use' trinkets into your opener macros. Place '/use 13' or '/use 14' (depending on trinket slot) within the macro, usually before your damage abilities, to activate them at the start.
How do I ensure my pet attacks with my opener?
To ensure your pet attacks with your opener, you can add '/petattack' to the beginning of your macro. This command will direct your pet to attack your current target as soon as the macro is activated.
