Overview

The Marksmanship hunter is ideal for anyone who loves sitting back, doing damage, and making it incredibly frustrating for opponents to get near you. You have a lot of the utility that Survival hunters have, only missing Strider Kick and reduced cooldowns on your traps and Deterrence but lack the damage in melee range that they have. With that being said, since a hunter's main goal is ALWAYS to space people and do damage from range, Marksmanship excels at this above every other spec. The Marksmanship hunter excels most in battlegrounds and open world PvP, so if that's something you enjoy this is absolutely the spec for you!

Marksman Talents

Hawk Eye Improved Concussive Shot Lethal Attacks

- Hawk Eye are the best three talent point you can put in any tree. Most casters only have a 35 yard casting range so you will have a 6 yard advantage on them. Melee often are locked at 25 yard range for things like Intercept so you are easily able to kite them and maximize the damage you deal to them at the same time.
- Improved Concussive Shot This talent is very good but it's awkward to fit into a spec unless you drop Rapid Killing and Rapid Recuperation. Improved Concussive Shot is an incredibly useful talent which provides a lot of utility in PvP, there's almost never a bad time for a RNG stun to proc especially since you have no way to DR said stun. In isolated 1v1 scenarios, Improved Concussive Shot is the clear victor over alternatives, but if your goal is to play lots of battlegrounds then I reccomend taking Rapid Killing and Rapid Recuperation over this talent.
- Lethal Attacks This talent got reworked in WoW Forever. It gives you a flat 5% crit chance on both your melee and ranged attacks. Since hunters are a crit based class and it gives you crit on everything you press this talent is a no brainer.

Improved Stings Efficiency Careful Aim

- Both Improved Stings and Efficiency don't really provide much utility in PvP relative to their counterpart in Careful Aim. Given that you need to spec into Careful Aim to progress into one of the best talents for hunters in general in Mortal Shots, you can't really afford to allocate points into either Improved Stings or Efficiency.
- Careful Aim Provides you more attack power, which makes you do more damage from both your melee and ranged abilities as well as your Auto Shot and normal melee swings. Combine this with needing 5 points into it in order to get Mortal Shots it makes Careful Aim the clear winner in this tree for where to spend your points.

Rapid Killing Improved Arcane Shot Lone Wolf

- Rapid Killing only really provides some value in BG's and is more of a meme than anything else. The talent is meant to unlock Rapid Recuperation for Marksmanship hunters. In the open world Rapid Killing is a bit lack luster since it only procs off of killing blows on players or their pets. In battlegrounds however, since you're constantly fighting and interacting with players you have lots of uptime for this talent which basically yields a 20% damage increase on your big shots on demand, not including the mana you gain from Rapid Recuperation.
- Improved Arcane Shot is is not very good unless you put lots of points into it, and since you have limited points in the marksmanship tree your talent points are better allocated elsewhere.
- Lone Wolf is a very interesting talent. You have the option of running around with no pet, activating Lone Wolf and being able to have big burst windows with your Aimed Shot Arcane Shot Auto Shot and then pulling your pet out after if you feel you need your pet to help you in the fight you're in. Keep in mind, pets typically offer a lot of utility which means there's a decent amount of opportunity cost to not having a pet out. This makes the decision of when to call your pet out vs when not to have it out a very high skill ceiling, but for one talent point 20% increased damage is quite good and I recommend taking it.

Trueshot Aura Mortal Shots Improved Serpent Sting

- Trueshot Aura is a bit of a no brainer here. For one talent point it gives you a relatively big stat increase for when you are shooting your ranged weapon, and since your pets scale off your Ranged Attack Power it provides a good damage boost for when they are out and helping you in fights.
- Mortal Shots is a crucial talent for all hunter specs. Hunters revolve around critting people and bursting them down. Because of this, increasing your crit damage is an absolute no brainer.
- Improved Serpent Sting This talent isn't very good, it only affects your serpent sting and often times you don't want to be pressing this in PvP. It has a place, it's not bad to press but a target with serpent sting up is a target you can't trap. If you want to trap them you need to swap your sting to Scorpid Sting in order to remove the dot on them.

Rapid Recuperation Barrage Scatter Shot

- Rapid Recuperation is how you are meant to regenerate your mana as a hunter while you do damage. If you're specced into Rapid Killing you SHOULD spec into Rapid Recuperation. Being forced to use Serpent Sting to activate your regen feels a bit awkward though the added benefit of doubling your regen when you proc Rapid Killing makes it quite desirable for battlegrounds. If you would rather spend more time drinking and opt for more utility, spec into Improved Concussive Shot as mentioned above.
- Barrage increases the damage done by your main sources of damage-- Aimed Shot, and Multi-Shot, it's a solid talent.
- Scatter Shot is the most crucial hunter ability in this tier. Scatter Shot is a staple hunter ability, especially for both Marksman and Survival Hunters as it gives ways to guarantee traps or interrupt casts when casters are in your deadzone.

Ranged Weapon Specialization

- A solid talent that gives you a linear damage increase. Since Marksmanship is played for large burst windows.

Sniper Shot

- The Marksmanship capstone seems like a very strange ability at first glance. A 4 second cast does not feel good to press since your primary goal as a hunter is to space opponents and be on the move constantly which doesn't give you many opportunities to press Sniper Shot. However, in scenarios where you get people in a Freezing Trap create space and have time to cast this spell, Sniper Shot becomes an incredibly powerful button that enables you to space harder by giving you more range, and functions as your hardest hitting ability.

Survival Talents

Improved Tracking vs Deflection

- Both of these talents are great you can't really go wrong with either. Improved tracking makes you do 5% more damage to players since characters in the game are classified as Humanoid type mobs, Feral Druids in ALL forms are classified as beasts as are Shamans in ghost wolf. Deflection is only useful vs melee and pet classes, bringing your parry change up to 10% which is the only way you're able to proc Counterattack for a guaranteed root.

Entrapment Savage Strikes Survivalist Improved Wing Clip

- Entrapment is arguably nerfed in forever WoW. Those of us who remember Vanilla and TBC entrapment will know that it was similar to Improved Wing Clip, providing an RNG proc while people were affected by the aura of your trap. In forever, they changed it to be the functionality of Wrath of the Lich King while still good, is significantly worse than how it functioned in vanilla--Much of the strength of Wrath of the Lich King is tied to Snake Trap proccing the root as well. The biggest issue with this talent is when you choose to use Freezing Trap, which is typically your best frost school of trap, it guaranteed roots someone who is already CC'd. When they get out of the Freezing Trap and get back to you, they are now DR'd for the next entrapment proc from Immolation Trap which makes the talent very awkward to use.
- The most consistent talent in this row is definitely Survivalist. 2% HP per point is a solid amount of health that scales with buffs and gear over time and is not something that should be looked over.
- Savage Strikes is more of a Survival hunter talent and shouldn't be considered in Marksman in my opinion, which limited points in the survival tree, fitting 2 points into this is not that good.
- Improved Wing Clip is a very good talent when people are on top of you and you are trying to build distance. Since Counterattack is only available to you when you parry an attack, pressing wing clip every global fishing for a proc for a 5 second root is a great way to guarantee either a trap that people can't move out of or simply root someone. The reason I choose 3/3 Improved Wing Clip and 2/5 Survivalist is simple. If you read the talents, the first talent point gives you 7% the second talent point gives you 6% and the third gives you another 7%. Alternatively, if you read Survivalist it's completely linear, it's 2% per talent point. This means that 2/3 points of Improved Wing Clip is the least efficient point distribution of the three points you are able to put into it.

Clever Traps Surefooted Deterrence

- Clever Traps Unlike retail WoW there isn't a maximum crowd control time on players. For example. At level 30 Freezing trap lasts for 10 seconds, this talent extends that time by another 3 seconds for a total of 13. With higher ranks, this goes up and allows you more time to reset in 1v1's to either gain health and mana by eating and drinking or repositioning to do maximum damage or both. Also, It makes Frost Trap last for 39 seconds instead of 30 seconds which is incredibly useful in lots of scenarios
- Surefooted This talent is one of the best talents that has ever existed in World of Warcraft for two reasons.
- 1: Hit rating is king in World of Warcraft up to 5%. This talent gives you 3% physical hit and 3% spell hit. Since you are a physical DPS class, you need 5% hit to never miss against a target your level--other players--for offensive melee and ranged abilities. For spells--traps and scare beast--you need 4% hit to never miss. This talent gives you 60% of the hit rating you need for that which is the biggest single DPS increase and utility increase you are able to get in the game for PHYSICAL spells--Aimed Shot, Scatter Shot,Wing Clip for example--and 75% of the hit rating you need for MAGIC spells--Freezing Trap, Scare Beast. At very low gear levels this portion of the talent alone makes this talent incredibly valuable.
- 2: This talent reduces the duration of all slows and roots on you by 30% This means things like Hamstring Frost Nova and Crippling Poison II don't last as long on you and give you more opportunity to play your character when crucial things like Free Action Potion aren't available to you.
- Deterrence This talent is your biggest source of mitigating damage against melee classes when they are stuck on top of you. Typically you use deterrence as a way to preserve HP when something like a Warrior, Rogue, or Enhancement is on you and things like Freezing Trap are on cooldown which means you have no way to kite them. Since this talent gives you 25% increased chance to parry, this greatly increased your chance to proc a Counterattack and transition into ranged so you can resume shooting people.
- All of these talents are insanely good, just spec into all of them HAHAHAHA

Survival Tactics Predator's Edge Counterattack

- Survival Tactics May seem not that useful at first glance but it gives you two benefits. As mentioned earlier, if you're under the 4% spell hit cap threshold it guarantees your traps land on targets of your level and increases your chances against levels HIGHER than you if you choose to spec survival while leveling. Furthermore, IF this client functions as it does in classic spell hit cap above the base of 4% functions as a pseudo spell penetration; this means that if people have things like frost resistance, you're able to effectively penetrate that with 1 singular talent point.
- Predator's Edge From everything I understand about hunter, this talent is horrible and not worth speccing into. There's a chance that in the future tuning for dual wielding ends up being better but as it currently stands, and has always stood, all your melee abilities scale better with a two hander and since survival functions as a ranged melee hybrid you would much prefer using a two handed weapon as opposed to 2 one handed weapons.
- Counterattack This is one of the best talents in the game, it's a 5 second root which doesn't have a diminishing return so you are able to chain it given good parry procs and make melee classes completely miserable. As mentioned earlier you're also able to use this on people to guarantee land a Freezing Trap and run away if need be.

Gameplay & Rotation

A hunter's job, regardless of spec is to maximize the amount of Auto Shot's they land on a target. For most players, I would recommend using a swing timer in order to see when your auto shot is off cooldown in order to not lose any damage. If you've ever played league of legends, or watched it, it's similar to an ADC that is "orb walking." Your goal is to shoot, move, shoot, move, repeat and denying people into your space.
Sniper Shot is basically only usable in situations when people are committed to hitting other targets and you are able to find 4 seconds to cast without them getting too close, or ranging it, or interrupting it. Your best options for using this are when people are affected by Freezing Trap, stuck in a root from Counterattack or Improved Wing Clip, or unaware of your existence. Combine with Multi-Shot and Arcane Shot for large burst damage that surprises people and they aren't able to recover from.
While keeping the aforementioned detail in mind, your filler DPS abilities from ranged are Aimed Shot, Multi-Shot, and Arcane Shot.
- Aimed Shot and Multi-Shot share a cooldown so the way you use them will be very different. For Single target DPS Aimed Shot will do more damage, though you have to stand still and cast it which enables people to get close to you and disrupt how you want to play. Therefore, you should only really use Aimed Shot on targets that are either in Freezing Trap OR on classes like Rogue who have no way to close the distance while you use it. If you decide to cast it on a melee target that is waddling towards you, I suggest you cast Concussive Shot first so they are either unable to run out of range of it or get close enough to you with something like Sprint.
- Since Aimed Shot is an ability that requires you to stand still, most of the time when you are kiting people you will look to Multi-Shot since it's a very small "cast" time. You can time it with your auto shot cooldown on your swing timer and land and Auto Shot and Multi-Shot and effectively be on the move again while spacing enemies so they aren't able to hit you.
- Arcane Shot is an ability you use either at the end of an Aimed Shot cast for the biggest burst window you have available to you, or while you're on the move to space people.
When people are in melee range as survival you have to assess the situation and determine what the best course of action is for yourself. Regardless of if someone is low on HP or not, you are able to double up abilities like Raptor Strike since it replaces your next auto attack and Wing Clip in the same global to either fish for a root because of Improved Wing Clip.
If you think you are in a disadvantaged situation in melee--you often are--then you should aim to land a freezing trap on the target, ensure it lands by doing things like pressing Scatter Shot first or landing an Improved Wing Clip or Counterattack if Scatter Shot is on cooldown. If you don't have the luxury for waiting for a guaranteed trap from a root you a normal Wing Clip is typically good enough to land a trap on someone.
It's important to note that Scatter Shot and Freezing Trap share a diminishing return. That means that your trap will last half as long on a target you use Scatter Shot on first.
As a general rule of thumb, you want to have Hunter's Mark on your target when you are hitting them since it gives you more attack power making your large burst windows even more potent. Open with Hunter's Mark if you have the global to do so, if not look for windows when someone is in a Freezing Trap and you're creating distance to apply it.
Viper Sting This ability is so overpowered they nerfed it in WoW Forever. What I mean by that is originally in Classic, there was no cooldown on this spell. Hunters were able to have 100% uptime on Viper Sting on classes such as mages and priests. Hunters would bide their time, drain most mana classes to 0 then move in for the kill. While this strategy is still viable and incredibly potent vs mana classes, having a 15 second cooldown means that it's going to take longer to accomplish this especially as a Survival Hunter.
Aspect of the Cheetah is an insanely good spell that every hunter should get used to using and toggling. As I mentioned in the talent section, Hawk Eye gives you the ability to outrange every single class in the game and when used in conjunction with Aspect of the Cheetah and Concussive Shot you are able to space people so well that they are unable to get to you and they are relegated to being a mob in the open world. The most important thing to talk about is the punishment from Aspect of the Cheetah. If you take ANY DIRECT damage while in this aspect, you will be dazed for 4 seconds. This means you need a have a macro /cancelaura Aspect of the Cheetah to prevent people from dazing you assuming they are able to get close enough to you to force a daze from range.
Your pet is a big source of your damage, you should look to have it hit your target, though you don't ever want it to die. Make sure you use things like Move To and Follow to keep your pet out of danger if it ever ends up in a bad position or people start focusing it. You can use your pet micro to your advantage and since you are the main source of damage and your pet is mostly just a side character.
Flare is the most fun hunter spell in your toolkit in my opinion. It's useful obviously against Rogue to reveal them from stealth or instantly break their Vanish ability but also against Warlock which may seem a bit more nuanced. In the event a Warlock is usingSummon Succubus, it will reveal their invisible, allowing you to range or interrupt their Seduction which is a powerful tool they use to setup kill windows on you.

Suggested Races

Alliance vs Horde often makes little difference when it comes to the decision you make on full class optimization. Both factions are typically quite good and what matters more than the race you pick is how you end up piloting your character more than anything. With that being said, there are still races that shine over others on alliance and horde given those circumstances.

Alliance

Night Elf: Night Elf is probably the best race you can pick as a hunter. Hunter has and always will be a critical strike based class. Given that, adding 10% increased critical chance via Elune's Light on things like Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot, Auto Shot Raptor Strike gives you insane one shot potential if all of these abilities crit in the window that your racial is popped. Also, hunters typically struggle more against casters than anything else. WoW Forever has reworked Shadowmeld to be usable in combat and will function as a Feign Death when people are casting spells on you. The more options you have at your disposal to disrupt casters from doing what they want is incredibly useful as a hunter!
Dwarf: While Dwarf is probably the least appealing from an offensive standpoint it's quite good from a defensive standpoint. While Hunters fair quite well into rogues in general things like Blind are extremely annoying for resetting fights between their stun DR's and gives you an opportunity to run them down when they have no ability to defend themselves. For this reason Stoneform is incredibly potent and shouldn't be undervalued.
Human: I think people get a bit baited by the racial Will to Survive. While there's value out of getting out of stuns I think consumables like Living Action Potion and Free Action Potion make this racial a bit lackluster compared to its alternatives. With that being said The static 2% crit gained from being a human equates to 2 talent points which is pretty good, and the 5% spirit buff ends up being quite good for both a PvP and PvE setting for mana regen.
Skybourne: I don't think this race is as good as any of the alternatives for PvP I wouldn't really consider it. Pretty much just roll it if you don't care about hyper min-maxing your racials and like how they look.

Horde

Orc: A hunter's biggest weakness in PvP has always been Warlock. With the most recent update to Shatter Curse, the diminishing return you get from magic damage and the fact that you are no longer immune to Curses and Banes during the duration makes it a not very appealing racial by any means. Blood Fury On the other hand, is quite powerful from an offensive standpoint. You can do things like use Rapid Fire and Blood Fury together to land maximum damage on people with your Aimed Shot Arcane Shot Auto Shot burst window.
Troll: Similar to Orc, troll is looking to cover your weaknesses by giving you things like health regeneration when you are low health. You will be able to do things like Freezing Trap someone use your Rapid Regeneration and be topped off to get back into the fight sooner. Similar to orc, Berserking is a good offensive tool which enables you to get more Auto Shot's off during it's window as well as reduce the cast time of Aimed Shot and Sniper Shot.
Tauren: Tauren is an interesting race. As mentioned earlier Hunter is a critical strike based class and having 2% more damage on your critical strikes is a small increase to your burst windows. From a utility aspect, mount movement speed is quite good in the open world and battlegrounds especially given that it stacks with other mount speed items and shouldn't be looked over. Being able to quickly get across battlegrounds or chase down enemies in the open world is something people won't often think about when picking a race but can definitely be useful. Lastly, War Stomp being a 90 second cooldown and a way to help you guarantee traps can be quite enticing when players are on top of you.
Skybourne: I don't think this race is as good as any of the alternatives for PvP I wouldn't really consider it. Pretty much just roll it if you don't care about hyper min-maxing your racials and like how they look.

Professions

Engineering

Engineering, Engineering, Engineering. This profession gives you access to more utility, more crowd control, and more damage than any other alternative and is basically mandatory in WoW Forever. Things like Goblin Rocket Boots paired with Free Action Potion enable you to kite people while running significantly faster than them, or match their speed if they choose to do that as well. Also things like Goblin Land Mine Goblin Mortar and Thorium Grenade give you huge burst opportunities on players who are in freezing trap or at low hp.

First Aid

First Aid is a mandatory secondary profession in World of Warcraft. It gives you access to powerful utility tools such as Powerful Anti-Venom and Heavy Runecloth Bandage. As a non hybrid class, hunters lack the ability to heal themselves or remove things like poisons and diseases. First Aid functions as a band aid fix to one of the major flaws that pure dps classes suffer from--lack of utility.

Pets

Cat

Currently the highest dps pet in the game. While a cat has no direct qualitative utility, it has Faster Attack VII which provides things like spell push back against casters. When paired when things like Claw Dash and Bite your pet will have lots of uptime on targets for good damage against cloth targets.

Crocodile

Crocodile has a new ability in WoW forever called Dismember. Traditionally referred to as Mortal Strike, reducing the healing someone receives by a quarter is a massive benefit in PvP for most classes since they will look to use things like Major Discolored Healing Potion if they have no direct heals or Heavy Runecloth Bandage to recover their health. While it's not as strong as Mortal Strike, having some sort of healing debuff when you're by yourself still has its merits.

Bat

Similar to the crocodile, bats have a new ability in WoW forever called Sonic Blast. The casting debuff is not as potent as Curse of Tongues or Mind-numbing Poison III but it's still quite good when you tag a cater with the debuff. While also slowing their casting speed, it also makes their global cooldown longer and lasts for 30 seconds while being undispellable. The only way for this ability to be removed is with immunities such as Ice Block and Divine Shield.

Tallstrider

Tallstrider has a very unique spell called Dust Cloud. At max rank it reduces it's target's armor by 505 which provides a relatively large damage increase for you and anyone that's hitting the target your pet is on so long as they're doing physical damage.

Spider

A Spider is the definition of utility. If you like on demand spells when you can use to either get you to your target when you're far away, or get people off of you when they're on you then Web is the perfect spell for you. The only downside for abilities such as Web is they are countered by abilities such as Blessing of Freedom, and potions like Living Action Potion and Free Action Potion

Consumables

Magic Dust

Magic Dust is potentially the single most overpowered consumable in World of Warcraft. It's a ranged CC that lasts for 30 seconds and shares a diminishing return with Freezing Trap. In the event you are ever outnumbered in the world you can use this to even the playing field by CCing someone from range in order to pick who you want to kill before dealing with anyone else. Keep in mind the CC that Magic Dust does is considered a sleep, which means that Undead players are able to use their Will of the Forsaken to break it

Free Action Potion

In terms of potions, Free Action Potion (FAP) are your best tool against most melee classes and things like mages. For mages in particular, their main goal is to get on top of you, Frost Nova you, and look to kill you while in your deadzone--the range window where you're unable to press any offensive actions on them except for Scatter Shot. The Free Action Potion will be incredibly useful when a mage blinks on top of you, making you immune to Frost Nova, Cone of Cold Frostbite and allowing you to save your Feign Death spell for their Polymorph.

Living Action Potion

The Living Action Potion or LAP as people often refer to them as is your main tool when you are stuck in something like a rogue Kidney Shot and you need to get out immediately. As you can tell, LAPS only last for 5 seconds, where FAPS last for 30 seconds. LAPS are more of a last resort consume, think of them as a get out of jail free card when you are stuck in a bad situation and you need to reset a fight.

Potion of Poison Cleansing

The best consume hands down against Rogue. Their goal is to stay on top of you with things like Crippling Poison II, which is the strongest slow in the game. This consumable has no cooldown so you are able to spam it and cleanse yourself from the rogue slow in order to get distance and shoot them from range.

Heavy Runecloth Bandage

One of two ways you're able to restore your health while fighting. For pure DPS classes like hunter who don't have access to any healing in their kit, First Aid is a mandatory profession. Keep in mind, if you're bandaging any damage you take will interrupt the effect. This means that if you have any sort of DOT on you i.e. Shadow Word: Pain, Corruption Rend you will effectively waste your bandage and not get any healing from it. In the event you are loaded with dots and you need to heal, your only options are things like healing potions, or trapping someone and feign death eating food

Flash Bomb

Druids will hat you for using this consume. If a druid is on you in form, you are able to instantly fear them for 10 seconds with Flash Bomb. Unlike traditional fears, this one functions more as a stun meaning it won't break to damage giving you a full 10 seconds to blast damage into them and kill them.

Thorium Grenade

Grenades are a super versatile tool that you should always carry on you. You can use them to guarantee Freezing Trap on players, you can use them on players who are in Freezing Trap after an Aimed Shot to stun them and deny them from using things like heals and time it with a more damage off.

Flask of Petrification

Realistically nobody is going to do this but it's something you are able to do. Flask of Petrification functions as a Divine Intervention. What that means is let's say you're overloaded with Warlock and Priest DOTS, you can use this flask to clear you of ALL debuffs and then either right click it off or have a macro /cancelaura flask of petrification to immediately start moving again as this flask will essentially turn your character into a statue for 60 seconds where you can't any spells or move. Typically an extremely expensive consumable, and an extremely niche one, but for those who want to be overly prepared for all scenarios it's worth having in your bag.

Useful Macros

/cast [target=pet,dead] Revive Pet; [target=pet,exists] Mend Pet; Revive Pet

This is a one button macro to heal your pet if it's alive and revive your pet if it dies saving you keybinds long term.

#showtooltip

/stopcasting

/cast Feign Death

Feign Death is an incredibly useful tool to break up caster combos on you. Sometimes you will be in the middle of things like an Aimed Shot cast and notice someone is casting on you, in that case you're better off cancelling your Aimed Shot cast and repositioning since spacing is king as a hunter. This macro allows you to do that in 1 button

/cancelaura Aspect of the Cheetah

This is something you need to get used to using and have a good bind for. As mentioned above, you will often toggle Aspect of the Cheetah on and off in order to build distance from other players. This macro enabled you to quickly take Aspect of the Cheetah off WITHOUT incurring a global cooldown by pressing something like Improved Aspect of the Monkey or Aspect of the Hawk.

#showtooltip

/cast !Eagle Eye

This one might seem a bit strange for a PvP guide but it's an incredibly powerful tool in the open world. This macro allows you to hop your Eagle Eye ability so you can scout zones from a safe space. Knowledge is power in PvP and knowing what you are getting yourself into allows you to pick people off or hide.

#showtooltip Scatter Shot

/stopattack

/stopcasting

/cast Scatter Shot

/stopattack

This is just a macro to ensure that you don't break your own scatter when you press it.

#showtooltip

/cast !Flare

This allows you to spam your flare bind without the reticle disappearing.

#showtooltip Rapid Fire

/cast Rapid Fire

/cast Blood Fury

/cast Elune's Light

/cast Berserking

A one button macro to maximize your damage when you're at range regardless of what race you are, assuming your race has a damage racial. For higher skill players you may want to stagger things like Rapid Fire and your racial but it's such a small min max that using this macro is fine 99% of the time.
