I have been playing with my macros lately. I have been trying to find the recipe that works best in most situations. I have come up with the following macros that work pretty well and I posting them here so others can use them. If anyone else has some macros that they use and work reasonably well post them please. If you have some info on what distances you are using them at please post those also. You may have noticed that I don’t use an audible anymore. I was getting tired of spamming myself. It was annoying as heck so I just left them out. I can see when the pet DOT is applied and I can see when the pet DOT goes away so I know when to start punching the macro again.

I am having an issue with distance though. I am finding that when I am using my high-powered long-range carbine that the /tellpet command does not carry as far as I need. I like to be in optimum range so that I can get the + modifier over the targets I attack so I can get the most damage per shot but when I am farther out than twenty-five meters from the action the pets respond as if they do not hear me. Does anyone know the range of the /tellpet command? If I can get some idea of its range I can have an idea of what range I will need to start out at and with what weapon to get my pet DOT to apply so I can switch up to another weapon and move out to optimum range.

Master Attack Macros

Battle Macro One: No pause fast apply of pet DOT.

/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet rng;
/pause 3;
/tellpet flw;
/tellpet rng;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/pause 1;
/tellpet flw;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/pause 2;
/tellpet flw;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;

Battle Macro Two: Brief pause extended engagement.

/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/pause 5;
/tellpet flw;
/pause 1;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/pause 5;
/tellpet flw;
/pause 1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/pause 5;
/tellpet flw;
/pause 1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;

Battle Macro Three: Ranged attack for extended engagement.

/tellpet rng;
/tellpet rng;
/tellpet rng;
/pause 5;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;
/tellpet sp1;
/pause 5;
/tellpet flw;
/pause 2;
/tellpet rng;
/tellpet rng;
/tellpet rng;
/tellpet rng;
/pause 5;
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2
/tellpet sp1;
/tellpet sp2;

flw would probably be follow target. Specials work best when pet is following the target and not attacking it.

sp1 = Special Attack One
sp2 = Special Attack Two
rng = Ranged Attack
flw = Follow me

*Smile* Sorry bout that. I forgot to put a legend.
