Essential macros

Today I am sharing a few macros that are essential to those of you who spend some time in looking for dungeon with pug groups.  

The first is essential for all DPS characters.  Map this macro to your F key (which is by default mapped to assist)  As soon as you zone into the dungeon look for the character with the shield icon on them indicating they queued as the tank and set them as your focus.  Then each time they pull a mob you can ensure that you are on their target by hitting F and starting your rotation.  

Assist Macro:
/focus [modifier:alt] target
/stopmacro [modifier:alt]
/tar [target=focus,harm] focus
/assist [target=focus,help] focus; [target=pet, exists] playerpet

While it is almost the end of Dragon Soul’s relevance, there will be future raids where you need to click a button to use an ability provided in the raid environment.  The mechanic proved to be too effective at killing raiders to not have it repeated.  Map this to someplace you can reach it quickly.  I have mine on ~.

Clicky - Ultraxion Button Mash:
/click ExtraActionButton1

Since I have a fair number of alts that I play with, I like my bars to be set up as similarly as possible.  To make sure my on use trinkets are always mapped to my bars I use the following two macros arranged just like they are on the character sheet.  

Trinket 1:
#showtooltip
#show 13
/use 13

Trinket 2:
#showtooltip
#show 14
/use 14

Even more so with Area of Effect looting; at the end of every dungeon run you always end up with lots of useless dross you need to get rid of.  This macro helps you get rid of all the grey items in your bag.  There are addons that will also do this, but I rather not use the system memory for that.

Vendor Grey items:
/script for bag = 0,4,1 do for slot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bag), 1 do local name = GetContainerItemLink(bag,slot); if name and string.find(name,"ff9d9d9d") then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Selling "..name); UseContainerItem(bag,slot) end; end; end

Here are a few hunter specific macros.  The first is a misdirect macro which paired with the assist macro above allows you to help make a inexperienced tank more effective at collecting up trash packs.  

Misdirect Macro:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection

With all the recent quality of life changes to hunter pet stances, this is not as necessary as it was before.  

Hunters Mark ftw:
/cast Hunter's Mark
/petattack
/cast Dash
/cast Charge
/cast Taunt
