Very basic headshot macro

[Derp]

I'm fairly new here, so if I missed a macro that already does that let me know. With the new expansion coming out I wanted a macro that would root and shoot. It's nothing amazing, but it lets me pull a mob and then AFK while it kills for me. It's not a way to automatically level to 105--but it's nice to know you can get a little experience with minimal effort. Feel free to offer suggestions, but offer them in code-snippet form.

I've set this macro to:

• Flusterbolt/Blusterbolt when the mob is too close to me. (Then /face the mob)
• Re-root when the mob is 10s from root breaking.
• Cast my forecasted shots and my focused rain of arrows.
• Use my AA root as a backup if Vinelash isn't ready yet.
• Dispel several buffs from my target

My "trigger" that tells the macro to take over is the Entrap spell. It lets me keep the macro running when I pull without the macro rooting or shooting things (since I hit entrap as they get to the spot I want them at). You also have to turn autofire on--again I didn't want to feel like the macro was controlling everything.

|Diba
|To use:
|Turn on macro -> Pull 1 mob -> Cast Entrap on the mob
|Once the macro sees Entrap on your target it will try to keep the mob rooted, away from you, and debuffed. 
|Keep in mind you'll still need to turn autofire on.

most mobs summon or worse bring adds, what places have you found to do this mac at? I have a 95 ranger that would love to use this.....

Right now I've been killing the Shissar mobs in the new Katta zone with no problems. Ran the macro for 4 hours this morning before posting it and the only problem happened when someone decided to dispel my root/snare. I had some audio triggers set and that alerted me that my spells were all wearing off really quickly so I popped back in to yell at the guy. At level 95 you should consider zones like Field of Scale. You'll have to single pull mobs for yourself, but that's not too terribly hard. I'll look into letting the macro iterate through XTarget to handle adds automatically--but I don't normally pull adds.

thanks man, been looking for a reason to bring my 95 Ranger out to play and this sounds like a good test....
