MD macro with Arcane shot/ES/Chimera

[klodd1]

Hello

Considering misdirection does not have a global cooldown nor a normal cooldown if used on pet with glyph, would it be wise to use a macro like this;

#showtooltip Arcane Shot
/cast [target=pet,exists] Misdirection
/cast Arcane Shot
/petattack

So the pet get everybit of aggro, or would it mess up by not firing any arcane shots?

Thanks in advance.

that's where it already fails. md HAS a global cooldown, or is it just a mindgame?
if the latter then yes, it would work like a charm.

Tested it right now, it does NOT have a global cooldown in fact, blizz must have changed it with 5.0

really o.O?

gotta test it asap

#showtooltip
/cast [@pet] misdirection
/petattack
/cast kill command

works like a charm

though with pets having a real taunt now you'd only need it for aoe.

so just replace kill command with multi shot.

works like a charm with all shots. but I guess its gonna be best with Multi-Shot

Going to be giving this one a try today to see how it works out...

#showtooltip Multi-Shot
/cast [@pet,nogroup]Misidrection
/cast Multi-Shot

Am I missing any other mandatory modifiers here?

[Illana]

nope, looks fine to me

I use the following macro for my MD:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [@focus, exists, group, nomod] Misdirection; [@pet, nomod] Misdirection
/focus [mod:shift] pet

Misdirects to Focus(tank) if in Group and misdirects to pet when not in group. Can also make your pet your focus if you need to in a dung

Also you won't be needing pet misdirection for anything other than AoE since pets now have a taunt by default(Growl changed from High-threat ability to Taunt)
