Uber Pet Macro
This macro got its name because it gives almost complete control over your pet in a single button while also taking advantage of the focus targeting system. In order to use it you must have the spells Call Pet & Revive Pet, or simply, a Hunter's Pet. You will need to edit the macro to specify which Call Pet to use. By default it uses Call Pet 1

How the Macro works... If your pet is dead: You will cast Revive Pet. If your pet is not summoned: You will cast Call Pet 1. If your pet is not summoned but is dead you can hold shift to cast Revive Pet. If you do not have a focus: You will focus on your target and your pet will be sent to attack it. If you have a focus: You will clear focus and your pet will be recalled to follow you.

In less technical terms... If your pet is missing, dead, or you are holding down shift: Your pet will be summoned or revived. If your pet is not attacking: Your pet will attack your target. If your pet is attacking: Your pet will stop attacking and return to your side. Hunter's Mark will be cast on the target

One Button Call Pet
If you right click with no modifier, summon pet in stable slot 2. If you hold shift, call pet in stable slot 3. If you hold ctrl, call pet in stable slot 4. If you hold alt, call pet in stable slot 5. Otherwise, call pet in stable slot 1.

/cast [button:2]Call Pet 2; [mod:shift]Call Pet 3; [mod:ctrl]Call Pet 4; [mod:alt]Call Pet 5; Call Pet 1

Revive Pet -> Call Pet (-> Mend Pet)
This will revive your pet if it's dead, call your pet if you don't have him out, or mend your pet.

/cast [mod]Revive Pet; [@pet,dead]Revive Pet; [nopet]Call Pet 1; Mend Pet

If your dead pet is out of range (i.e. cannot be found by the target command), you can hold down any modifier to force Revive Pet.

Alternatively, the following macro does the same as above but without Mend Pet.

/cast [nopet]Call Pet 1; [mod][]Revive Pet

Full One button Pet Treatment
This macro will revive your pet if it's dead or you hold down shift, call it if it's dismissed, mend it if it's alive, feed it if you press alt at the same time and dismiss it if you right click the button. /cast [nopet] Call Pet /cast [@pet,dead][mod:shift] Revive Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:1] Mend Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:2] Dismiss Pet /cast [pet,mod:alt] Feed Pet /use [pet,mod:alt]
 * 1) show [modifier:alt] Mutton Chop

An alternative to this is below. Left clicking while holding SHIFT or ALT will cast Revive Pet, or left clicking without holding anything will cast Mend Pet if the pet is out and at your side. If you right click, you will cast Call Pet if he's alive but not out, Feed Pet if he's by your side, and if you hold SHIFT or ALT, it will cast Dismiss Pet. Be sure to change the type of food at the bottom of the macro to the name of the food you feed your pet.

/cast [button:1,modifier] Revive Pet /cast [button:1,@pet,exists] Mend Pet /cast [button:2,@pet,noexists] Call Pet /cast [button:2,pet,nocombat] Feed Pet /cast [button:2,modifier] Dismiss Pet /use [button:2,pet,nocombat]

No Combat Feed / Combat Mend
This macro will cast Mend Pet when in combat and Feed Pet when out of combat.

Feed by food name.

/cast [nocombat] Feed Pet; [combat] Mend Pet /use [nocombat]

-OR-

Feed by bag slot: bag #1 slot #13.

/cast [combat] Mend Pet; [nocombat] Feed Pet /use [nocombat] 1 13

-OR-

Feed a certain food item depending on the type of pet.

/cast [pet, nocombat] Feed Pet /use [pet:Cat/Ravager, nocombat] ; [pet:Wind Serpent, nocombat]

-OR-

Hold down alt to cast Mend Pet out of combat, and shows the amount of food you have in your bags.

/cast [modifier:alt][combat] Mend Pet; [pet, nocombat] Feed Pet /use [pet, nocombat, nomodifier:alt]

Pet Attack / Follow toggle
Get your pet out of that boss' AOE faster by putting Pet Attack and Pet Follow on the same button. Here's a way to toggle them by holding any modifier key:

/petattack [pet,nomodifier] /petfollow [pet,modifier]

Or here's a way to make the toggle automatic -- if your pet is attacking, it'll call him back; otherwise he'll go to attack your target.

/petfollow [@pettarget,exists] /petattack [@pettarget,noexists]

A downside to the latter is that you may have to retrain your fingers a bit if you're accustomed to using your Pet Attack key to make your pet switch targets.

Quick Mark & Pull
This macro will mark your target, start Auto Shot and send in your pet, all at once.

/cast Hunter's Mark /cast Auto Shot /petattack
 * 1) showtooltip

Misdirection
At the start of an instance or raid, set your focus target to the Main Tank, then use this macro just before pulling to cast Misdirection on him/her without losing your target.

/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection
 * 1) showtooltip

This will misdirect to your focus target, if that is friendly. If not, it will cast on a friendly selected target instead. If that doesn't exist either, it will misdirect on your pet. That way, the macro works as intended in any situation, without the need of pressing qualifier keys or choosing between different buttons.

Alternatively, you can create a macro designed to cast Misdirection on a friendly player by name. Simply replace "Tank" with the name of the player you'd like to misdirect.

/cast [@"Tank"] Misdirection
 * 1) showtooltip

Another useful macro combination for one-button misdirecting. If you select a friendly target, it will make them the focus, otherwise it will cast misdirection on whatever the focus was. If you haven't got a focus set, it will misdirect to your pet instead. Usage:
 * 1) Select tank and click macro button.  This will set your tank as focus target.  You only have to do this once, until you want to change the focus to a different player.
 * 2) Select the mob that you want to pull (and misdirect).
 * 3) Shoot away!

/focus [help] /stopmacro [help] /cast [@focus,exists] Misdirection;[@pet,exists] Misdirection
 * 1) showtooltip

A variation on this wonderful macro is

/focus [help] /script SendChatMessage ("You are now my FOCUS target","WHISPER",nil,UnitName("target")) /stopmacro [help] /y Misdirecting on %f /cast [@focus,exists] Misdirection
 * 1) showtooltip

This will whisper your tank every time you change focus targets; feel free to change the message to something witty. This also includes a yell that will announce your misdirection on your focus target.

Yet another useful Misdirection macro application geared towards raiders.

If you have a focus target and your focus target is friendly, cast Misdirection on your focus target. If you have a focus target that is not friendly and your focus has a target and that target is friendly, cast Misdirection on your focus' target. (It will fail here if the focus' target is you.) If you have a target and your target is friendly, cast Misdirection on your target. If you have a target that is not friendly and your target has a target, cast Misdirection on your target's target. Else, if your pet is alive and exists, cast Misdirection on your pet.

/cast [@focus,help][@focustarget,help][@target,help][@targettarget,help][@pet,nodead,exists] Misdirection
 * 1) showtooltip Misdirection

Hunter's Mark
This macro will set a friendly target as your focus, assist your focus if you have one, and cast hunter's mark on an enemy target.

/assist [@focus, exists] /cast [harm] Hunter's Mark; /focus [help]
 * 1) showtooltip Hunter's Mark

Aspect of the Cheetah / Pack by mouse click
Left-click to cast Aspect of the Cheetah; right-click to cast Aspect of the Pack

/cast [button:2] Aspect of the Pack; Aspect of the Cheetah

Raptor Strike + Wing Clip
This is a very simple macro that queues a Raptor Strike for the next normal melee swing and uses Wing Clip. The stopcasting is used to cancel the Raptor Strike effect if the Wing Clip isn't done. If your Raptor Strike is on cooldown, Wing Clip can be used alone. Although this macro contains two skills, it works because one attacks instantly and the other attacks on the next melee swing.

/cast Raptor Strike /cast Wing Clip /stopcasting

Clever Trapping
Cut down on the number of buttons you have dedicated to traps. The stopcasting & stopattack will help keep you from breaking your own traps. You can also use Immolation/Explosive. Use the icon.

/stopcasting /stopattack /cast [modifier:alt] Frost Trap; Freezing Trap
 * 1) showtooltip [modifier:alt] Frost Trap; Freezing Trap

Beast Mastery "I-Win button"
This macro requires a Beast Mastery specialization with the Bestial Wrath talent learned. It can also use any items with On-Use effects, such as potions, trinkets, and items with specific enchants, such as Hand-Mounted Pyro Rockets.

/use Potion of Speed /cast Bestial Wrath /cast Intimidation /petattack
 * 1) showtooltip Bestial Wrath
