Any macro labelled (2.0, Pre-Level 52 Only) will only work when not using the level 52 Bard ability The Wanderer's Minuet.

USAGE (2.0, Pre-Level 52 Only)

  1. At the start of a fight use STRAIGHT SHOT to get your crit buff.
  2. Now apply your WIND BITE and VENOMOUS BITE
  3. Spam HEAVY SHOT macro.
  4. Watch for STRAIGHT SHOT Proc (glowing border will appear for straight shot, that means it will be a 100% crit hit)
  5. Apply dots when they fall off (be sure to have your straight shot buff on before doing so.
  6. REPEAT

Also ... for some fights where you may have to coordinate with another BRD or silencer/Stun its a good idea to have a Blunt Arrow/Silence macro to announce in Party Chat. Here's mine, but you can adjust the text to match your style.

Blunt Arrow

  • /macroicon "Blunt Arrow"
  • /ac "Blunt Arrow" <t>
  • /p Blunt Arrow <t> Just used it.<se.5>


Macro's from me and Icy

Flaming Arrow

  • /micon "Flaming Arrow"
  • /ac "Flaming Arrow" <t>


This places your Flaming Arrow directly under your target, increasing speed and accuracy of using Flaming Arrow.
