[Hunter] Masked Viper Sting with R1 Hunter's Mark Macro

[Ranghala]

After a night of bad DCs and server crashes, my 5s teammates and I decided to just hang around TB and duel each other for kicks. While dueling my team's Paladin, I came up with this idea for a nifty little macro to mask Viper Sting with R1 Hunter's Mark. It basically goes like this:

#showtooltip Viper Sting
/castsequence Viper Sting, Hunter's Mark(Rank 1)

Since both VS and HM trigger the GDC, you can't use /stopcasting to turn it into a single-press macro. The advantage to this is that while VS is on it's 15 sec. CD, you can toss R1 HMs on different targets to throw off healers. Works like a charm in 5s. :D

Anyways, there you have it. Nothing fancy or cutting edge, just a helpful little tool to make a Hunter's life easier.

Please feel free to comment/leave feedback!

I've always been under the impression that Hunter's Mark didn't mask viper sting? Anyone care to clarify:o

It does for Pally cleanse, but not for Druid Remove Poison. =(

Also, after further testing I discovered that even when VS is on CD, the macro locks up and won't let you cast R1 HM because of the /castsequence. Anyone got any clues as to how to fix this?

Uh, you know cleanse removes a magic AND a poison, not just one of the two, right? The hunter's mark will get removed automatically while attempting to remove the poison.

Basically, you'll be wasting mana and a GCD for nothing, because the only thing that can mask a poison is another poison, which is why you use a scorpid.

Cleanse removes 1 poison, 1 magic, 1 disease per GCD. Hunters mark does not mask a viper, only other poisons do (or silencing shot).

EDIT: Hunters mark will mask a freezing trap though, so marking someone in a trap will bring a chance that it takes more than one GCD to cleanse it.
