Press Start, then cast the top available priority ability…

Cast the first available ability in the priority. Procs and cooldowns change the right answer every GCD — that's the muscle memory the trainer builds.

Cast priority

  1. 1Hunter's Mark — Open with the AP debuff, refresh when it drops
  2. 2Serpent Sting — Keep the DoT up, refresh in its last third
  3. 3Kill Command — On cooldown after crit procs — pet damage core
  4. 4Bestial Wrath — Pet burst on cooldown, sync with trinkets
  5. 5Steady Shot — Weave between auto shots — the cast-clip timing is the skill
  6. 6Arcane Shot — Filler when Steady Shot would clip an auto

One-button macro

# Beast Mastery Hunter — priority (WoW Forever)
# Weave Steady Shot between auto shots; never clip.

The priority list behind the trainer, top-down every GCD:

  1. Hunter's Mark — Open with the AP debuff, refresh when it drops
  2. Serpent Sting — Keep the DoT up, refresh in its last third
  3. Kill Command — On cooldown after crit procs — pet damage core
  4. Bestial Wrath — Pet burst on cooldown, sync with trinkets
  5. Steady Shot — Weave between auto shots — the cast-clip timing is the skill
  6. Arcane Shot — Filler when Steady Shot would clip an auto

Rotation notes that actually move the meter

  • Steady Shot weaving: cast it in the auto-shot gap; clipping autos is the #1 BM DPS leak.
  • Kill Command procs from pet crits — Ferocity/Frenzy talent points feed the loop.
  • Bestial Wrath + The Beast Within sync with trinkets for the burst window.
  • Exotic pets (devilsaur etc.) are exclusive to the 51-point build — a real damage edge.
