Beast Mastery Hunter rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Full damage while moving, because nothing in the kit needs you standing still.
Rice Rotations reads your Beast Mastery Hunter from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Beast Mastery Hunter profile plays
Beast Mastery is Barbed Shot bookkeeping. Rice keeps Frenzy on the pet at three stacks without letting it expire, sends Kill Command whenever Focus allows, fills with Cobra Shot to bring Kill Command back, and never lets Focus cap while you are running.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Beast Mastery Hunter settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Bestial Wrath is opened with Frenzy up and Focus banked, Call of the Wild is spent inside that window, and Kill Shot is used the moment the target is in execute range rather than remembered late.
What the Beast Mastery Hunter rotation handles
- Frenzy kept at three stacks, no dropped Barbed Shot
- Focus kept from capping while you move
- Bestial Wrath and Call of the Wild opened together
- Counter Shot on interrupts, Exhilaration and Turtle on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target protects Frenzy uptime above everything. On packs it turns on Multi-Shot for Beast Cleave and keeps that up while cycling Kill Command, which is a lot of extra button pressing to do by hand while moving.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Beast Mastery Hunter questions
- Is this the best spec to start with?
- Beast Mastery is fully mobile, so it is a comfortable first spec: everything the profile presses works while you are moving and dodging mechanics.
- Does it keep Beast Cleave up?
- Yes. On multiple targets the profile maintains the cleave window rather than losing it every time the Kill Command cycle comes round.
