Marksmanship Hunter rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Aimed Shot into Trick Shots, and funnel weeks stop being fiddly.
Rice Rotations reads your Marksmanship 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 Marksmanship Hunter profile plays
Marksmanship is about not wasting Precise Shots and not clipping Aimed Shot. Rice spends Precise Shots on Arcane Shot before another Aimed Shot overwrites it, keeps Aimed Shot casting when you are standing still, and switches to instants the moment you move.
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 Marksmanship 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
Trueshot is opened with charges and a target that will live, Rapid Fire is worked into the priority rather than pressed on sight, and Kill Shot fires as soon as the target drops into range.
What the Marksmanship Hunter rotation handles
- Precise Shots consumed before they are overwritten
- Aimed Shot cast windows respected, instants used while moving
- Trick Shots kept up on packs
- Counter Shot on interrupts, Turtle and Exhilaration on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target protects the Aimed Shot cadence. On packs it moves to Trick Shots with Multi-Shot and Volley coverage, which means keeping a second buff alive on top of the normal priority, and that is exactly the part hands drop first.
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.
Marksmanship Hunter questions
- Does casting while moving break the rotation?
- No. The profile drops to the instant part of the priority while you are moving and returns to Aimed Shot when you stop.
- Does it manage Trick Shots on packs?
- Yes, the cleave buff is treated as maintenance so it stays up through the pull instead of being reapplied late.
