Marksmanship Hunter: Rotation

Client build 1.60.1.70425 · updated 2026-10-16

The Marksmanship priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.

Single target (level 30, petless)

Hunter's Mark before the pull.
Aspect of the Hawk always in combat.
Serpent Sting first, and kept up.
Aimed Shot on cooldown.
Arcane Shot on cooldown if mana allows: it has its own cooldown now.
Auto Shot the rest of the time.
Sniper Shot from 40, on cooldown; its 4-second cast is long, so line it up when nothing is moving. Unconfirmed

Rapid Fire 40% attack speed for 15 seconds; Rapid Killing cuts the cooldown to 3 minutes.
Scatter Shot a 4-second disorient: stop a runner or buy time for a trap.
Freezing Trap your crowd control in dungeons, usable mid-fight.
Feign Death drop threat when you out-damage the tank's hold.
Tranquilizing Shot from 60, on enraged bosses.

Macros are untested in the Forever client unless a label says otherwise.
