Hunters

Textual configuration interface

This section is a part of the TCI reference.

Regular spells are not mentioned here, you just have to follow the standard names formatting rules.

Pets

Pets can be declared and edited as any character with the pet setting (see Characters#Pets). A couple of notes:

• Supported pets are not listed here, there are many of them though. Their names follow the standard names formatting rules. In doubt, you can check the sc_util.cpp source file and search for util::pet_type_string to get the list of pets.

• The summon_pet setting (scope: character; default: turtle) is used to specify the pet this character should use.

 # Here are some examples
 summon_pet=wind_serpent
 summon_pet=spirit_beast
 summon_pet=crocolisk

• Finally, you can use the summon_pet action to summon the pet you previously specified.

 # Summon your pet.
 actions+=/summon_pet

• Specifying summon_pet=disabled will make the summon_pet action not summon any pet.

Primary pet expressions

Primary (main) hunter pet can be referenced in pet expressions as pet.main instead of using the name set by the summon_pet option. This way action lists work properly with any pet type.

actions+=/barrage,if=pet.main.buff.frenzy.remains>execute_time

Placing a hunter in front of his target

The position setting (scope: character; default: back) can be used to specify whether the character should start in front of the target, or at its back. Acceptable values are front, ranged_front, back, and ranged_back.

 position=front

Focus regen during casting

(New for 6.0) All hunter actions have an additional property, cast_regen. The property returns the amount of focus regenerated during the execution of the action (casting, channel, or GCD). This enables easier conditionals to protect against focus capping. For example, in MM where Aimed Shot can be used to consume focus, an ability might be used unless it would focus cap after casting the ability and aimed_shot.

 actions+=/steady_shot,if=cast_regen+action.aimed_shot.cast_regen<focus.deficit

Estimating "real" cooldown durations

Several hunter spells and abilities have mechanics that can reduce their base cooldown durations significantly by the time they are ready again. Two custom expressions exist to give values closer to what the final cooldown durations are after accounting for reductions: duration_guess and remains_guess, each replacing the generic cooldown expressions duration and remains respectively.

 actions+=/trueshot,if=cooldown.trueshot.duration_guess+buff.trueshot.duration>target.time_to_die
 actions+=/bestial_wrath,if=cooldown.aspect_of_the_wild.remains_guess>5

Bloodseeker remaining duration

Kill Command for Survival hunters has an additional expression to return the remaining duration of the Bloodseeker damage over time effect on the current target: bloodseeker.remains.

actions+=/kill_command,target_if=min:bloodseeker.remains

Wildfire Infusion

The next (currently "active") Wildfire Infusion bomb type can be checked with a next_wi_bomb.[shrapnel|pheromone|volatile] expression. If the talent is not active the expression always return false.

action+=/wildfire_bomb,if=next_wi_bomb.shrapnel&dot.serpent_sting.remains>5*gcd

Tar Trap

The module supports casting Tar Trap and implements 2 related expressions:

• tar_trap.remains - returns the remaining duration on the Tar Trap slowing effect
• tar_trap.up - returns true if the Tar Trap slowing effect is active (basically a shortcut to tar_trap.remains>0)

Reports

All entries for hunters are fairly obvious and therefore not documented.
