Marksmanship Hunter DPS Mythic+ Guide — Midnight Season 1

Counter Shot is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Counter Shot

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly, so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown, or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Intimidation is your second-most important utility and is your single-target "stop" for negating casts that cannot be normally interrupted. We recommend using this in the same way as your Counter Shot, with the same macro (with Intimidation swapped in for Counter Shot, of course).

Binding Shot can be used to save your tank in hectic moments by helping them kite mobs and generate some range.

Freezing Trap can be used as an additional stop alongside Intimidation, but it has a slow travel time and you will need to be close to land it before most stunnable casts are finished.

Feign Death can not only be used to drop aggro, but also negate certain casts and channels on you. In some cases, these mechanics will simply re-target someone else in the group, but occasionally the mechanic will be entirely negated with huge benefits. If you notice a cast or effect on you, try to Feign Death it! It will also remove all Poisons and Diseases on you.

Tranquilizing Shot can negate beneficial Enrage and Magic effects from enemy targets, and with the Disruptive Rounds Talent, we do not lose meaningful damage from doing so. If the Dungeon is especially heavy on these dispels, you may choose to change our default Talents into grabbing either Kodo Tranquilizer or Devilsaur Tranquilizer.

Tar Trap can be used to aid your tank in kiting by slowing mobs. It is good to reflexively throw down a Tar Trap if your Tank dies, as it gives everyone else a better chance at kiting and surviving.

Use AoE Crowd Control tools like Intimidation on dense clusters of Orbs to take out as many as possible. You can use Freezing Trap for remaining, singular ones.

Nothing specific to say here — use your solid target-swapping capabilities to focus the Void Emissary down as quickly as possible.

Pop Aspect of the Cheetah and dash around with your excellent mobility to grab as many orbs as quickly as possible.

Feign Death's Poison/Disease dispel (via Emergency Salve) is a source of dispel type for removing Void Rift. You can also Exhilaration to heal it off, but that costs a GCD.
