Hello there all fellow hunter's
I'm new to this site/forum, so hope i'v put my question in the right place.
I started to play some pvp, still only bg's, and my gear is not that great, but that's not
my biggest problem.
My problem is, when i get stunlocked by a rogue, my pet just stand around looking stupid,
watching he's master getting killed.
1 question:
is there any way to get my pet to attack the rogue, when im sapped/stunlocked ?
2 question
is there a way to make a macro, use trinket/get pet to attack and do the immertidation on target ?
in advance thx.

IF Darwynn doesn't get to this answer soon, feel free to send him a private message. He's been hard at work at many PVP macros and doing a great job.
@Niika… thanks for the vote of confidence… (ahhh! The pressure….!)
I'll begin by suggesting you visit Garwulf's Macro guide https://huntsmanslodge.com/macros/
I'll quote from the very first PVP macro in his guide:
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/petattack
/cast Hunter’s Mark
/startattack
/petassist
My own macro is a little different, but Gar has been playing a lot longer than I have and his macro works.
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/use [combat] Runic Healing Potion
/use [combat] Super Healing Potion
/use [combat] Major Healing Potion
/startattack
/use 13
/petdefensive
/petattack
/castsequence reset=target Serpent Sting, Hunter's Mark
I'll step through it…
/cleartarget
removes your current target. Your more immediate concern is whoever is on your back!
/targetenemyplayer
this makes sure you target a player, and not a pet.
/use [combat] Healing Potion of choice
I have three lines cos I'm not rich. I don't go into bgs demanding heals so I always carry my own medicine, sometimes I can't afford the best. This is to counteract that first blow you've already taken.
/startattack
Hunter's are not good at melee, but if you can't shake your opponent, at least you'll be fighting back
/use 13
Until level 60 you can buy defensive trinkets that absorb a certain amount of damage. I kept mine in slot 13. You can use 14 if you wish. (from Arathi Vendor, from memory)
/petdefensive
I always like my pets on defensive stance. This does that. They will defend against anyone who 1. attacks them, 2 attacks me
/petattack
This tells the pet to attack my current target, which was selected in line 2
/castsequence reset=target Serpent Sting, Hunter's Mark
I choose to use serpent sting before Hunter's mark as it causes damage over time, and therefore will prevent the rogue/feral going stealth again. If playing a SV spec I'd be tempted to drop an ice trap as well to give you Lock and Load should your assailant step on it.
eg: /castsequence reset=target Ice Trap, Serpent Sting, Hunter's Mark
As always, this is what I do, and I hope it helps.
Cheers,
D
Thx Darrwyn
I get you point with the macro.
i belive what i'v been looking for, was to set my pet to defesive stance,
so it will start attack when rogue/druid open on me, ;o)
I will study some of Garwulf's macrobuild, to get more more into the macro mechanics.
Thanks again for the reply
You can actually still command your pet to attack a chosen target while stunned, take note. Especially if your stealth detection kicks in and you can see the guy meandering around in a semi-obscured state after he's already Sapped you. While you're not able to move, your pet can, so take advantage of it.
I currently have Gar's macro on my Tauren and it's proven quite useful in popping a Druid once. 😉
