Is the autoshot macro fixed yet?

http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2010/11/cast-auto-shot-bug/

"Zeherah has uncovered a bug with the “Cast !Auto Shot” macro command, and asked me to spread the word. If you’re using this commend in your macros, you should probably take it out until we can verify that the bug has been fixed.

This command is supposed to start your auto-shot if auto-shot is not already active.

Currently if you are using this command, it is actually slowing your rate of auto-shot fire by about 0.1 seconds per shot in observed tests. That means for every ten shots fired, you’re effectively losing an auto-shot, or 10% of you auto-shot dps.

We don’t yet know exactly what this command is doing to slow the auto-attack, and we have not had any testing to see if this problem also exists with melee attacks (while I don’t care about melee attacks, if the problem exists for all those other classes it’ll probably be a higher priority to get it fixed). This bug exists both on live and on the beta.

For the time being just remove this line from your macros to get your correct auto-shot attack times."

Also what is the proper way to set it up with...lets say cobra shot?
help! <3
:(
I haven't tested to see if they fixed it, but you can just use /startattack in your macros instead for now- my tests before showed it wasn't having the same problem.

You would just put /startattack in your macro before your /cast shotname and that'd cause your autoshot to start firing if it wasn't active when you used it.

Thanks so much! You are the best.

I noticed how much dps I was looking on quick target switching fights when cobra was my next shot. A whole cast of no auto attack stinks!
Does anyone know how to write the whole macro with this and the show tool-tip thing.

I have

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast cobrashot

Is this right?
