Mage Macros

[Nitrak]

Im looking for PVE Specific Fireball/Pyroblast/Living Bomb macros for 4.3, anybody have any? Not having any luck.

Depends what you are looking for. There is no "one button wonder" macro.

If you only want to use one button you can do something like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Pyroblast; [mod:ctrl] Living Bomb; Fireball

This should spam fireball if you keep spamming it, Pyroblast if the modifier shift is down, and Living Bomb if the modifier ctrl is down.

But imo this is overkill, i would rather use the following binds as i use atm while playing fire:

1: Fireball
2: Scorch
3: Pyroblast
4: Fire Blast
q: Flamestrike
ctrl-q: Blast Wave
e: Living Bomb
shift-e: Combustion

I hope it helped somewhat .

Hi,
i'm looking for a macro that allowes me to cast scorch when i'm in movement while prioritizing fireball if i'm standing still,is that possible to create?
Actually i'm using a modifier macro for fireball/scorch so that's not this big deal,but i'd like to have a different macro for that.

As of i am aware, no such modifier as [moving] is embedded in world of warcraft, so you are left with your own fingers!

I believe that if you order a macro as:

/cast Fireball
/cast Scorch

then it will try to cast Fireball (standing still), then default to Scorch when Fireball cannot be cast (moving).

If they both activate the gcd, you can't put them in the same macro. Nothing will cast if you do.

Yeah i tried that macro but it didn't work.

Not what you're looking for exactly, but you can try these.

If you click some spells (button 2 is the right click on the mouse)

 /cast [button:2] scorch; fireball

Or if you a keybinder

 /cast [mod:ctrl] scorch; fireball

It's the macro i'm using at the moment

[Doctor Deanster]

if my request can be made into a macro then I'm looking for a macro usable in pvp that can spam scorch but when the instant cast pyroblast or impact procs it would instead cast either one of the available procs instead of scorch and then reset back to scorch spamming until one of those procs again.

It's not possible. There's no modifier that will watch for Pyroblast! procs or any procs.

I think you need to improve some of the macro, here ill place some

Will use counterspell/polymorp/spell steal in yourcurent target, pressing a modifier will use counterspell/polymorp/spelsteal at your focus (Make 3 similar macro, one is poly other is counterspell, and spell steal) The one you posted automaticaly will use it on your focus and got no choice but to let it happen. This one I have gives you controll over it. You decide when it wil be on focus and when it will be not.

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [modifier, target=focus] Counterspell or to make it shorter [modifier, @focus]
/cast [nomod] Counterspell

Heres another multiple skill in one button
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast [mod:shift] Polymorp
/cast [mod:ctrl] Spell Steal
/cast [mod:alt] Counterspell
/cast [nomod] blink (or something you comonly use)


Heres a Improved Version of the Frost mage pet, It will summon pet if there isnt one, it will use pet freeze when when pet is already summoned, it will use nova by pressing shift+macro, it will use cone by pressing ctrl+macro. You can add "[mod:alt]+skill" in it but you wont have space to type in the tooltip. It will work but pressing alt+macro will not show the tool tip. If ever your gana fit in another spell on the ALT key then i recomend Deep Freeze. You can rearange the skills depending on whats more comfortable.

#showtooltip [nopet] Summon Water Elemental;[nomod] Freeze;[mod:shift] Frost Nova;[mod:ctrl] Cone of Cold
/cast [nopet][target=pet, dead] Summon Water Elemental; Freeze
/cast [mod:shift] Frost Nova
/cast [mod:ctrl] Cone of Cold

Wrong,

#showtooltip
/cast Fireball
/cast Pyroblast!

For some reason this macro works. It will cast fireball and then cast pryoblast when pyroblast procs. It works most of the time. In theory this macro should not work. But because of latency or the way spells stack it does (this would be my only guess). Try it out if you don't believe it but don't just shoot it down I've tried and tested and can confirm it works.

One of my favourite macros:

/cleartarget [target=target,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [target=focus,noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

Makes your focus and target switch places.

The only reason that would work is if Pyroblast! is off the gcd. Now you know the reason if it should work. You can put as many abilities that does not activate the gcd and one ability that will into one macro.

Personally I wouldn't use it because, like you said, it's inconsistant. It's easier to watch for the proc through the default ui or poweraura and manually fire the pryo. A studdering macro is a dps loss.

It works most of the time.

That is just not good enough. Just tested it myself, and ye SOMETIMES it works, but MOST of the times it doesnt.

I've tested this a lot and it works most of the time. I'd say 90% and haven't had it fail when spamming the key. I see no downside to the macro as a back up as it will grab all those last second proc's for you.

Try mashing the button it wont miss a single one. Just pretend you're playing arcane again.

[Endeavor]

One of my favourite macros:

/cleartarget [target=target,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [target=focus,noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

Makes your focus and target switch places.

Oh does it now? I thank you very much sir. It always annoyed me I had to mouseover my target to focus etc (yea, I use mouseover to focus).

[vaajtswv]

One of my favourite macros:

/cleartarget [target=target,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [target=focus,noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

Makes your focus and target switch places.

Same macro. It just uses less characters.

/cleartarget [@target,dead]
/clearfocus [@focus,dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [@focus,noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget
