Frost Mage PvP UI

[Pixar]

Hello boys/girls,

I've got a small question to ask...it could be that i'm in the wrong section of the forum to ask but i'll go ahead to my fellow mage-partners...My entire mage-carrier has been pve...last couple of months i've been trying the dark frost side of the mage powers...But....they have so many things and buttons and triggers and.....that i rly would like to hear/see your UI, positions, keybindings, ....wich i'm not aware of atm...
Im sure it wouldn't be bad for others aswell as we all can learn from eachother...

This is my fail ui atm...lol @ that



Thx in advance!

if you're in arenas, addon Gladius is recommended.
moar addons for pvp in general: i'd get unit frame, action bar, cast bar, and buff-debuff/scrolling battle text addons too.
They'll clear up your screen so you can see more and what you see will be only the info you need to know.

Ye, i use gladius but it's switched off atm...how about my positions of buttons...i know they are not the best atm, maybe a hint? ... thx

<Large post here.>

Here is my current UI:

http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/t...910_175512.jpg

Addons are:

Bartender
AG_Unitframes
Satrina Buff frames.
Sexymap
Water Elemental Timer (I think that's it, I forget the name)
Quartz
Power Auras
Chatter
Shield Monitor
Miks Scrolling Battle Text
Button Facade (Diablo 3 small)

Not shown:
Cooldown
Doom Cooldown Pulse
Interrupt bars
Gladius

(The ones I have bolded I find essential to make a good pvp UI, others are just to make my screen look nicer ;D)

As you can see, you don't see all of my spells. I use bartender to bind all of them, and the ones that have no CDs (Mount, frostbolt, fireball) I have hidden, to free up a lot of space on screen.

The ones that are shown are all of my CDs, nice and lined up so I can watch them all coming off CD.

I have W as forward, A/D as strafe. You do not need to backpedal in pvp, so I unbound S as backpedal.

Binds:

`- Mage armor
1- Counterspell
2- Frostbolt
3-Sheep (focus macro'd)
4- Spellsteal
q-Frost nova
e-Ice barrier
r- Water elemental (Summon+freeze macro)
s-Ice lance
f-Fireblast
z-Iceblock
x-Arcane explosion
c-Cone of cold
wheelclick- blink.

SHIFT:
`-Ice armor
1-Mirror image
2- Rank 1 frostbolt
3- Sheep focus target
4- Invisibility
q- n/a (its glichy when I strafe for some reason)
e-Mana shield
r- respond to tell
s- icy viens
f-fireball
z- slowfall
x- n/a
c- deep freeze.
wheelclick- pvp trinket
Wheel up- fire ward
wheel down- frost ward.

CTRL:
1- mana gem
2-cold snap
3- clear focus
4- evocation
q-n/a
e- n/a
r-Arcane missles
s- blizzard
f- FFB
z-decurse
x-n/a
c- I know its something but for the life of me I can't remember.
wheel click- WotF

Macros:
Basic ones:
/stopcasting
/cast Blink

/stopcasting
/cast Counterspell

These two just let me react faster, if I need to quick stop casting frostbolt to move/cs

/stop casting
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Ice Block

Again, stop casting, first hit puts me in ice block, second takes me out of it. It shouldn't be spammed.

Now my polymorphs..

/cast [button:2, target=focus] &#91;] Polymorph
/focus [nobutton:2]

Sets my target as my focus and sheeps them.

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus, nodead, harm] Polymorph(Rank 4)

Sheeps focus target.

Last but not least:

/cast [nopet] Summon Water Elemental; Freeze

First hit summons water elemental, second puts up freeze ring for ranged nova.


Feel free to ask me any questions you have.
