12buttons Frost Mage PvP binding

[Ninjin]

I have been looking around, trying to find the binding and macros those top PvP frost mages use.
I have noticed they only got about 10-15buttons on there action bars.
I was wondering if any1 of you out there know how Im I should bind all my keys to those bars.
I only know 2 of the macros so far, it´s the elemental macro, and the IB macro

would be rly gr8 if any1 would tell me how they do it

You can go to arena junkies dot com and then you could go to macros->mages and theres a lot of useful macros there.

They dont only use the buttons you see. Usually, they leave the buttons with cd's on display while things like ice lance, frostbolt, fireball, arcane explosion, polymorph, etc. are all hidden. You can bind keys and then hide the bar and them still be usuable. I assume you did not know that....so just becauase he only shows 12 buttons, does not mean he is only using 12 spells. Get it?

Simply put a hotkey on the bar and then hide it. It will still work.

The only thing about doing this is to ensure you know off by heart what your hotkeys are.

Don't tell me you need to check your icons to remember the hotkeys =_=

There is a tab with Fade Out options for each bar. It's pretty self explanatory.

And try using the latest version of Bartender. 4. Not 3.

Some people play more than one character/class/specc.

^ This. I have 4 action bars filled with buttons, some emptier than others (depending on class), and am using 22 key bindings altogether I'm not hiding any bars, they are just lining the border of my screen and I use them as CD reference, I don't like any CD bars or whatnot.

Relevance? I play as 3 characters, priest, shaman and mage, and I know my keybinds on all my characters, and they've all got over 36 keybinds each.

Can some one please explain me why I cant combine the macros
Blink and frost nova
and why I cant macro my freez of my pet!?

You cannot have 2 spells which trigger a global cooldown in 1 macro.

/cast Freeze should work as a pet macro.

[klaps_05]

Because clearly those are the only spells mages use. GG.

Nope, they stop at 1 - Ice Lance - why bother casting something else lol, IL 50k kktnxbai.

@OP - in most cases, the buttons you see are macrod with modifiers and not hidden button - for example: you can make 1 bind with 3 modifier for sheep:

button 1 macro =
no modifier - target
alt - focus
shift - mouseover
ctrl - arena123

or you can just pick a bind and put it as shift-1. if you want to excel right now as a mage you will also need arena123 macros for stuff like df/impact/cs/poly/etc. AJ provides you with the basics of macros, you can take it up a notch once you get used to them.
