Mage Macros

[Goliethlol]

Here are a bunch of useful PVP Macros for frost:

Multi Target Deep Freeze:
#showtooltip Deep Freeze
/cast [nomod:alt,target=mouseover,exists] Deep Freeze
/cast [nomod:alt,target=target] Deep Freeze
/cast [mod:alt,target=focus] Deep Freeze
***(First attempts to DF your mouseover if it exists, otherwise DFs your target. Holding alt while using this macro will DF your focus)

Frostbolt with Pet attack:
#showtooltip
/cast Frostbolt
/stopmacro [target=pettarget, exists]
/cast Waterbolt
***(Will cause your pet to attack your current target whenever you attempt to Frostbolt. Useful for making swaps when your ele is out)

Icelance with Mouseover and Cancelaura
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cancelaura Invisibility
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Ice Lance
/cast [target=target] Ice Lance
***(Priority on mouseover if exists, otherwise casts icelance on your target. Using this macro will cancel Ice Block and Invis if they are active [this is useful as it removes the fear of removing either spell prematurely by spamming they key if the cancel aura is bound with the spellcast])

Multitarget Poly
#showtooltip
/petpassive
/cast [nomod:alt,target=mouseover,exists] Polymorph
/cast [nomod:alt,target=target] Polymorph
/cast [mod:alt,target=focus] Polymorph
***(Same function as Deep Freeze macro)

Arena Target Poly
#showtooltip
/petpassive
/cast [target=arena1] Polymorph
***(Casts poly on the first target on your enemy arena frames)
*****(Replace "arena1" with "arenaX" (where X = 1 to 5 for other targets)

these are all very useful PvP macros. i suggest any mage who wants to start PvP copy these and become familiar with them, they can increase your throughput in arenas and BGs.

[Koltak]

I am using this.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] Mirror Image
/cast [mod:alt] Arcane Power
/cast [mod:alt] Icy Veins
/use [mod:alt] 13
/cast [nomod] Arcane Blast

What I want to do is add a yell or emote on the Alt click but no matter what I try it wont work.

Anyone know how to make that work?

It would be something like this:

/cast [nomod:alt] Arcane Blast
/stopmacro [nomod:alt]
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Icy Veins
/use 13
/use 14
/y <your text here>

But I don't think, that you should use an emote/text, since it may annoy some people, hearing it at least twice every 3 minutes.

Got question, take a look at these two macros (assuming I'm iceblocked):

/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Blink

/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Arcane Barrage

First one works nicely, second one doesn't. Now question is, how to check which spells would work in this way and which wouldn't ? I'm rather not planning on checking every single spell from spellbook, waiting 4 minutes everytime for iceblock cd to wen off.

[Swizzle]

/cancel aura+ice lance maros have worked for ages, so it's all about actually targeting something when you're ice blocked.

[Deleted]

Didn't try with ice lance, but with few other spells (instant and casted) - tried on target dummies and didn't work

[Swizzle]

could possibly be because of the CD on arcane barrage, but i'm not sure. haven't heard of that problem and i don't have an arcane offspec to try it out myself.

[takolin]

/cast [nomod:alt] Arcane Blast
/stopmacro [nomod:alt]
/cast Mirror Image
/cast Arcane Power
/cast Icy Veins
/use 13
/use 14
/y <your text here>

But I don't think, that you should use an emote/text, since it may annoy some people, hearing it at least twice every 3 minutes.

First of all, you can't use 2 on-use trinkets at the same time as they'll invoke a small (10 seconds iirc) on each other so for maximum fwhoosh, it won't work.


Second of all, don't macro MI with other spells as you'll waste a GCD of CD time on casting MI. Cast MI first and then use the macro.

I wouldn't make such an obvious mistake, guess I'm gonna ask on wow forums about it.
I checked it with few spells, and so - works with counterspell and blink, doesn't with arcane barrage, spellsteal, mirror image, mana shield, PoM, and i think it didn't for nova aswell... Gives "can't do that when invulnerable" message.

EDIT:
Well it didn't work with ice lance either, so i guess we were talking about different effect - I expected it to work on one key press.

can someone help me with a macro?

working on a macro which lets me dismount, slowfall, PoM and Poly....

got the following:

/dismount
/cast slowfall
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Polymorph

but somehow it doesnt cast polymorph and PoM

can someone help me with this?
i would like to use this in world pvp (WG) or AV, but then without the slowfall...

[Swizzle]

slow all triggers a GCD, so nothing after that will cast.

[sidphoenix]

make 2 macros-one for dismount slowfall, one for POM poly. then it will work. yours would require a castsqeuence, which would make it even more annoying.

can someone post macros for a PVE fire mage ?

Is there a macro for sheeping focus without loosing your current target?

Very nice thread.

[Swizzle]

Very nice thread.

unless you add a line in the macro that specifically switches targets, a standard focus cast polymorph macro should do the trick.

[Valanna]

Yes, it's very easy and if you want to be able to go anywhere with creating useful macros by yourself, you will have to master this type of command,

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead,harm]Polymorph, Polymorph

that will cast poly on your focus if you have a hostile focus that is alive, otherwise it will cast it on your target.

[Stirge]

You can replace the 'target=' with '@' (@focus, etc.). Very handy for squeezing more utility into a single macro if you find yourself short on keybind space.

isnt there a way to add the brain freeze procc to a spammable frostbolt macro?

#showtooltip Frostbolt
/cast Fireball if UnitIsEnemy("player", "target") and HasFullControl() and GetSpellCooldown("Fireball!")
/cast Frostbol

i tried this but this only spams frostbolt

[Lothopti]

I'm looking for a macro that will auto cast Hot Streak Pyro's when they proc. I know that the human reaction time is like .2 seconds, and even more than that when under the influence (lets be honest, we all raid a bit drunk from time to time). With Fireballs being like 1.8s, if a HS procs in the last 10-20% I end up missing it.

A macro that would be attached to my main Fireball nuke with some sort of "if buff = hot streak, then cast Pyroblast, else cast Fireball" would be awesome. I know the quote looks more like programming code, but I'm not an awesome macro maker lol.
