NOTE: There were substantial changes to macros in 3.1. Many spells were renamed, and much of the scripted command functionality has been modified. In an effort to keep WoWWiki posts relevant please re-validate and re-post macros that work in 3.1. When re-creating a macro please describe what it does, and note the version of WoW that you tested it in. Please follow the example format posted below:
(to get the frame around your macro, don't forget to add space before you start your macro)
/y Hooray, I made a macro!
#show Arcane Blast /cast [mod:shift, nochanneling:Arcane Missiles] Arcane Missiles; /castsequence [nochanneling] reset=8/nocombat Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Barrage
#show Blizzard /cast Icy Veins /cast Arcane Power /cast Blizzard
#show Flamestrike /cast Presence of Mind /cast Flamestrike
This is particularly good if you keybind your mousewheel to it.
#show Remove Curse /cast [target=mouseover,noflying,nomounted,nodead,help] Remove Curse; [target=mouseover,noflying,nomounted,nodead,harm] Counterspell; [flying,combat] Slow Fall
/castsequence reset=12/target/combat Living Bomb, Fireball, Fireball, Fireball
/cast [nocombat] Pyroblast; Fireball
/castsequence [nocombat] reset=combat Pyroblast, Fireball; Fireball
/cast [nocombat,nomod][combat,mod:alt] Pyroblast; Fireball
#showtooltip /castsequence reset=6 Flamestrike(Rank 9), Flamestrike(Rank 8)
#showtooltip Buff /castsequence [target=player] reset=4 Arcane Intellect, Ice Armor, Dampen Magic
Replace with what ever buff you need
#showtooltip Shield /castsequence [target=player] reset=4 Ice barrier, Mana shield
#showtooltip Ice block /cast Ice block /cancelaura Ice block
Good for pvp/pve where you need to remove curses/fear fast
#showtooltip /dismount /cast Frost Nova
This macro is useful for getting easy kills on classes without a Slow Fall. Simply fly up to the enemy player, use this macro, and Slow Fall before you hit the ground. You can put this on your bar in place of regular Frost Nova.
#showtooltip Blizzard /castsequence reset=10 Frost Nova, Ice Barrier, Icy Veins, Blizzard, Blink, Cone of Cold
May not the be choice for higher levels, but for AoE leveling grinding as frost its good.
#showtooltip /cast [mod:alt,mod:ctrl]Teleport: Silvermoon;[mod:ctrl,mod:shift]Teleport: Thunder Bluff;[mod:alt,mod:shift]Teleport: Stonard;[mod:shift]Teleport: Shattrath;[mod:alt]Teleport: Orgrimmar;[mod:ctrl]Teleport: Dalaran;[nomod]Teleport: Undercity
#showtooltip /cast [mod:alt,mod:ctrl]Portal: Silvermoon;[mod:ctrl,mod:shift]Portal: Thunder Bluff;[mod:alt,mod:shift]Portal: Stonard;[mod:shift]Portal: Shattrath;[mod:alt]Portal: Orgrimmar;[mod:ctrl]Portal: Dalaran;[nomod]Portal: Undercity
#showtooltip Blizzard /castsequence reset=150 Frost Nova, Mana Shield, Blink, Blizzard, Cone of Cold
#showtooltip Croissant /castsequence [btn:1] reset=10 Arcane Intellect,Molten Armor,Conjure Water, Conjure Food /use [btn:2]Conjured Glacier Water /use [btn:2]Conjured Croissant
This macro is good for start-up as it allows initial buffs, and the conjuring of food and water; or it will consume both food and water with a single click. If you left-click on it, or click on it with a keyboard hotkey, it goes through a sequence which will give the intellect buff, and molten armor - feel free to change that to which ever armor you prefer - followed by conjure water and food. By putting the buffs first, when they run out and you are not out of food, you can simply left click on it twice to renew your buffs. I used to have gem conjuration in the sequence as well, but since they no longer vanish and throw an error if you try to conjure one when you still have one, I thought they did not belong here anymore.
If you right click on it, you will sit, eat, and drink, in one click. By setting #showtooltip to the food - change it to which ever food you conjure - you will see a big red ? when you first log on, to remind you that you need to run it, and, once you have run it, you will see the number of foods you have in stock. At the lower levels you tend to summon 2 more waters than foods, but if you always eat and drink together, it is unlikely that you will run out of water before you run out of food, and excess waters can easily be thrown away; or they will vanish on their own when you log out.
#showtooltip Conjured Glacier Water /target player /castsequence [btn:1,mod:shift] Conjure Water,Conjure Food; [btn:1] reset=10 Dampen Magic,Arcane Intellect,Molten Armor /use [btn:2]Conjured Glacier Water /use [btn:2]Conjured Croissant
Same as above but with more finite control. Left-click to cast your buffs in sequence (dampen/amply magic, intellect, armor). Shift-click to conjure your water and food. Right-click to eat/drink.
If you're like me you'll run out of water/food long before your buffs run out. Dampen/Amply Magic are placed first in the buff list to account for the 10 minute duration; left-click once to refresh just this or multiple times to refresh them all.
#showtooltip /cast [nomounted,nomod:shift,flyable] Golden Gryphon; [nomounted] Swift Brown Steed /stopmacro [nomounted] /dismount /cast [nomodifier:shift] Slow Fall
This macro is very space-saving and usefull for quick flying dismounts from heights without the side effect of death. If in either Outland or Northrend, the macro will use your flying mount. If you're in Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor or hold shift while clicking the macro, the macro will use your ground mount. If you're mounted, the macro will dismount you and cast Slow Fall. If you're mounted, and hold shift while clicking, the macro will dismount you without casting Slow Fall.
Remember, always keep stocked up on Light Feathers or get the Glyph Glyph of Slow Fall, or you might end up falling to your death.
/cast Polymorph /emote polymorphs %t.
#showtooltip Polymorph(Rank 4) /castrandom [harm] Polymorph(Rank 4), Polymorph(Rabbit), Polymorph(Turtle) /stopmacro [noharm] /emote polymorphs %t.
Casts a random polymorph spell if the target is Neutral or Hostile, else cancels the macro. If the target is polymorphed, announces through emote.
The macros below this line have not been validated to work in 3.1. Use at your own risk.
For those who have their UI set up to see their focus target and the target's debuffs, this helps you see when living bomb will go off so you can plan a recast.
#showtooltip Living Bomb /focus /cast Living Bomb
For those of you Blood Elves like me out there that can only counter chain fear three times, allowing the fourth one to hit you and the next lock to have full fear power over your toon, This is to help.
/cancelaura Ice Block /cast [modifier:shift]Counterspell /cast Ice Block
Left-click to ice block, or shift-click to drop block if you're in it, cast CS, and if ice block is off CD, block. Thus, you can click it out of the first fear then shift click to get right back into it the second they start casting fear again.
this gives you 8 seconds of time before they can fear again... and if specced right, 4 before they can do anything else, either.
disables the annoying error sound and clears ui errors from the screen while also telling any existing water elemental to attack your current target. Also switches to the next target when your target dies (less downtime)
#showtooltip Frostbolt /targetenemy [combat, noexists] /console Sound_EnableSFX 0 /Cast Frostbolt /console Sound_EnableSFX 1 /run UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /stopmacro [target=pettarget,exists] /petattack
This will cast frost nova on first press. If frost nova is still in cool down it will cast cold snap on second press, and it will cast frost nova on third press. The stop casting is in case you want to use it to interrupt another spell(ie they run in close while casting frost bolt).
/stopcasting /castsequence reset=21 Frost Nova, Cold Snap
Casts Counterspell immediately, cancelling any spellcast in progress. This helps ensure that you will stop your opponent's cast in time.
#showtooltip Counterspell /stopcasting /cast Counterspell
Casts much like the above except I added Arcane Torrent if counterspell is on cooldown, just in case you need to interrupt another spell cast (for all you BE mages out there like me). If you select the "?" icon then it will show the image of which spell you're going to use.
#showtooltip /stopcasting /castsequence reset=24 Counterspell, Arcane Torrent
I tried to play around with it so that if you felt the need you could shift click it to use arcane torrent (silence more than 1 enemy) but I couldn't figure out how to do it, if someone wants to add in to the macro to allow this, please go ahead.
#showtooltip /stopcasting /castsequence [button:2][modifier:shift] Arcane Torrent; reset=24 Counterspell, Arcane Torrent
This will let you cast - with shift and any button or button 2, Arcane Torrent, otherwise the normal sequence of counterspell followed by Arcane Torrent
Similar to Quick Counterspell, casts Ice Barrier immediately, cancelling any spellcast in progress, allowing you to absorb damage now instead of later.
#showtooltip Ice Barrier /stopcasting /cast Ice Barrier
Pops two trinkets (whatever is in the 13th and 14th inventory slots) and finishes with a damage spell. This boosts DPS by reducing the number of keystrokes or clicks necessary for this common cast sequence.
#showtooltip Frostbolt /use 13 /use 14 /cast Frostbolt
Each action has the potential to fail (when the trinkets are on cooldown or you lose line of sight on your opponent) and produce an error message and sound. Suppressing these errors makes the macro more pleasant to spam. Below is the version with the error suppression.
#showtooltip Frostbolt /use 13 /use 14 /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() /cast Frostbolt
To disable the annoying error sound you get when your trinkets are on cooldown you can use the following macro (credit to Syrloin on Steamwheedle Cartel):
#showtooltip Frostbolt
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use 13
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/cast Frostbolt
aka PoM Pyro, the largest burst of damage a mage can deliver. Requires an arcane/fire spec. Cast the following sequence instantly and with a single button press:
#showtooltip Pyroblast /cast Presence of Mind /cast Arcane Power /use 13 /use 14 /cast Pyroblast
This is the arcane/frost version of the previous macro:
#showtooltip Frostbolt /cast Presence of Mind /cast Arcane Power /cast Icy Veins /use Icon of the Silver Crescent /cast Frostbolt
=== Experimental Hybrid Mage Win Button This is an interesting macro ,from the experimental Hybrid Mage Build:
/cast Counterspell /cast Arcane Power /cast Icy Veins /use 13/14 [Skull of Gul'dan] /cast Presence of Mind /cast Pyroblast
Note : It will nuke the player , and after that you can use Frostbolt/Firebolt.
#showtooltip Ice Lance /stopcasting /target [exists] Grounding Totem /cast Ice Lance /targetlasttarget
NOTE: Grounding Totem Makes the exact same effect.
This macro will attempt to cast Counterspell on your mouseover target. If your mouse is not targeting someone, it will cast Counterspell on your current target instead.
It is also excellent for use with Ice Lance, as well as non-Mage abilities including Earth Shock, Blind, Warlock curses, Feral Charge etc.
#showtooltip Counterspell /stopcasting /cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,exists] Counterspell
"Dude! Quit breaking my sheep!" You've said it before, and you'll say it again. Might as well make it a macro. And since you're already writing a macro, might as well make the announcement *before* they can break your sheep.
This macro will first cast Polymorph, then (if your target was sheepable) announce (in party chat) the name of the mob you're sheeping. If you have no target, if your target is dead or if your target is friendly, you will not successfully sheep nor will you announce the attempt.
/cast Polymorph /stopmacro [noexists] [dead] [help] /p Sheeping %t. Back off it.
Using focus to keep an eye on your sheep can make you more reliable cc while also maximizing your DPS during the sheep's lifespan. The following macro gives you a single button that automatically manages your sheep as a focus until it dies or until you manually replace it with your current target.
When you click, if you're not already watching a sheep, your current target is put in focus and Polymorphed. Any subsequent clicks will resheep your focus, leaving you free to target something else for damage. Once your sheep is killed, click again to set your current target as focus and sheep it.
If you need to sheep a different target before your current sheep is down, target the new sheep, hold shift and click to make the change.
#showtooltip [target=focus,harm] [] Polymorph /stopcasting /clearfocus [modifier:shift][target=focus,dead][target=focus,noexists] /focus [target=focus,noexists] /cast [target=focus] Polymorph
Note that using this macro will interrupt any cast in progress and immediately focus and Polymorph.
This polymorph macro will do the following:
This allows one button to do the whole sheeping process without the need for a separate /clearfocus button (though an additional macro that does a /script SetRaidTarget("focus",0) and then a /clearfocus would be useful to let the group know the sheep is free game now might be useful)
#showtooltip
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 1)
/cast [target=focus]Polymorph
/stopmacro [nogroup]
/s --== Sheeping and Marking "%t" ==--
As of 2.1, you can also use %f to insert your focus name in chat just like %t inserts your target. Thus, to alert your party that you are sheeping (or re-sheeping) your focus and not your target, try this instead of the last line above:
/s --== Sheeping and Marking "%f" ==--
This polymorph macro will do the following:
/focus [button:1] /cast [button:1,nomodifier:shift] Polymorph; [target=focus,exists,button:2,nomodifier:shift] Polymorph /stopmacro [nomodifier:shift] /target focus
This polymorph macro will do the following:
/focus [button:1] /cast [button:1,nomodifier:shift] Polymorph; [target=focus,exists,button:2,nomodifier:shift] Polymorph /stopmacro [nomodifier:shift] /target [button:2] focus /castsequence Presence of Mind, Polymorph
This is a modified version of the focus-following macros above, that will reset your focus to your mouseover target. This means you can switch polymorph focus without changing your current target.
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead][target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=mouseover,exists][target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 1)
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph
/stopmacro [nogroup]
/p --== Sheeping and Marking "%f" ==--
/castrandom [harm] Polymorph(Rank 4), Polymorph(Pig), Polymorph(Turtle) /stopmacro [noharm] /emote randomly polymorphs %t.
This macro is an easy macro that, when left clicked, eats your Conjured Mana Strudel. When right clicked it attempts to Conjure Refreshments. When holding down the modifier Alt and right clicking, you attempt to perform a Ritual of Refreshments for your family and friends. I bound a random, inconspicuous button on my action bar to a key, the key press is considered a left click. So, when pressed, I eat my Conjured Mana Strudel. Works marvelously.
#showtooltip /cast [but:2,mod:alt] Ritual of Refreshment /stopmacro [mod] /use [but:1] Conjured Mana Strudel /cast [but:2] Conjure Refreshment
#showtooltip /cast [but:2,mod:alt] Ritual of Refreshment;[but:2] Conjure Refreshment /use [but:1] Conjured Mana Strudel
The above macro performs exactly the same, preference really.
Left click to conjure, right click to consume. Click normally to conjure/drink water, shift-click to conjure/eat food, and control-click to conjure/consume mana gem (replace names of items with whatever the name of what you are currently conjuring is) If you use the ? Icon with this macro, the icon will automatically change based on what buttons you are holding.
/cast [button:1,nomodifier]Conjure Water;[button:1,modifier:shift]Conjure Food;[button:1,modifier:ctrl]Conjure Mana Jade; /use [button:2,nomodifier]Conjured Spring Water;[button:2,modifier:shift]Conjured Pumpernickel;[button:2,modifier:ctrl]Mana Jade;
A right click will cycle through conjuring food, water, and a mana gem, resetting the cycle after 8 seconds. A right click with shift held will conjure a mana gem, regardless of castsequence position. Left clicking will drink with no modifiers, eat with control, and use the mana gem with shift. Note that this is MUCH more useful with the question mark icon.
/cast [modifier:alt]Conjure Mana Agate /castsequence [nomodifier,button:2] reset=8 Conjure Water,Conjure Food,Conjure Mana Agate /stopmacro [button:2] /use [nomodifier]Conjured Purified Water;[modifier:ctrl]Conjured Rye;[modifier:shift]Mana Agate
It's an easy macro if you want to eat and drink with a single click.
/use Conjured Crystal Water /use Conjured Cinnamon Roll
If you someetimes replace your food and water with conjured manna biscuits, you may want to refer to the food by bag slot location instead of by name. This will use show the amount and type of food in the 20th slot of the first bag (to the left of the backpack which is zero). Pressing Alt will show and use the slot above it. Clicking it once will use the 20th slot item, clicking it again will use the 16th slot item. If you keep food and water there normally, you'll use them both. If you replace them with Manna Biscuits, it will display and use them instead. If you have different sized bags, adjust the numbers accordingly.
#showtooltip /cast [modifier:alt][button:2] 1 16 /castsequence [nomodifier:alt, button:1] reset=20 1 20, 1 16
You can condense conjuring and drinking onto a single button using click-logic. In this macro, right-clicks summon water, and left-clicks to use it. The "#showtooltip" command will display the count of waters in your inventory on the button face, unless you are holding down Alt, in which case it will show the spell's tooltip, and if you use the "?" macro icon, it will also show the water-bottle icon and tooltip description on your tool-bar.
#showtooltip [modifier:alt] Conjure Water; Conjured Glacier Water /cast [button:2] Conjure Water /use [button:1] Conjured Glacier Water
#showtooltip [modifier:alt] Conjure Food; Conjured Croissant /cast [button:2] Conjure Food /use [button:1] Conjured Croissant
This is similar to the above macro, but allows Conjuring and Consumption of both food and water from a single button. Clicking activates both Drink and Eat. Right click to conjure Water, and Ctrl+Right click to conjure food. The tooltip will show the number of Conjured Crystal Water you have.
#show Conjured Crystal Water /cast [button:2,nomodifier] Conjure Water /cast [button:2,modifier:ctrl] Conjure Food /use [button:1] Conjured Cinnamon Roll /use [button:1] Conjured Crystal Water
this is an easy conjure/use macro for mages, it needs to be mouse clicked though ( anything after "-" is comments)
#show none - so that your UI don't get confused since we got 2 usable items /use [nomodifier:alt,button:1] <add conjured food name here> - left click = eat food /use [nomodifier:alt,button:2] <add conjured water name here> - right click = drink water /cast [modifier:alt, button:1] Conjure Food - alt+left click = conjure highest rank food /cast [modifier:alt,button:2] Conjure Water - alt+right click = conjure highest rank water
The same logic can be used for food or mana gems, just substitute the names as appropriate. Obviously, replace with the name of the highest-rank item you can conjure.
Patch 3.0.2 changed all mana gems to be unique 1, so you cannot have all rank gems.
If you like to have one button per gem for conjuring and casting you can use this macro for each of your gems. Rightclicking it conjures the gem. Any other way of activating the macro (button press or leftclick or something) uses the gem. Of crouse your replace the gem name with the gem you wanted to use. Downside is that if you use the questionmark icon for the macro, it only shows the gem icon if you have it in your inventory. The gem icon turns into a red questionmark when you log in or zone while not having the gem on you. Hope this gets fixed soon. Alternatively, you can select a fixed macro icon that resembles the gem.
#show Mana Citrine /cast [button:2] Conjure Mana Citrine /stopmacro [button:2] /use Mana Citrine
Merely replacing "#show Mana Citrine" with "#show Conjure Mana Citrine" works as well, however with Mana Emerald it won't show the charges.
This macro will conjure a mana gem if you do not already have one, or use one if you do:
#show Mana Ruby /use Mana Ruby /cast [nocombat] Conjure Mana Ruby
Replace "Mana Ruby" with whatever your highest level of mana gem is. The "nocombat" conditional ensures that you do not use the gem then immediately try to conjure another one while you are in a hot situation.
#showtooltip Mana Emerald /cast [button:1] Conjure Mana Gem /use [button:2] Mana Emerald
In patch 3.0.2 Blizzard change all the Conjured Mana Gems (Citrine, Ruby, Emerald, etc.) casting names to read just Conjure Mana Gem. The above will conjure the highest Mana Gem you have (In a 70's case it would be the Mana Emerald) by left clicking then will use the Mana Emerald by simply right clicking (Just change Mana Emerald to read whichever Mana Gem you use).
Throws out your current Mana Emerald, recreates a new one with three charges. Saves you from finding your current Emerald in your bags and throwing it out manually if you've used a charge or two and want a new one. (As of patch 3.0.2 this is done automatically. If your Mana Emerald has less than three charges, casting will make it have three charges. If it has three charges it will not cast.)
/run for b=0,4,1 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b),1 do local n=GetContainerItemLink(b,s) if n and string.find(n,"Mana Emerald") then PickupContainerItem(b,s) DeleteCursorItem() end end end /cast Conjure Mana Gem
This macro is designed to teleport you to Stormwind or Ironforge, and also displays how many runes you have left. Right click = Ironforge Ctrl+Right Click = Stormwind. Enjoy!
#show Rune of Teleportation /say Teleporting, Cya! /cast [button:2,nomodifier] Teleport: Ironforge /cast [button:2,modifier:ctrl] Teleport: Stormwind
These macros will take 3 slots only, and will include every available portals and teleports. modifier + left click, will teleport and modifier + right click will create a portal.(except stonard, one macro includes stonard teleport ONLY, and other one includes stonard portal ONLY)
This macro will be Silvermoon City teleport/portal if no modifier key used, will change to Thunder Bluff if "alt" key is pressed, and will change to Stonard if "shift" key is pressed. Remember; Left click teleports, right click creates portal (except stonard)
#showtooltip /cast [nomodifier,btn:1]Teleport: Silvermoon /cast [nomodifier,btn:2]Portal: Silvermoon /cast [modifier:alt,btn:1]Teleport: Thunder Bluff /cast [modifier:alt,btn:2]Portal: Thunder Bluff /cast [modifier:shift,btn:1]Teleport: Stonard
This macro will be Orgrimmar teleport/portal if no modifier key used, will change to Undercity if "alt" key is pressed, and will change to Stonard if "shift" key is pressed. Remember; Left click teleports, right click creates portal (except stonard)
#showtooltip /cast [nomodifier,btn:1]Teleport: Orgrimmar /cast [nomodifier,btn:2]Portal: Orgrimmar /cast [modifier:alt,btn:1]Teleport: Undercity /cast [modifier:alt,btn:2]Portal: Undercity /cast [modifier:shift,btn:1]Portal: Stonard
This macro will be Shattrat City teleport/portal if no modifier key used, will change to Dalaran if "alt" key is pressed, and will change to Stonard if "shift" key is pressed. Remember; Left click teleports, right click creates portal.
#showtooltip /cast [nomodifier,btn:1]Teleport: Shattrat /cast [nomodifier,btn:2]Portal: Shattrat /cast [modifier:alt,btn:1]Teleport: Dalaran /cast [modifier:alt,btn:2]Portal: Dalaran
This macro is designed to let you keep running through stuff you don't want to fight without taking damage (and thus not being Dazed). It will always mount you, but if you are targeting something dangerous, it will put up Mana Shield first.
#show Chestnut Mare Bridle (or whatever your mount item is) /cast [nomounted,harm] Mana Shield /stopcasting /use Chestnut Mare Bridle (or whatever your mount item is)
By clicking the left mousebutton you buff yourself, by clicking the right mousebutton you buff your current target (the default way). You can also change the spell ('Arcane Intellect' used in the example) to whatever you like (i.e. 'Remove Curse').
#Showtooltip Arcane Intellect /cast [target=player,button:1] Arcane Intellect /cast [button:2] Arcane Intellect
Alternately you can use this macro for the similar effect. This will cast AI on self on right click, your target on left click, and your target's party if you are in a group (party/raid) and are holding the ctrl key on left click (mainly useful for not wasting your arcane powder unnecessarily)
#Showtooltip Arcane Intellect /cast [target=player,button:2] Arcane Intellect /cast [button:1] Arcane Intellect /cast [modifier:ctrl,group,button:1] Arcane Brilliance
You can also use this one. Casts AI on left click, AB on right click. Also respects alt selfcast, and shows the amount of arcane powder left on the macro icon. Just select the Arcane Brilliance icon from the macro interface.
#show Arcane Powder /cast [button:2, modifier:alt, target=player] Arcane Brilliance; [button:2] Arcane Brilliance; [modifier:alt, target=player] Arcane Intellect; Arcane Intellect
It simply makes you slowfall but it dismounts you first. If you lack the manual dexterity to dismount and then slowfall when you accidentally drop down a cliff, this macro will help you lots. Also, this thing shows the number of light feathers you have left on the macro icon. Note: you will need to press this button twice to dismount and slowfall! Failure to do so in combination with un'goro or flying mounts can have bad consequences.
#show Light Feather /dismount /cast Slow Fall
Note that as of Patch 2.1, abilities that previously could not be cast while mounted (such as Slow Fall) will now automatically dismount your player.
Removes the need to target yourself if you are not targeting someone else that is friendly. I.E. Make sure that you aren't targeting any friendlies when you are falling so it will cast it on yourself
/cast [help, target=target] Slow Fall; [target=player] Slow Fall
Leftclick teleports you, rightclick summons a portal. The macro shows the amount of teleport stones you have left. Select a custom icon for this one. All the city icons are in the default list. Of course, you adjust the city name to suit your needs.
#show Rune of Portals /cast [button:2] Portal: Shattrath; Teleport: Shattrath
As of patch 2.1 not only will buttons display the number of reagents available for spells but macros that select different spells will change in real time to show which will be cast. The following macro will teleport you if you are alone and will open a portal if you are in a party or raid, unless you override it by holding down a modifier key (shift/ctrl/alt). Use the red question mark icon to see which spell will be cast when you use the macro.
/cast [group,nomodifier] Portal: Shattrath; Teleport: Shattrath /stopmacro [nogroup][modifier] /p << Shattrath Portal Incoming >>
Leftclick teleports you, rightclick summons a portal, middle button click announces to raid or party that you're creating a portal. Very similar to the macro above.
/cast [button:2/3] Portal: Shattrath; Teleport: Shattrath
/stopmacro [button:1/2]
/script local C; if(GetNumRaidMembers()==0) then C = "PARTY" else C = "RAID" end SendChatMessage("Opening Portal to [Shattrath City], Enjoy your trip.", C)
Uses one button to cast any teleport; choose by your combination of mod keys. Right-click uses Hearthstone.
#showtooltip /cast [btn:2]Hearthstone;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt]Teleport: Shattrath;[nomod]Teleport: Ironforge;[mod:shift]Teleport: Stormwind;[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt]Teleport: Darnassus;[mod:alt,nomod:ctrl]Teleport: Exodar
Uses one button to cast teleport, portal and hearthstone; choose by your combination of mod keys. Middle-click uses Hearthstone.
#showtooltip /cast [btn:3,nomod]Hearthstone;[btn:1,nomod]Teleport: Stormwind;[mod:shift]Teleport: Ironforge;[mod:ctrl]Teleport: Darnassus;[btn:2]Portal: Stormwind;[btn:2,mod:shift]Portal: Ironforge;[btn:2,mod:ctrl]Portal: Darnassus;
Uses one button to cast portals to all cities. Easily edited into a separate button for Teleporting.
#showtooltip /cast [btn:1,nomod]Portal: Orgrimmar;[mod:shift]Portal: Silvermoon;[mod:ctrl,nomod:alt]Portal: Thunder Bluff;[mod:alt,nomod:ctrl]Portal: Undercity;[mod:alt,mod:ctrl]Portal: Shattrath;
Keep your arms and legs inside the portal at all times.
Left click for Molten Armor, right click for Frost Armor, and alt-click for Mage Armor. Very handy for conserving hotbar space and the like. You can edit the first line to have it display whichever armor's tooltip you prefer, simply change the name of the spell.
#showtooltip Molten Armor; /cast [button:2] Frost Armor; [nomodifier:alt] Molten Armor; Mage Armor;
This macro is similar, but buffs Molten Armor with left click, Ice Armor with right click, and Mage Armor with middle mouse click (scroll wheel button).
/cast [button:2] Ice Armor; [button:3] Mage Armor; Molten Armor;
This macro makes it so you can easily remove curses from party members by continually clicking the macro button. The first click will target you, the second will target the closest party member to you. This continues to all party members within range.
For party:
/targetparty /cast Remove Curse
For raid:
/targetraid /cast Remove Curse
This macro comes from the Discord Mods forum and is extremely useful for raiding, allowing you to decurse a member of your party/raid without having target them. Just hover your mouse over the person's frame in the raid window and hit the key that binds this macro. When using a raid window tuned to show who is in need of decursing (CT Raid comes to mind) this is makes for extremely fast decursing without having to change targets.
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Remove Curse
With the advent of the arcane spec becoming viable (ABx3->AM->scorch/fireblast rotation) with 2 part Tirisfal Regalia pieces, not casting while channeling arcane missiles needs to be linked to the vast majority of your spells. This is due to arcane blast being a 7 second "buff/debuff" therefore only having .5 seconds of latency & downtime between the last two spells of the rotation and again casting arcane blast.
This macro will make it so if you hit the arcane missiles key while casting arcane missiles, nothing happens, but if you are not casting them then you will begin to cast them.
#Showtooltip Arcane Missiles /cast [nochanneling:Arcane Missiles] Arcane Missiles
This macro allows you to spam a non-channeled spellkey while channeling arcane missiles and not interrupt the channel (trinket included to show you can also add them in)
#Showtooltip Arcane Blast /use [nochanneling:Arcane Missiles] 13 /cast [nochanneling:Arcane Missiles] Arcane Blast
You should also do this to your scorch and/or fireblast spells in order to spam them, as casting AM and scorch/fireblast only gives you .5 seconds to again cast arcane blast before you lose the "buff/debuff"
Some of these ideas are taken from Pet management macros for Warlocks. Having to manually control your 45s pet (or even 1 minute with talents) as a mage is counter productive, he's only around for 45s you should try and maximise his efforts as much as possible.
This instructs your pet to stay where he is and start casting his Frostbolt while you cast your Frostbolt. You could also cater this macro to any other spells you like.
#showtooltip Frostbolt /petstay /petattack /cast Frostbolt
In my experience when I'm frost nova'ing an area I tend to want to run away from things attacking me there and since a retadin can 3-shot a water elemental it's a good idea to get him out of there too. This combines frost nova w/ petfollow to give you a way to make your elemental to follow you.
#showtooltip Frost Nova /petfollow /stopcasting /cast Frost Nova
Very simple macro that makes you cast Pet Frost Nova if normal Frost Nova is on cooldown and hides error messages, incase one of those in on cooldown.
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/cast Frost Nova
/click [pet] PetActionButton5
/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
#showtooltip Frost Nova
/petfollow
/stopcasting
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/cast Frost Nova
/click [pet] PetActionButton5
/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
Another good idea is to just let your pet unload on whoever when you iceblock, if you do this though, you may want make a macro or add a /petdefensive in another spell of yours to switch him back.
#showtooltip Ice Block /petaggressive /cast Ice Block
The following is intended to work for 11+/0+/41+ mages. It should summon an elemental on a left click, buff the pet with Focus Magic (hence the 11+/) on right click and have the pet attack your target by left clicking a second time. Obviously, if you are in the group with a more appropriate recipient of Focus Magic or haven't spec'd for that spell, then remove or ignore that section.
#showtooltip Summon Water Elemental /cast [button:2,target=pet] Focus Magic; [pet] Waterbolt; Summon Water Elemental
#showtooltip Summon Water Elemental /castsequence [target=pet,exists] Arcane Intellect,Focus magic /cast [target=pet,noexists] Summon Water Elemental
The above macro is designed to be used when already in, or going to be in combat shortly. After summoned, your pet will attack your current target if previously engaged. Upon cast, if no pet is present, you will summon your water elemental. Once summoned, the next two times the macro is activated, you will Buff your pet with Arcane Intellect followed by Focus Magic. A Nice +60 Int will allow the Pet to have a slightly higher Crit chance to which you will benefit from due to Focus Magic :)
This macro summons your elemental and on next press, allows you to cast freeze. If you have a hostile target, your elemental will start attacking it. To use the elemental's second freeze, simply wait for the cooldown to elapse and press the same button again. If you want your elemental to attack a different target but don't want to cast freeze yet, simply right click the screen when the aoe circle appears and you can recast it when you are ready (it doesn't affect your current spell). This is very handy if you want to spam a button to summon, attack and nova something quickly. Alt and shift will set pet to follow or stay.
/castsequence reset=60 summon water elemental, freeze, freeze /petattack [nomodifier] /petfollow [modifier:alt] /petstay [modifier:ctrl]
On the first press of this macro, one of your available trinkets will be popped, Icy Veins will be cast and your Water Elemental will be summoned. The second press of this macro will bring up your pets targeting reticle for its Freeze ability and your pet will begin to attack your current target. In addition, this macro will hide any resulting error messages and temporarily disable any error sounds from playing. The key is on the second press of this macro. The idea is to simultaneously or as quickly as you can click near your target to cast Freeze and cast your own Frostbolt at the same time immediately followed by an Ice Lance. The end result is a shatter combo where your target will be frozen and hit by both your pets Waterbolt, your own Frostbolt and Ice Lance relatively at the same time, all of which will land a critical strike.
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide(); /console Sound_EnableSFX 0 /use 13 /use 14 /cast Icy Veins /cast [nopet] Summon Water Elemental /cast [pet] Freeze /petattack [target] /console Sound_EnableSFX 1 /script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); /script UIErrorsFrame:Show();
