Macros
Fire Specific Macros
1-Button Combustion
- #showtooltip Combustion
- /cast Berserking
- /cast Combustion
- /use 13
This will cast
Combustion and activate the first trinket slot at
the same time. Additionally, it will also activate
Berserking. If you
have a different race, you can replace Berserking for your race. Keep in
mind that you can use Combustion while casting other spells, in which case,
you will have to keep pressing the macro until after the cast finishes to
activate the trinket and racial.
Cast At Cursor Meteor
- #showtooltip Meteor
- /cast [@cursor] Meteor;
This will cast
Meteor at the location of your cursor instead of
first showing a targeting circle. You can replace Meteor for any other spell
with a targeting circle, like
Flamestrike or
Ring of Frost.
Generic Macros for Mages
Stopcast Blink
- #showtooltip
- /stopcasting
- /cast Blink
Pressing
Blink will now cancel your current spellcast and
causes you to immediately Blink. Note that this should not be used with
Shimmer as it will unnecessarily cancel your current cast.
1-Button Block
- #showtooltip
- /stopcasting
- /cancelaura Ice Block
- /cast Ice Block
Cancels your current cast and immediately puts you in
Ice Block.
Pressing Ice Block again will cancel the effect. Not recommended if you spam your
buttons.
Block Cancel
- /cancelaura Ice Block
If you are a button spammer, you can put this on a separate keybind as your
Ice Block, allowing you to cancel your Ice Block early if you so
desire.
Alter Time Cancel
- /cancelaura Alter Time
You can use the above macro to cancel
Alter Time if you do not want to
be teleported back to the location/health where you were when you initially cast
Alter Time.
Mouseover Decurse
- #showtooltip
- /use [@cursor]Remove Curse
This will remove curses on whatever unit you are mousing over. You can replace
Remove Curse for any other spells you might want to do on mouseover,
like
Spellsteal.
Addons
ElvUI
ElvUI is a complete replacement of the default User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly: action bars, unit frames, cooldown timers, proc displays, etc.
Method Raid Tools
Method Raid Tools is a useful addon that allows you to track the cooldowns of other raid members, as well as providing you with a wealth of other useful raid information.
