Mage Combat Macros,Living Bomb Macro,Living Bomb Timer

Combat

Living Bomb

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

Anti-chain-fear

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.

Pyroblast or Fireball

Casts Pyro if you're not in combat (as an opener), Fireball otherwise

/cast [nocombat] Pyroblast; Fireball

a slight improvement on the above macro, for button mashers

/castsequence [nocombat] reset=combat Pyroblast, Fireball; Fireball

functions exactly the same way, except that if you are button mashing it won't attempt to cast pyroblast again in that small space before you enter combat after casting.

Another one, defaulting to Pyroblast out of combat, and fireball in combat, but letting you hold alt to switch:

/castsequence [nocombat,modifier:alt] Fireball; [nocombat][combat,modifier:alt] Pyroblast, Fireball; Fireball

Frost Nova / Cold Snap

IMPORTANT NOTE: The following macro is bugged as "reset" cannot be used to account for spell cooldowns. This is due to the fact that the reset timer is set back to 0 any time the macro is run. You could therefore continue pressing the button indefinitely and the castsequence would never reset to Frost Nova, because you would be restarting the reset timer with each press. It should be removed but I left it here for reference purposes.

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

Quick Counterspell

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

Quick Ice Barrier

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

Trinket, then Cast

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

The I Win Button

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:

Presence of Mind, to make Pyroblast an instant cast
Arcane Power, increasing spell damage and mana consumption by 30% for the next 15 seconds.
Pop first trinket (probably something that boosts damage or crit)
Pop second trinket (same deal)
Pyroblast

No longer needs /stopcasting after the PoM and AP to get all this to happen with a single button press.

#showtooltip Pyroblast /cast Presence of Mind /cast Arcane Power /use 13 /use 14 /cast Pyroblast

The POM-FROST win button

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.

Anti Grounding Totem Ice Lance

When used, this macro will cast Ice Lance on the nearest Grounding Totem without you losing your current target.
If no Grounding Totem exists it will simply cast Ice Lance on your current target. NOTE: while a slight edit will make this a good macro for removing other totems, this macro is absolutely unnecessary for removing grounding totems because grounding totems force harmful spells to target them...that's their purpose.

#showtooltip Ice Lance /stopcasting /target [exists] Grounding Totem /cast Ice Lance /targetlasttarget

NOTE: Grounding Totem Makes the exact same effect.

Cast on mouseover or target

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
