Macros for Mages
I think every mage should have some basic macros. Its easy, fast and help your ingame's life a lot :)
POLYMORPH
- Announce Polymorph
/cast Polymorph
/stopmacro [noexists] [dead] [help]
/p Sheeping %t. Back off it
- Polymorph Focus
Very usefull in arena games. 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.
/clearfocus [modifier:shift]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]; [target=focus,dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus,help]
/stopcasting
/cast [target=focus,exists,harm] Polymorph; Polymorph
ARCANE EXPLOSION
Arcane Explosion Rank 1 and high rank in only one button
When out of combat it will cast Arcane Explosion rank 1 for two reasons: It is useful for looking for stealthed enemies to conserve mana, as well as being helpful when protecting points of interest in PvP.
/cast [nocombat] Arcane Explosion(Rank 1); Arcane Explosion
/stopcasting
ANTI GROUNDING TOTEM
- 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. (very usefull in arena)
/stopcasting
/focus target
/target [exists] Grounding Totem
/cast Ice Lance
/target focus
/clearfocus
-- F R O S T M A C R O S --
WATER ELEMENTAL PET
- Spammable Summon & Attack
This will summon your pet, and if pressed again, will set it to attack your target ones the lag on summoning finishes. Spamming is okay, and won’t cause your pet’s first waterbolt to cancel and restart.
/cast [nopet] Summon Water Elemental
/stopmacro [target=pettarget, exists]
/petattack
- Pet Frost Nova
/click [pet] PetActionButton5
/stopmacro [target=pettarget, exists]
/click [pet] PetActionButton5
COUNTERSPELL
- Quick Counterspell
Casts Counterspell immediately, cancelling any spellcast in progress. This helps ensure that you will stop your opponent's cast in time.
/stopcasting
/cast Counterspell
ICE BARRIER
- 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.
/stopcasting
/cast Ice Barrier
FROSTBOLT
- 2 TrinketS, then Cast (GREAT FOR PVE)
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. The "/run" script is to disable the annoying error sound you get when your trinkets are on cooldown.
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use 13
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/cast Frostbolt
ICE BLOCK
- Breakable Ice Block A 1.5 second “dead time” on toggle buttons like Ice Block was implemented to prevent unintentionally canceling buffs by spamming. This macro will restore previous functionality so Ice Block can be used to cancel debuffs almost instantaneously.
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Ice Block
-- F I R E M A C R O S --
AKA POM PYRO
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 (optional, very carefull if you have your pvp trinket. You can leave just one line for trinket /use 14 (or 13))
Pyroblast
To get all this to happen with a single button press, need /stopcasting after the PoM and AP .
/cast Presence of Mind
/stopcasting
/cast Arcane Power
/stopcasting
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Pyroblast
FIREBALL
- Fireball/Combustion/ 2 Trinkets (GREAT FOR PVE)
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use 13
/use 14
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/cast Combustion
/stopcasting
/cast Fireball

Arena talent guide for baby mages
Found this post on WoWInsider.com (actually this site became my favorite). Very good tips for mage who wants to find a good tree for pvp arena spec. Full frost is the best in my opinion, more survability and the water elemental pet helps a lot. But if you want burst damage I suggest Arcane/Fire, this is my actual pvp spec arena tree for 5x5 and 2x2. If you want to try Arcane/Fire in 5x5 I suggest you to cast Inivisibility Spell on the beggining of the game, because you probably will be the first target. Unfortunately Arcane and Fire mages die prety easily for melee in 5x5 because we dont have Ice Block and Ice Barrier, BUT, next patch, Ice Block will be trainable!! A lot of thing are going to change for us in Arena, just wait.... Here is the artcile, have fun :)
Shaan on the European forums has taken the time to write out a guide to building a mage Arena spec. Although the guide itself is not new, the information within it is still extremely valuable. Now, while PvP pros out there probably know all this information, this is the sort of post that gives me the massive amount of information I need as an Arena beginner. Think of the thread as a spec buffet, only each dish is laid out with pros, cons, and a rating on a scale between 1 and 10. Shaan not only talks about PvP builds in the thread, he also gives some pretty sound advice for those of us new to Arena battles. For example, he suggests using rank 1 spells for many of the standard mage actions: Polymorph, Frost Nova, rank 1 Frostbolt and rank 1Cone of Cold keybound for kiting. Yes yes, I realize that you've already got a 1800 rating and this is all baby stuff to you, but there are plenty of us out there that simply need direction when it comes to the Arena, myself included. It's a good enough guide that Salthem recently added it to the useful mage sticky thread, which is how I found this gem of a guide. Do you have any suggestions to add to the guide now that Patch 2.3 is changing things up a bit?
