Macros

This group of pages is to create a reference version of the macros I use in game. I will include most if not all of them. I will have class specific pages for each class as I add them. General macros I will place here.

A little background is needed here to explain some of my naming conventions, especially for the Druid and Rogue macros.

I use a trackball to play the game, one with 2 buttons so I don’t have any of the fancy “Click” bindings that you find with people with 2-12 button mice.  I also don’t like to use 1-+ on the normal part of the keyboard and will only occasionally use F1-F5.

What I uses is the numeric key pad and on the druid/rogue I have a very specific mapping such that Btn(?) refers to numeric keypad ?, so Btn1 is numeric key pad 1.   I also am using Bartender to arrange my macros/abilities in the same pattern as the numeric keypad usable buttons are arranged.

So you get the following number of columns in a row.

Class Macros

Death Knight Macros
Druid Macros
Hunter Macros
Mage Macros
Paladin Macros
Priest Macros
Rogue Macros
Shaman Macros
Warlock Macros
Warrior Macros

General Macros

If DPS in a 5 Man Dungeon.

Target the Tank, type:

/focus tar

Now create a macro with the following:

#showtooltip
/tar focustarget
/cast "some primary spell you cast"

If in a raid and you have main and or secondary target assists and need to switch to their target quickly the above will work as well.

For Anub’arak in ToC during WotLK I used the following macro on my Mage for the Ice Spheres.

#showtooltip
/tar Frost Orb
/cast icelance

During normal mode I would run around spamming this covering the room with ice.
