One Click Wonders: Part 2

Time for part two of the fantastic Mage macros.

For part two I think I'll post a few usefull PvP macros.

The first being the ever loved; "Ele, Freeze, and get your Shatter combo" macro.

/cast [target=pet,dead] Summon Water Elemental; [nopet] Summon Water Elemental
/stopmacro [nopet]
/petpassive
/click [pet] PetActionButton5
/petattack

Break it down!!!

Line one will pull out your Ele, if it is dead, or doesn't exist.
Line two will stop the whole thing if you can't get a pet (cooldown might not be up)
Line three will put your pet on passive so it follows you.
Line four clicks the Ele's "Freeze" spell, and will give you the targeting reticle to use.
Line five will make your pet attack the target you want. (if none are selected, it will attack the Nova's mob/player)

You'll need to click this macro,(or smash the button) a few times to get it to go through, but it's a pretty nasty one when used right.


The next one is a Focus and CS macro.

/stopcasting
/cast [target=focus,exists,harm] Counterspell
/cast [target=mouseover,harm] Counterspell;Counterspell
/cast [exists,harm] Counterspell

First line stops your casting, so that you don't have to jump, or move, or hit esc.
Second line will set your target to focus, or target your focus, and if they are casting anything, it will Counterspell them.
Third line will Counterspell your mouseover if you have no target/focus.
Fourth line will target your focus, and Counterspell them if you see them casting.

The last is for those pesky Grounding Totems. You know the ones that can soak up an intire Pyroblast, or ruin a good Shatter combo?

Well this will take em out with hardly any mana...

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

First line shows the Tooltip
Second line stops your casting.
Third line targets the nearest grounding totem if there is one.
Fourth line will cast Ice Lance (or any other instant low mana spell)
Fifth line will retarget whomever you had targeted before.

A Step or Two on the Other Side...

Over the past couple weeks I’ve been watching a lot of PvP videos. Mostly Magely PvP, as I will readily admit, that’s what drew me to the class. Some of my favorite PvP happen to be none other than Taco’s videos. He exerts skill and classiness into his Maging.

And of course, with every decision in WoW comes the question, is it just for fun, or is it good for the toon? I’ll mostly be PvPing with the wife, who has fallen in love with this new toon of hers, and is dead set on getting the Main Hand. It’s a damn good mace, and from my understanding, very difficult for a priestly healer like herself to replace until 25 mans.

So what might I get in this little bit of squishy destruction? (Please note that because my wife and I have maybe 30 resilience between the two of us, it will mostly be the squishes getting destroyed)

This is the first thing that caught my attention.

Guardian's Pendant of Subjugation

Pretty nice neck, no?

And it’s gots a socket. You’ll be hard pressed to find one better that is also that easily attainable. 15,300 honor, and 10 EoTS marks, that’s pretty hard to pass up. Even for a PvEer like myself.

So I think the Mage will step into the BG’s a little this weekend, and a little more after that. I’ve got my eyes set on that neck.

Must have.
