I don't know about macros but http://ui.worldofwar.net is the best
add-on site IMO. It does have some class specific add-ons too so you
should be able to find some mage ones.

heh. I use /s since everyone is in range and white grabs attention more
than dark red.

Mine is:

/s Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being
repressed!

If the first one doesn't get anyone's attention, I spam the hell out of
it.

King Arthur: Old woman.

King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you
looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an
inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By
exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma
which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest

signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds
distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme
executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some
farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just
because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some
moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Dennis: Come see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm
being repressed.

Uh...if you're assisting MT instead of MA, you're going to have even
more trouble.

As a Druid, I've done MT, MA, OT & main healer in UBRS on down, so I'm
familiar with the roles & responsiblity of all three jobs.

As MT (main tank), I'm trying to keep as many mobs on me as possible,
so I'll switch targets and spam AoE effects frequently. This means that
if you focus your attacks on one of them, you're very likely to peel
them, forcing me to drop everything to pull that one back. However, I
may not be able to immediately tell that the MA didn't peel him and
you'll prolly get hit a few times before I get aggro back.

As MA (main assist), my job is to peel one mob at a time (usually the
most dangerous or the one closest to dying) from the MT and, along with
every one else, nuke it as soon as possible. Rogues & Tanks
(Warrior/Druid Bear/Paladins) do this job well since they can all take
1 vs 1 melee for at least a short time. If the MA is a rogue, it is
imperative that everyone be on the ball as they rely on their Dodge% to
survive and Dodge does not prevent crit melee strikes from landing.
(Frequency of taking crit melee strikes can only be lowered by cranking
up Defense skill.)

As OT (off tank), my job is to take mobs from the MT in order to
lighten the load, pull all mobs when the MT is about to melt, and catch
runners going after the casters & healers. Because Taunt & AoE Taunt
are required for this job (if it exists) a Warrior or Druid Bear should
fill this role.

As a healer, I should be using my mana primarily for healing. If things
are going well, I can toss around FF and DoTs as they are instant
casts. Rarely should I use non-healing spells with a casting time after
combat has begun because it can be difficult to switch gears in
mid-cast.

Now, in raid groups, someone should have designated the people to
assist in CT Raid, giving you a clickable window. You can use that in
lieu of a macro.

Noal

>From the POV of a priest, that may well be true. You have a spammable
group heal. From a Druid POV, that would be insanity. Our group heal is
channeled and on a 10 minute timer. Druids have a much easier time
keeping one person alive than several people taking damage at once..and
since Druids with Innervate (which is more than 95% of lvl 60 Druids)
have a reserve tank of mana, we can keep going long after the Priest
goes OOM.

Now, from the tanking aspect of my character, I'd rather have everyone
follow the MA and not the MT because the MT's primary job is to keep
the battle under control. When the party isn't focused as a unit, then
control is impossible and mobs that are critical to be eliminated ASAP
(i.e., the Conjurers in BRS) get out of control and wipes happen. The
MA has a very important job in that he assists the MT in controlling
the battle by giving the DPS toons something to focus on. Priests (and
many Druids) that never do anything but heal may never understand that
since their primary focus is health bars and not the flow of a battle.

Anyone that has done both the job of Main Healer and Main Tank
understands that they have very different perspectives.

My Macros didn't work, until I added a newline character after the
macros yesterday. Like
##
/wink %t

##

I also discovered some handy bars you can turn on in one of the in-game
menus (Interface I think) as I was running out of icons (l12 warlock). I
now have my two pets and spells that affect them (like channel), in a
separate bar above the usual action bar.

You can type '/macro' of course to create your macros. I haven't found
any use for them beyond emotes yet though.. But they seem very useful
for this when you quickly have to react to someone or something (/oom is
one of my macros for example, I guess a Mage needs this ever more!).

Hth,
Thomas

/assist [main tank]
If you don't have that on a hotkey you're going to have trouble in instance groups.

I looked it up on the internet and that sounds like a very useful macro
indeed. I will add it to my repertoire next time I enter Azeroth.

Now I just wait for my party to attack a certain mob, and when I am sure
which one they attacked I join in. Not much fun with a Mage because that
means the target is nearly dead anyhow by the time I cast my first DoT
spell.

Does this keep functioning if the main tank uses [Tab] to select enemy
targets?

It is also a lot like 'F' I guess. (but I haven't used that command yet)

I foun this untill now

Polymorph Macro
Description: Announces the gender of the target, as well as their level.

script if UnitSex("target") == 1 then SendChatMessage("Sheeping Female " ..
UnitLevel("target") .. " %t","say") else SendChatMessage("Sheeping Male " ..
UnitLevel("target") .. " %t", "say"); end
/cast Polymorph(Rank 4)

ClearTarget() ovo probat postelat

Counter-Spell
Description: It will cancel whichever spell is casting and cast
counter-spell. Works GREAT in PVP.

/script SpellStopCasting()
/script CastSpellByName("counterspell")



ASSIST MACRO
/assist %t
/script AttackTarget();



MACRO SCRIPT:

/target YourNameHere
/script UseContainerItem(Bag#, Item#);
/script TargetLastEnemy();

My macro example:

/target Sylver
/script UseContainerItem(0, 3);
/script TargetLastEnemy();

UseContainerItem is set for packslot, itemslot. 0 is the backback, they
count 0 to 4 RIGHT to LEFT. Slots inside the bag count 1 to X left to right
where X is the size of bag. 6 slot goes 1 to 6 for instance.
