FAQ

Why should I use a burst macro as a Frost Mage?

A burst macro helps activate multiple cooldowns simultaneously, ensuring all damage amplifiers are used together for maximum damage output. This is vital during critical phases of a fight or during PvP engagements.

How does the mouseover polymorph macro work?

The mouseover macro allows you to cast Polymorph on any enemy unit your cursor is hovering over without changing your current target. If no mouseover target is present, it will cast on your current selected target, making crowd control more fluid.

What is the benefit of a castsequence macro for Ice Block?

The castsequence macro for Ice Block allows you to activate Ice Block with one press and then cancel it quickly with a second press of the same key. This prevents you from being locked down for the full duration if you only need a brief immunity.
