Interface
Here’s what my UI looks like currently.
Take care of your UI. If you set it up properly, it will make your time in the game a lot easier.
Remember, what works for someone else might not work for you, but I highly recommend the following addons.
- Weakauras - The most powerful addon in the game (in the right hands it can do pretty much anything you would ever want)
- Bigwigs / LittleWigs or Deadly Boss Mod - Timers for dungeons and raids
- Details - It has more uses than just damage, explore it, and you will find a lot of useful information.
Macros
Combustion Macro
This Combustion macro uses your troll (or Orc racial), your on-use trinket on slot 14 and Combustion at the same time.
#showtooltip Combustion
/cast Berserking (or Blood Fury)
/use 14
/cast Combustion
Remove Curse Macro
Uses Remove Curse at your cursor location.
#showtooltip Remove Curse
/cast [@cursor] Remove Curse
Alter Time Macro
Removes the Alter Time buff in case you regret using it.
#showtooltip Alter Time
/cancelaura Alter Time
Scorch Focus Macro
Casts scorch at your current focus target and if you do not have one, casts at your target instead. This is useful to snipe low health mobs with scorch while maintaining your dps on your main target.
#showtooltip Scorch
/cast [target=focus,exists,harm,nodead][target=target,exists,harm,nodead] Scorch; Scorch
Flamestrike Cursor Macro
This casts flamestrike at your cursor position rather than first giving you a targeting circle that you have to click to cast
#showtooltip Flamestrike
/cast [@cursor] Flamestrike
Interrupt Mouseover Macro
This allows your interrupt to be cast on a mouseover target and defaults to your target if you do not have a mouseover at the time
#showtooltip Counterspell
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=target,exists] Counterspell; Counterspell
Spellsteal Mouseover or Focus Macro
This allows spellsteal to be cast on mouseover target same as interrupt with the additional step of defaulting to a focus target if a mouseover is not present. Useful for stealing buffs in M+
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,exists][target=focus,exists][target=target,exists] Spellsteal; Spellsteal
Weakauras
Here is the full suite of mage WA’s I use for all 3 specs in one package. https://wago.io/JoI65IP7h
To be clear, most of this WA work is not mine. I have taken many WA’s I like from others and slightly altered or combined them to fit my needs and preferences better. These may not be to your liking. I would definitely go to https://wago.io/dragonflight-weakauras and see if there’s any other mage WA’s that you like better. It’s all about what works best for you!
