The nameplate macro I have a tip, if you want 40yd range instead of 60yd change the "6e1" part to "4e1" and it will change to 40yd distance, lines up with a lot of range spells so you know when you can cast
I dont even play a mage and i find ur videos super useful! Thanks for the great macro ideas. Mages are really lucky to have a channel like this to learn from.
BRO - that cannibalize macro is legit. Galaxy brain for sure. Haven't caught your stream in a minute because I'm also "no lifing" Classic. but I did an entire M+ style breakdown of LBRS 55-60 in 10 hours played. Appreciate a r1 players feedback. May the RNG be in your favor homie!!!!

@@ImIlyaz Lol I love how you're just shy enough of intelligent that you got "cry" from what was very clearly roasting. And for the record I can guarantee I've played longer than you and I've always been PvP.

The /stopcasting & /cancelaura Ice Block should be added to these spells: Frost Nova, Ice Barrier, Blink, Counterspell, Cone of Cold. these are the things you want to cast when you jump out of your block. instead of pressing your frostbolt and then press the other spell. Remove the unnecessary from the equasion!
Ever think of using [mod:alt] function for rank 1s? Saves a spot on action bar. You can even bake it into your current frostbolt macro. Also, combine ur mouse over and cancelcast macros for poly/CS with this bad boy #showtooltip /cancelcast /cast [@mouseover, harm] Polymorph ; Polymorph Makes it so you can mouseover poly and cancelcast, but cancelcast poly current target if you don’t have a mouseover
You can put the mouseover macro in the same button as the regular spell... /cast [mod:alt,@mouseover] Counterspell ; Counterspell Or if you want the regular targeted cast to be on alt... /cast [mod:alt] Counterspell ; [@mouseover] Counterspell Just a button saver, but I find it useful.
I know I'm late to the party on this but hopefully I can help anyone else looking at macros for classic re-release. If you really wanted to save buttons you could use the alt bind for something completely different if you wrote the above like this. /cast [@mouseover,exists,harm,nodead] Counterspell; Counterspell Could even add further functionality to the above now that mod:alt is free e.g. /cast [mod:alt,@Focus] Counterspell; [@mouseover,exists,harm,nodead] Counterspell; Counterspell

For you amp/damp macro you can also do left/right click. I feel like it's a little easier and requires less to perform: ex: /cast [button:1] Find Herbs /cast [button:2] Sense Demons

@@zbluestreaks Yea, done a little digging. They disabled it a while back; using exponent nomenclature (6e1 instead of 60 for distance) was a workaround. Pretty annoying since default max nameplates are set at like three inches.
@@29031994290 You use that macro in order to cannibalize exactly before you go into stealth. Obviously when you are already in stealth and start using cannibalism you go out of stealth.

I don't play retail since a long time to be honest, just some months in a year basically and only twinked a bit, so I've no idea if that changed in the past few years O.o
way easier just to use the addon Dismounter. dismounts you automatically when you cast anything. literally anything once you click a button it dismounts you

Great vid! Is there a way that I can have a mouse over key bind +No mouse over in one? Now when i target something and try to polymorph I cant unless my mouse is on them at all times. Thanks!
Another question is i see not all your macros are on your action bars, how do you bind them if they arent on your action bars? If that makes sense. The specific one i'm referring to is /cancel manashield. Didnt see it on your action bar. Thanks man
imbazed22 so for example he has mana shield bound to control +5 and has a hidden bar with cancel mana shield with control 5? Is that how this works? 1st time you press control 5 it would cast mana shield and 2nd time it would cancel it? Just want to make sure I understand it properly
Hey @Xaryu ! Appreciate the work you put into your videos, great energy and super informative my man! Sidenote - My RBG crews in BFA S1/S2 faced you quite a few times (I'm Slayfrosty(my bfa GM mage)/Slaybells(DK gnome)/Legends (my warr)... Always enjoyed going up against ya. Hope to see you around!

How do you set it up to where you cast mana shield on your first shift + 5 and then cancel it with your 2nd shift + 5? I cannot get it to work to save the life of me. Been at it for hours lol.
if theres anyway you could find a way to set the nameplate distance back to normal that would be amazing! tons of us are having problems with using the macro after the hotfix and now its making it so the nameplates are only appearing when you right in front of an enemy. Much appreciated if you can find a fix!
Ive never understood mouseover macro... surely it's gona cause lots of unwanted casts? and how can you assign counter spell and polymorth to mouseover? so you're gona cast 1 or the other everytime? or both? I don't undestand..
Hey Zaryu love the content man keep it up!!! I tried to use you 60ft name plates and it worked to start but when I reloged it did not work. I clicked it again and did not fix the issue any recommendations?
We learned these macros over time, there are tons of good ones if you want to change something more to your liking No need for a PHD or heckerman career
I was using the nameplate one, was working properly for a day and a half now. Just now I logged on and its not working? I tried clicking the macro but its just back to standard view distance for the name plates, any help?
How do you play for multiple hours with your back so straight? - or is it just me? But it looks like you sit very straight with your back. I basically can't get myself to do it, for longer than 5 min and then it hurts. Is it something you've always been doing without noticing it, or is it on purpose? I would like to know! I want to sit like that, to not hurt the back as much.
You can't keep combo points with any kind of macro while using your skills anywhere else than your target. They aloud it at the start but it was quickly hotfixed.
You can use any non-cpts generating abilities on other targets via mouseover or targeting without loosing the cpts on your target No clue what the other guy is talking about
