When re-creating a macro in Useful macros please

follow the example format posted below (to get the frame around your macro, add a space before you start it)
describe what it does
note the version of WoW in which you tested it

Polymorph Focus Macro[]

A modified version of the old Polymorph Mouseover/Focus macro.

This polymorph macro will do the following:

Set your focus on your mouseover target if you don't have a focus already OR if your current focus is friendly
Set your focus on what you have targeted if you don't have a mouseover target and if you don't have a focus already OR if your current focus is friendly
Polymorph the Focus target.

/clearfocus [@focus,noharm][@focus,dead]
/focus [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@focus,noharm][@focus,dead]
/cast [@focus,harm] Polymorph

You can also use this macro without the mouseover feature; just delete the [@mouseover,harm] bracket from the macro and you're set.

This macro will also work for other crowd control spells like Fear, Hex, etc.

Tested in 5.3.0 (should still work in 6.0.2)

Buffing[]

Cast and Remove Ice Block[]

#showtooltip Ice block
/stopcasting
/cast Ice block
/cancelaura Ice block

Validated: 6.0.2
Use: Press to cast [Ice Block], and press again to remove it.

Start buffs, conjure rations, and eat/drink in one click[]

#showtooltip Conjured Mana Fritter
/castsequence [btn:1] reset=10 Arcane Brilliance,Conjure Refreshment
/use [btn:2]Conjured Mana Fritter

This macro is good for start-up as it allows initial buffs, and the conjuring of refreshment; or it will consume refreshment with a single click. If you left-click on it, or click on it with a keyboard hotkey, it goes through a sequence which will give the intellect buff, followed by conjure refreshment. By putting the buffs first, when they run out and you are not out of food, you can simply left click on it twice to renew your buffs.

If you right click on it, you will sit, eat, and drink, in one click. By setting #showtooltip to the food - change it to whichever food you conjure - you will see a big red ? when you first log on, to remind you that you need to run it, and, once you have run it, you will see the number of foods you have in stock.

Arcane Macros[]

Standard Rotation[]

This will cast Arcane Blast 4 times to build up Arcane Charges, then cast Arcane Barrage. When Arcane Missiles procs hold shift to cast Arcane Missiles after the fourth Arcane Blast.

#show Arcane Blast
/cast [mod:shift, nochanneling] Arcane Missiles;
/castsequence [nochanneling] reset=10/nocombat Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Blast, Arcane Barrage

High Damage Blizzard[]

#show Blizzard
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Blizzard

Decurse[]

This is particularly good if you keybind your mousewheel to it.

#show Remove Curse
/cast [target=mouseover,noflying,nomounted,nodead,help] Remove Curse; [target=mouseover,noflying,nomounted,nodead,harm] Counterspell; [flying,combat] Slow Fall

Fire Macros[]

Living Bomb, Fireball[]

/castsequence reset=12/target/combat Living Bomb, Fireball, Fireball, Fireball, Fireball

Cast Living Bomb on Mouseover Target[]

#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Living Bomb

Use: If there's a mouseover target that isn't friendly or dead, this macro will pop a Living Bomb on it. If not, it works like normal Living Bomb. Useful for spamming Living Bomb onto adds and around groups!
Works in 6.0.2

Frost Macros[]

Frostbolt and Pet Attack[]

You can replace frostbolt with any other spell you use alot and it makes the water elemental attack faster.

#showtooltip Frostbolt
/cast Frostbolt
/petattack

AoE Grinding[]

May not the be choice for higher levels, but for AoE leveling grinding as frost its good.

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=10 Frost Nova, Ice Barrier, Icy Veins, Blizzard, Blink, Cone of Cold
