Ice Block Cancel-aura Macro

This macro allows you to cancel your Ice Block early after topped by your Healer in order to maintain uptime on your rotation.

#showtooltip
/cast Ice Block

Damage Macro

To optimize your burst windows, it is important to pair the spell, Icy Veins, with your damage trinket to maximize the amount of damage you can deal during a specific window.

#showtooltip
/cast Icy Veins 
/use Vicious Gladiator's Badge of Dominance

Water Elemental Macros

These Water Elemental macros are essential to optimize Frost Mage pet maintenance and pet abilities. The first macro is very useful, as this saves you a key-bind. If you haven’t used Water Elemental, the macro will summon your Water Elemental pet when pressed. If it has been summoned, the same key-bind is replaced with Freeze. The second macro allows you to direct what target you want your Water Elemental to attack when casting Frostbolt.

Summon: Water Elemental & Freeze
