Arena (1,2,3) Macros

Arena 1-2-3 macros will optimize your speed the most when you use abilities on enemy players. As long as you have the keybind space for these macros, it is recommended to include and use these macros in PvP content.

Having an Arena 1-2-3 macro for your Frost Shock is also crucial, as it will allow you to immediately root targets at ease.

Ancestral Swiftness Macros

Ancestral Swiftness in MoP works identical to our original Nature’s Swiftness ability back in Cataclysm. Down below we strongly recommend using our Hex and Ancestral Swiftness macro to immediately CC our target. The first one will instantly Hex your target, whereas the second macro will apply it to your focus target. This makes one of our most important control spells more fluid to press during crucial game-changing moments.
