Focus and Arena Macros

These macros follow the same idea as party macros and eliminate the need to manually change targets every time. They are very useful for CC and interrupts. While focus macros are easier to get used to and could be sufficient in most cases, arena macros are a lot more versatile as they allow you to interact with literally any opponent in the game at any point. The downside of making arena macros is the number of binds you will have to allocate. Not to mention, they are a lot more difficult to get used to. You could start by using focus macros for most of your abilities and arena macros for some of the most important CC, and expand the more you get used to it. As a Death Knight, the spells that benefit the most from such macros are Mind Freeze, Chains of Ice, Strangulate, Death Grip, and Dark Simulacrum.

Party Macros

With Spellwarden being a promising pick in our PvP talents, you’ll occasionally be throwing Anti-Magic Shell on your teammates to prevent incoming magic CC or whenever they are in danger. One way to streamline this process is with party 1 and party 2 macros. If you’re unfamiliar with these, “party 1” refers to the person at the top of your party frames, and “party 2” is the second person. The basic way of doing this using two macros for each ability as featured below.

Additional Tips

There are also a few other types of macros you could find useful. This first macro revolves around Death’s Advance, preventing you from accidentally using it again while it is currently active, as we receive two of these from Death’s Echo.

#showtooltip Death's Advance 
/castsequence reset=1 Death's Advance, nil

Our second macro featured down below utilizes a pet taunting tactic, and is crucial when you need to get off your Death Strikes on any enemy target for some bonus self-healing.

#showtooltip 
/use death strike
/cast [@arenapet1,exists,nodead][@arenapet2,exists,nodead][@arenapet3,exists,nodead] dark command
