Elemental Shaman: Macros

Keys for Elemental, ready to paste into the game's macro window: the spec's own, then the ones every Shaman shares.

Type /macro in chat to open the macro window, make a new macro, and paste the body in. #showtooltip gives the button the spell's icon. A macro holds 255 characters. Each says whether it has been tested in WoW Forever; most have not yet.

A good first macro

#showtooltip [mod:ctrl] Flame Shock; Lava Burst
/cast [mod:ctrl] Flame Shock; Lava Burst

Press Ctrl to put on Flame Shock, then press normally for Lava Burst, which hits harder on a target with the shock. Neither key stalls the other when Lava Burst is on cooldown. Untested

#showtooltip [mod:shift] Chain Lightning; Lightning Bolt
/cast [mod:shift] Chain Lightning; Lightning Bolt

Your filler bolt, with Shift for Chain Lightning when more than one enemy is close. Chain Lightning has a 6 second cooldown, so a Shift press on cooldown does nothing. Untested

Shift drops Searing Totem and Ctrl drops Magma Totem; a plain press fires Fire Nova. Fire Nova needs a fire totem standing, so drop one first. Untested
