Focus Macros
Some of the most important macros in PvP are focus cast macros. Essentially, they allow you to cast abilities on other units without having to manually change your target. This makes your gameplay a lot more fluid and reactive. For this reason, you should have such macros for important spells like Wind Shear, Hex, and Purge.
#showtooltip /cast [@focus] Wind Shear
#showtooltip /cast [@focus] Hex
#showtooltip /cast [@focus] Purge
Arena Macros
Arena macros do essentially the same thing. 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. Essentially, you will have 3 binds for each ability. 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.
#showtooltip /cast [@arena1] Wind Shear
#showtooltip /cast [@arena2] Wind Shear
#showtooltip /cast [@arena3] Wind Shear
Party Macros
There are a few cases in which you might want Party12 or player macros to use key abilities. As a Elemental Shaman, you could do this with Cleanse Spirit in order to dispel your teammates as quickly as possible or even with Earth Shield to quickly re-apply the buff. You could even do this for Healing Surge if you have the keybinding space.
#showtooltip /cast [@party1] Cleanse Spirit
#showtooltip /cast [@party2] Cleanse Spirit
#showtooltip /cast [@PLAYERNAME] Earth Shield
Cursor Macros
This macro will allow you to cast the ability at the location of your cursor. This works with any totem and saves you a mouse click from needing to manually place the totem on the ground, we’ve included one example for Static Field Totem.
#showtooltip /cast [@cursor] Static Field Totem
Other Macros
There are some miscellaneous macros you might want for better pet control.
#showtooltip /petattack /petassist /spell Gale Force /spell Pulverize /spell Immolate /spell Meteor /spell Eye of the Storm
#showtooltip Harden Skin /spell Harden Skin
#showtooltip /spell Earth Elemental /petmoveto
