Macros are an amusing and useful part of the PvP experience. As an RPer, macros
also allow you easy ways to put some flavor into your characters' fighting
style. The best way and easiest way to get macros is to check the class forum
for your particular class type on WoW.com. Macros are written in a language
very similar to C, so if you're familiar with that language you have one foot
in the door. Another useful website is:
http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft_API which completely which lists all
the commands and syntax useable in macros in the game.

RANDOM VOICE/EMOTE MACRO: (use by: any class/race)
/cast Charge(Rank 1)
/script s={"","roars at %t!","",""}; SendChatMessage(s[math.random(getn(s))],
"EMOTE")
/script s={"Strength and honor!","For Doomhammer!","","","","",""};
SendChatMessage(s[math.random(getn(s))], "SAY")

	For now, here's my favorite style of macro which says or emotes a custom
command randomly, but only occasionally, when issuing an attack. (This is to
prevent irritating repetitions when pressing a button more than once in a row.)
     This particular macro is for a low-level warrior, and will randomly either
EMOTE, SAY, or both.
     To personalize it for your own use, choose a command or attack that you'd
like to add a macro to. I recommend a command with a cooldown that you'll only
use once or twice in a battle, to keep it from becoming repetitive. Change the
/cast line to the particular spell or ability you want to use. (All abilities
are "casts".) Spell it exactly as it appears, including capitals and spaces.
Now, put a begin-parenthesis immediately after the ability's name and type Rank
(with R capitalized), a space, the rank number of the ability, and an
end-parenthesis.
     Now think of something clever for your character to say or do. Something
that you don't mind him or her over and over is generally good, because no
matter how seldom you program it to run it will be repeated at least a few
times a day.
     Remember you can change macros whenever you want. When I'm feeling
particularly creative, I'll change my macros every day.
     You can also use multiple toolbars, one with emote macros and one without,
so that you can shut your character by simply clicking up or down on the
toolbar, without having to replace every single macro with normal spells.
     Another thing to note is that the EMOTE function doesn't translate for the
Alliance (unless you are a mindcontrolling priest.) So you have to use a
different function to use non-custom emotes.

INSTANT CASTINGS: (use by: any class/race)
/cast Arcane Power
/script SpellStopCasting();
/cast Presence of Mind
/script SpellStopCasting();
/cast Frostbolt(Rank 6)

     This works with spells that have no global cooldown. I replace my normal
frostbolt with this macro. This works for anyone but you have to change the
particular spells/abilities.

CAMERA FLIP: (use by: Mages mostly, but anyone who wants to see behind their
derrier)
/script SpellStopCasting();
/cast Blink
/script FlipCameraYaw(180);

     This will flip the camera behind you as well as cast a spell, preferably
movement related. I set this macro to ALT-#, where the default key is where I
keep the non-camera-flipping version. Great for seeing who is behind you as an
FC in the BGs. You don't really need the spell line in there, sometimes it's
more useful just to yaw the camera. If you have smart camera on, rear view
becomes the default when you press it once. Pressing it again switches it back.
Try it, very useful.

DECURSIVE: (use by: Mages)
/target Aster
/cast Remove Lesser Curse
/script TargetLastEnemy();

     Invaluable little dude. Self casts a spell, then defaults to your enemy
target. Change the spell to use this command for bandages or other self-casts
and buffs.

SAFE COUNTERSPELL: (use by: Mages)
/script if UnitClass("target")=="Warrior" or UnitClass("target")=="Rogue"  then
CastSpellByName("Polymorph(Rank 2)") else CastSpellByName("Counterspell")  end;

     One of the few unique macros I've written myself. This one saves you the
embarassment of counterspelling warriors and rogues, and tries to sheep them
instead. If you're running around, it won't even sheep them and will give you a
message about spells while moving. Pretty useful, since it can be hard to tell
a warrior from a paladin.

REST: (use by: anyone)
/script UseContainerItem(0, 2);
/script UseContainerItem(0, 1);
    Just put water in slot 1 of your main bag and food in slot 2. Eats both at
once. Eliminates the need to waste to buttons on this, essentially.
