I've always had a preference for using more vertical space on the sides instead of placing UI elements under my character. Here's a setup I use for that if you want to try it.

This UI is optimized to make sure that you're able to see important information quickly.

This is the sort of UI I personally like using with a vertical cooldown manager, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Recommended Frost Mage Macros
Macros are simple in-game tools that allow you to sequence spells together, create custom names and icons, cast different abilities depending on whether the target is friendly or hostile, define targeting conditions, and much more.
For more information on creating macros, including full lists of conditionals, modifiers, and other command customizations you can use, refer to our full Macros guide.
These can be created in the Macros window by simply copy and pasting the coded code into the creator. These will perform specific actions above the regular button presses that can alleviate some targeting issues or ability problems by automating part of the ability:
Focus Cast Macros
Frost has a number of spells you may want to target using the /Focus targetting option. You can replace the
sample text
in the macro below with spells such as
Counterspell
,
Spellsteal
,
Polymorph
, or
Remove Curse
depending on your preference:
#showtooltip
/cast Sample Text
Mouseover Macros
In some cases being able to apply DoTs or cast spells/heals on targets without having to switch targets is extremely useful. This is commonly used for
Counterspell
and
Remove Curse
, but has situational uses with other spells like
Slow Fall
as well. You can use the following macro to make the desired spell cast on the target you are currently mousing over instead of your active target. Replace the
sample text
with the desired spell name:
#showtooltip
/cast Sample Text
Cancelaura Macros
Sometimes, you will want to be able to easily remove a buff that is active from a dedicated button.
Cancels
Alter Time
so you do not return to your previous position or have your health reset. This is useful if the place you activated
Alter Time
is now unsafe or if you are now at higher health than when you activated it.
/cancelaura Alter Time
Cancels
Slow Fall
so that you can fall at a normal rate again. You can always recast it, so this is useful to get down to the ground more quickly.
/cancelaura Slow Fall
Other Frost Mage Macros
This will cast
Blizzard
at your cursor's location. This saves time because you don't need to click again to place it, but you will need to keep track of where your cursor is.
#showtooltip
/cast Blizzard
