This is a guide for world of warcraft mage macros to control your pet better. Learn to use these while playing world of warcraft and you can learn to dominate any other class.

Pet Tricks: the Water Elemental and you.
Spammable Summon & Attack – This will summon your pet, and if pressed again, will set it to attack your target ones the lag on summoning finishes. Spamming is okay, and won’t cause your pet’s first waterbolt to cancel and restart.

/cast [nopet] Summon Water Elemental
/stopmacro [target=pettarget, exists]
/petattack

Summon & Freeze – Summons or activates the ranged frost nova power, Freeze.

/cast [nopet] Summon Water Elemental; Freeze

Dismiss (& Invisibility) – You can use this script to dismiss your pet without using the pet dropdown menu. This particular macro dismisses him and begins your Invisibility fade, so he won't force you into combat unintentionally.

/run PetAbandon()
/cast Invisibility

Modifier Nova – Here's a slick little macro to cast Frost Nova if your elemental isn't out, and freeze if it is. To force a Frost Nova cast with the elemental is available, hold any modifier key. The scripting on the second line makes sure that you don't get Freeze locked onto your cursor when your elemental has expired.

/cast [nopet] [pet, mod] Frost Nova(Rank 1); [pet, nomod] Freeze
/run if not GetPetTimeRemaining() then ClearCursor() end

On Demand Shatter – With your pet out, you can use this macro to start a frostbolt cast and bring up the targetting circle for Freeze. Drop the pet's nova on your target just before the cast goes off for a nice suddent Shatter.

/stopcasting
/cast [pet] Freeze
/cast Frostbolt

Just Die Already – The 2.4.2 patch introduced a bug which causes elementals to leave a body for about 10 seconds after despawning. This prevents re-summoning, which can be extremely inconvenient. To fix this problem, add these two lines to the bottom of any of your elemental macros. If you hit it while the thing is dead but no despawned, it will dismiss it - removing your pet bar and allowing you to summon again.

/stopmacro [target=pet, nodead]
/script PetDismiss()
