This is a list of various macros I have saved over time. Some of the came from the previous thread dedicated to mage macros but that has long been deleted, so I decided to repost some of them.

Feel free to post any macros/good addons you may have. I'll be sure to add them :) If you have any request for any macros, make a post and I'll get back to you on it depending on how difficult it is to make :p

Note: Please DELETE your requests after I have taken care of them to save room, Thanks :).
