Forming an AP/Trinket/PoM/Frostbolt macro?Follow

Hey people! With the patch that came today, I want to try out a 33/0/28 build, although I lack space for my cooldowns. My usual setup is the following:

Ice Block = E
Cold Snap = Shift+E
Arcane Power = F
If I have such a build:
PoM = E

As you might see, I lack space for PoM and IV with this setup, so I was thinking of making a macro for AP/IV if it's possible/Trinket/PoM/Frostbolt. If anyone knows how to create such a macro, please help. This macro would although negate the chances of me being able to do a AP Trinket IV Frostbolt + PoM Frostbolt which I also might want, so if there's any way of making an AP/IV/Trinket macro instead please help me create such a macro :)

Thanks in advance!

I believe this is what you're looking for:

/stopcasting
#show Presence of Mind
/cast Arcane Power
/stopcasting
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Presence of Mind
/stopcasting
/cast Insert Trinket Here
--------------------------------------- End here for the AP/IV/Trinket version
/stopcasting
/cast Presence of Mind
/stopcasting
/cast Fireball


The reason I put Fireball instead of frostbolt is that even as a frost spec your fireball will hit harder than a frostbolt will {Rank 14 fire=717-913+84, frost=630-680) so it benefits more from the macro. If you want the slowing effect from frostbolt then hit them with a rank 1 right before or right after the macro.

You know, using fireball instead of frostbolt as a frost mage in a nuke macro never occured to be, bloody great idea and rate up for you.

Just tested it, wearing full pvp gear with +825 dmg, the frostbolt still takes the lead due to Ice shards.

Crit a rogue wearing 361 res for 3600 and change with bolt, and 3400 with ball. same gear setup, only change was the spell.

Don't need the stopcasting command anymore...I really wish sites would update their old macro pages with that.
