Hi there,
Being a complete twit at macros I therefore decided to ask here.
I would like a macro that will activate Icy Veins whenever it is ready, and then cast a frost bolt. I just have absolutely no idea of how to do it.
Help would be much appreciated!

/castsequence icy veins, frostbolt
For the frostbolt you should be able to shift-click the highest rank from your spell book.
If you spam this button it will activate ivy veins whenever it is ready, otherwise it will shoot a frostbolt

Doesn't seem to work I'm afraid.
It does activate Icy Veins and then on second click allow me to cast one frost bolt. But after that, I get the message "Spell is not ready yet"

Just had this one sent to me. It works fine.
/cast icy veins
/cast Frostbolt
**Edit** I still get the "Spell is not ready yet" message everytime I cast, but the frostbolt is fired none the less.
Now to figure out if that error message can be removed.

That's my macro. Change Spell Names as you need.

Try this,
Figure out the CD on Icy Veins, then figure out how many Frost bolts you can cast before it Refreshes.
Then use a macro somewhat like this
/castsequence reset=4 icy veins, frost bolt, frost bolt, frost bolt,(icy veins CD done here) icy veins, frost bolt, frost bolt, frost bolt
Make sure your cast time is shorter than your reset so that it does not reset the macro to soon.
Now there is probably a fancy way to do it that I do not know yet as i am fairly new to macros but i think this will work.

A little note,
I am not using the "rank (13)" or rank whatever. It works just fine without it, as long as I want to use highest rank possible.

If that's the case use:
/cast fireball
if you don't specify a rank, it will use the highest.
I shift-clicked mine out of the spellbook.

That works, but will include the rank. Fine if you are level 70, but if you are leveling you have to change the macro each time you level a spell. I only use the rank when down ranking a spell like Frost Nova, where rank 1 is as effective as max rank.

Precisely, that was what I attempted to point out in my former post.

Just read about a change to stop the sound you get when the trinkets are on cooldown, haven't tried it yet but here it is.

The bold sections actually aren't needed at all. just use the clear command.

What about adding /stopcasting at the beginning of the macro to help chain casting? Using Quartz to show the current client/server lag prior to casting is also very helpful.

You no longer need /stopcasting to do that. And without it, you can play a little dangerously and try starting the next a little before Quartz tells you.
what does the line: "/use 13" mean?

It uses the item in equipment slot 13. Which is one of the two trinket slots.
