A macro is a piece of code that is used to extend the basic functionality of World of Warcraft. Some spells require multiple clicks to cast and are inefficient in a fast paced game environment like PVP. This is where macros make the gaming experience better as well as improve the skills of the gamers utilizing them. Many spells can be grouped together if they do not trigger the global cooldown. You can also tell macros to cast different spells based on if you have a modifier key, like shift, pressed.

Here is a list of frequently asked questions that might help you if you want to write your own macros:

Are Wow macros against the terms of use?

What spells can be combined into one button press with a macro?

Can I make a macro to do more than one thing?
Absolutely! You can thread together many spells into the same macro or you can use /castsequence to cast a sequence of spells.
