There have been a few macros posted to accomplish the EM+FS+LvB kill button in arena. Some using focus target, some not. After tinkering this week here it is. The perfect one.
#showtooltip Elemental Mastery
/assist <***>
/use 13
/cast elemental mastery
/castsequence [target=focus, exists, nodead][] reset=8 flame shock, lava burst, chain lightning
line 1: (keep track of important cooldown)
line 2:(*** = insert your assist system)
line 3: (I use platinum disks of sorcery (best clickable SP trinket for arena) instead of pyro rocket, if you use engineering pyro rockets, just replace this line with /use rockets)
line 4: this is the great part. Its both a target AND focus based macro, if your focus is set to someone, and they're alive... it will fire on the focus. If the focus is dead, OR hasn't been assigned yet (no focus), it will default to and fire on your current target. Awesome for focus gibbing your first target in arena, then using it again as a normal FS+LvB combo against new targets... without having to re-assign focus). Also works as my instant gib in WG/Bgs, where I never stop to assign focii.
UPDATE: Some new information on assigning focus, and casting hex.
Assigning a focus kill target: I still use this same system. In arena I found that "select enemy + clones assist + assign focus" to be very slow and somewhat revealing. I use NUM1 through NUM5 on my keyboard numpad to assign kill targets will Gladius(has to be running on all toons of course). NUM1 = keybound to "right click gladius enemy 1", NUM2 = enemy 2, etc. I also reserved "-" on the numpad for /clearfocus(in case my assigned focus decides to sit back while all the other potential targets run by - sometimes I like not assigning and just selecting my kill target too). This system is super quick and can be changed on the fly.
How to use Hex in arena without using focus: When blizzard added the native "arena frames" to the game, they also added the ability to macro arena enemies directly... which is frickin awesome on so many levels. I now have a single button that will cast split Hex on 4 potential enemies with no focus, and no targeting.
Shaman 1 Macro: /cast [target=arena1] hex
Shaman 2 Macro: /cast [target=arena2] hex
Shaman 3 Macro: /cast [target=arena3] hex
Shaman 4 Macro: /cast [target=arena4] hex
ANOTHER UPDATE: Wind Shear tricks: Automatic SPLIT wind shear macro.
Amazing way to make use of wind shear in 5v5... or any boxed arena.
Basically I've placed a wind shear at the beginning of all my opener spells, which are Flameshock, LB, and CL (spells cast first). Except theres a twist, each shamans wind shear targets a different arena enemy... causing 4 people to be stealth interrupted every 6 seconds. It's not a game breaker, but its great because it requires NO thought or attention by the boxer.
Example:
Shaman 1:
/cast [target=arena1,exists,nodead,harm] wind shear
/cast lightning bolt
Shaman 2:
/cast [target=arena2,exists,nodead,harm] wind shear
<assist system here>
/cast lightning bolt
etc etc...
Enjoy!
