These Elemental Shaman PvE macros are designed for WoW WotLK 3.3.5a and focus on Flame Shock and Lava Burst targeting, channel protection, burst cooldowns and fast utility. They make Fire Elemental timing, Wind Shear, Purge, Hex and player-placed totems easier to use without adding unnecessary target switching.
Elemental macros can protect casts and reduce keybind pressure, but they do not automate the shock cooldown, proc timing or encounter decisions. Use the exact spell names from your client, keep valid focus and mouseover targets when required, and test every button on a target dummy before using it in a raid.

How to use Elemental Shaman macros
Open the in-game Macros window, create a macro and paste the code exactly as shown. Place it on an action bar and bind it to a reachable key. Mouseover and focus macros let you interrupt, purge or control a secondary target while keeping the main target selected.
The Elemental Mastery and Fire Elemental buttons combine cooldowns for planned burst windows. The Fire Elemental snapshot macro should be used when trinkets, gloves and Blood Fury are available and the summoned elemental can remain active for the intended duration.
Elemental Shaman PvE macro tips
Flame Shock enables Lava Burst's guaranteed critical interaction in WotLK, so avoid refreshing it carelessly and keep the shared shock cooldown in mind when using the Flame Shock or Earth Shock modifier macro. The no-channeling versions of Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning help prevent accidental restarts while a cast is already underway.
Wind Shear, Purge and Hex are easier to use through focus or mouseover targeting, especially when the boss remains your current target. Thunderstorm can restore mana or create space, but its knockback should be used with awareness of the encounter and nearby enemies.
Grounding, Tremor, Earthbind and Magma Totems cover different defensive, control and area-damage situations. Player-targeted versions are fast, while Totemic Recall can recover mana when the existing totems are no longer needed. Ghost Wolf and Bloodlust or Heroism should remain easy to reach for movement and raid burst windows.
Compatibility and troubleshooting
These macros target the WoW WotLK 3.3.5a macro system. Private-server clients can differ in focus behavior, totem placement and protected actions. If a macro fails, test the spell alone, check the target relationship and range, then reload the UI after editing.
Macros cannot decide when to spend Elemental Mastery, Fire Elemental, Bloodlust or a shock cooldown. Their purpose is to reduce targeting friction so the Elemental Shaman can cast more consistently while retaining control over procs, movement, mana and encounter timing.
