Yet another question for my fellow wow users..lol

Yes, i'm asking for help again; in the only forums I know where to go. Mostly cuz I kinda come to trust this little nook of the interwebs; so hopefully i dont come across as too "ugh" by posting here

Anywho, I've been gettin pretty good at raiding on my Mage. Actually getting farther into ICC on him, and becoming vastly knowledgeable in awareness and abilities I have. (It's good to know some of the good mages on my server lol).

As a healer, I've been able to come to know when I can use my shield, ice block, invis etc to avoid dmg or aid in a fight; mostly cuz when I heal them I kinda do the whole "roll eyes why didnt they just do this...ugh".

One of the things I'm kinda not liking is digging through a buff list (25man its kinda big lol) to find IceBlock or Invis to remove it; cuz I only need the first few seconds of them; not the full 10-12s.

I'm curious if anyone out their knows a nice little mod that lets me remove those easier. I've dug around mage addons and buff addons and I can't quite get what I want; since I really only need to remove the effect of a couple abilities

Any help would be grand!

Thanks guys

I would think you could put a cancel macro on the action bar.

Something like

/cancelaura Ice Block

(or whatever the exact name of the spell is that you want to cancel)

EDIT: You can, also, stack several cancels if you wanted to cancel any one of a group of spells...

/cancelaura Ice Block
/cancelaura Invisibility
/cancelaura whatever
...

Here's a very good resource for you:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Useful_macros_for_mages


And just found this macro from here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...66694963&sid=1


I always used this:

#showtooltip Ice Block
/stopcasting
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Ice Block

If you spam it, it throws up Ice Block regardless of what you're currently doing, and drops Ice Block if you spam it.

I'm not one of those mages who sits in Ice Block all day, as I use it to wipe debuffs or dodge an incoming big nuke, so throwing it up and instantly dropping it was incredible for me.
