Shaman Elemental Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Elemental Shaman: the burst key derived from the current top parses, plus the macros this spec actually uses. Spell names follow the language you pick on this site, so they match your game client.

This Elemental Shaman page leads with a burst key built from three top WarcraftLogs openers. On a raid boss it opens with Stormkeeper and folds in Ascendance and Ancestral Swiftness, each pressed in at least two of the three openers; Bloodlust also appeared there but is left out on purpose, because lust is a raid call rather than a personal button. The Mythic+ AoE key opens with Voltaic Blaze and the Mythic+ single-target key with Chain Lightning, both adding Ancestral Swiftness. The raid and AoE keys include trinket /use lines; the single-target one does not, since no early trinket use showed up in that sample. Among the eight spec macros, Wind Shear and Purge go to your focus with a target fallback, both after /stopcasting so they land mid-cast. Wind Rush Totem has a self version and a cursor version, Earthquake drops at your cursor, and Flame Shock checks a hostile mouseover first so you can apply it to a second enemy without retargeting. For Farseer, one macro pairs Ancestral Swiftness with Lava Burst, and Skyfury and Lightning Shield share one key through a cast sequence. Copy, match this site's language to your client, and paste.

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Bloodlust / Time Warp is called by the raid leader, so it is deliberately left out.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 2 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
