• #showtooltip Raise Ally
• /cast [@mouseover,help][@target]Raise Ally

This macro casts Raise Ally on your mouseover target, if they are afriendly player. Otherwise, it casts Raise Ally on your current target.

• #showtooltip Mind Freeze
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Mind Freeze

This macro allows you to interrupt your focus target, if you have one, andif not to simply interrupt your current target.

These two macros help reduce the number of buttons you need to press in youropener! The first one also automatically uses the best Potion available to you!

• #showtooltip Summon Gargoyle
• /cast Summon Gargoyle
• /cast Dark Transformation
• /use Fleeting Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power
• /use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power
• /use Elemental Potion of Power

Here is your second one for when you cast Unholy Assault!It's a good idea to add in a /w priest name Pi Me here if you are gettingPI.

• #showtooltip Unholy Assault
• /cast Unholy Assault
• /cast Empower Rune Weapon
• /use 13

• #showtooltip Outbreak
• /cast [target=mouseover,exists] Outbreak; Outbreak

This macro will cast Outbreak on your mouseover target.

• /petdismiss [pet]

This macro allows you to dismiss your pet, which might be required fordungeons, especially if you also have All Will Serve talent.

• #showtooltip Death and Decay
• /cast [@cursor] Death and Decay

• #showtooltip Anti-magic Zone
• /cast [@cursor] Anti-magic Zone

These macros allow you to quickly plant your Death and Decay or Anti-Magic Zone on your cursor.

Controlling your pet is a great way of optimizing your DPS and gameplay, hereare some useful macros for that!

Move to pet to where you want.

• /petmoveto

Make it follow you so it does not get stuck somewhere!

• /petfollow

Resummoning the pet is sometimes the last resort to get it to you. This macrowill dismiss your pet if you have it and raise it if you do not. Be careful tospam this as it can accidentally dismiss your pet twice, leaving you waitingfor 30 seconds before you can summon it again.

• /script PetDismiss()
• /cast [nopet] Raise Dead

Controlling an Undead creature in dungeons is generally a major DPS downgradefor Unholy. However, it is sometimes needed for hard CC. The macro below automaticallydismisses the controlled pet, and then controls it straight afterwards:

• #showtooltip Control Undead
• /target pet
• /script PetDismiss()
• /cast Control Undead

Here, at Icy Veins, we useElvUIfor all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the defaultUser Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

We strongly recommend that you get this addon and our forum moderator Pandacho has writtena quick configuration guide for it.

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.

GTFO is a lightweightaddon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when youare making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod isalready alerting you of such things.

Parrot andMik's Scrolling Battle Text are highlycustomisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incomingheals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.

WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.

Recount is awell known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS(Healing Per Second). This add-on is not really lightweight, and provides avery high amount of information (and it can sometimes cause issues withperformance). It is generally a good option to use Recount for checking what youtake damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of yourabilities is similar to that of other players of your class.

An alternative to Recount (similar in function, so the choice is personalpreference) is Details!.

A lightweight alternative to Recount and Details! is Skada Damage Meter.

Omen Threat Meteris the most popular addon for displaying the current threat levels on yourtarget. We recommend you to use it to avoid taking aggro when the tank is still buildingup threat on an enemy.

TellMeWhen is anextremely useful addon with a user-friendly interface that allows you to tracka multitude of things, from internal cooldowns, to buffs, debuffs, andprocs.

ElvUI comes with decent raid frames. The only real reason for usingGrid andGridClickSetsis if you want to be able to mouseover dead raid or party members toresurrect them with Raise Ally. If you choose to go with Grid, then youmight want to also useGridStatusRaidDebuff.

Currently, we do not believe that you need any additional addons to play yourspecialisation to its full potential.
