How to Mount & Activate Macro Animations
Macro animations are used in the World of Warcraft computer game to enhance the skill set of a player's character. Macros allow users to perform multiple actions, such as casting a spell, using a trinket or joining a battle with one click. Before a macro can be used in the game it needs to be mounted and activated during game play.
