Macros
Macros are meant for the more advanced users, since you’d need to use “*unit” (short for the UnitID of the enemy) for a macro to work.
To cast Polymorph on the enemy and print out the name of the enemy in the party chat you would have to do:
- /cast [target=*unit] Polymorph
- /script SendChatMessage(UnitName(“*unit”), “PARTY”)

Will you ever have Gladius function in a non-arena environment?
- No, Gladius is meant for arenas only and it’ll stay that way.

- Yes, simply lock the Gladius frame.
