Rogue macros for WoW Forever
Assassination · Combat · Subtlety
8 macros that make the Rogue easier to play, each with what it does. To use one, copy it, type /macro in the game's chat, click New, pick the question mark icon and a name, paste the text and drag the icon to your action bar. A macro holds up to 255 characters.
Spell names are the ones the English game client uses. Playing in German, French or Spanish? Switch this site to your client's language and the macros follow.
Reading the macros
#showtooltip- Shows the spell's icon, cooldown and tooltip on your action bar, as long as the macro has the question mark icon.
[@mouseover]- The unit under your mouse pointer, on the party or raid frames or in the world. The macro falls back to your target when there is none.
!- A "!" before a spell keeps a second press from switching it off.
/stopcasting- Cancels the spell you are casting, so the next line goes off at once.
Kick on mouseover
Kicks the enemy under your mouse, or your target when there is none, so you can interrupt a caster beside you without losing your target.
#showtooltip Kick /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] KickStealth, opener, then Sinister Strike
Out of combat the first press stealths you and the next one opens with Cheap Shot. In combat it is Sinister Strike. Swap in Ambush, Garrote, Backstab or Mutilate to suit your spec. The "!" keeps a second press from taking you out of stealth.
#showtooltip /cast [stealth] Cheap Shot; [nocombat] !Stealth; Sinister StrikeSap on mouseover
Saps the enemy under your mouse, or your target when there is none. Handy for sapping one member of a pack while keeping your kill target selected.
#showtooltip Sap /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] SapBlind on mouseover
Blinds the enemy under your mouse, or your target when there is none, so you can take a second attacker out of the fight without switching.
#showtooltip Blind /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] BlindVanish that stops attacking
Stops your auto attack as you vanish, so a stray swing does not pull you straight back out of stealth.
#showtooltip Vanish /stopattack /cast VanishCold Blood and Eviscerate
A sure critical Eviscerate: Cold Blood, an Assassination talent, and the finisher in one press. While Cold Blood is on cooldown it is a plain Eviscerate. In Forever Cold Blood also works on Sinister Strike, Backstab, Ambush and Mutilate.
#showtooltip Eviscerate /cast Cold Blood /cast EvisceratePremeditation and Cheap Shot
Adds Premeditation's two combo points and opens with Cheap Shot in one press, so you start the fight with four combo points. Cheap Shot still needs you in stealth.
#showtooltip Cheap Shot /cast Premeditation /cast Cheap ShotBlade Flurry with trinkets
Uses Blade Flurry and both trinkets in one press, so your cooldowns line up. Slot 13 is your top trinket and 14 the bottom one; a trinket with no use effect is simply skipped.
#showtooltip Blade Flurry /cast Blade Flurry /use 13 /use 14
