TBC Classic Guide to Rogues' Best Macros

While this is not an exhaustive list of all possible / useful macros, we will be including many useful and popular macros to help make your life as a Rogue easier. Feel free to replace many of the macros and spells with spells of your liking.

• #showtooltip Sap
• /stopattack
• /cleartarget
• /targetenemyplayer [noexists,nocombat,nodead]
• /cast [exists,nocombat,nodead] Sap

This is a popular Sap macro that auto targets the nearest enemy not in combat and saps them. It is a spammable macro that you can use to Sap a target before you have a chance to even target them.

• /equipslot 17 [WeaponNameHere]

This is a great macro for swapping Off-Hand weapons. It is recommended to have multiple hotkeys to swap to multiple different Off-Hands for Poisons. Use "/equipslot 16" to make similar macros for your Main Hand weapon.

• #showtooltip Shiv
• /equipslot [nomodifier] 17 [Main Off-Hand]
• /equipslot [modifier:alt] 17 [Off-Hand 2]
• /equipslot [modifier:shift] 17 [Off-Hand 3]
• /equipslot [modifier:ctrl] 17 [Off-Hand 4]
• /cast Shiv
• /startattack

Alternatively, if you prefer all-in-one macros with modifiers, this is also another option.

• #showtooltip Kick
• /cast [target=focus] Kick

You can simply replace Kick with other abilities like Blind, Gouge, Shiv, or Sap. You can also make combined macros like the next two.

• /cast [target=focus] Shadowstep
• /cast [target=focus] Kick

• /cast Vanish
• /cast [target=focus] Cheap Shot

• #showtooltip Vanish
• /cast Vanish
• /startattack

• /cast Cloak of Shadows
• /cast Vanish

• #showtooltip Sinister Strike
• /cast Sinister Strike
• /startattack

• #showtooltip Blade Flurry
• /cast [Racial Here]
• /cast Blade Flurry
• /use Haste Potion
• /use [Trinket Name]

Generally, most trinkets and racials will line up together with 2-minute cooldowns (Blood Fury, Bloodlust Brooch, etc). So, this is a great macro to use that can activate all your 2-minute abilities together. Because Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry are both on the GCD, you will have to activate Adrenaline Rush separately.

Macros are very important in making your character play as smoothly as possible, but so are addons, and for this reason we recommend that you also read our Rogue Addons page.
