Outlaw Rogue PvP Useful Macros — Midnight Season 1
Macros are crucial to be successful in PvP. They allow players to use abilities on enemies without having to target them. This helps increase overall damage/healing and general awareness in the arena. Here are a few macros that all Outlaw Rogues can benefit from.
This page is part of our Outlaw Rogue PvP Guide.
Generalities
Macros allow you to perform actions that are more complex than simply clicking your spell while targeting the enemy. They can be used for a wide variety of things, such as using several spells together with the press of one button, using abilities on specific targets without having to actually target them, and so on. As Rogue, it is essential to use a few macros in order to gain efficiency. The class has a lot of crowd control options available, and you don't want to constantly switch targets as it could lead to mistakes, makes you slower, and hurts your damage on your main target. Macros are the solution to this, as they allow you to use your CC abilities on someone you are not targeting without dropping your target!
The examples below are all with your Focus Target. You can replace focus with arena1, arena2, or arena3 to have an easier time landing CC on arena targets. It is not recommended to start from close to zero macros and attempt to create macros for everything instantly, as you may be overwhelmed. Instead, process slowly, starting only with the focus target and the most crucial spells, and create more macros as you get comfortable with the ones you have.
Shadowstep + Kick Focus Macro
Using this macro will use
Shadowstep on your focus enemy.
If you press this macro again, it will use
Kick on your focus target.
This makes it easier to interrupt an enemy while keeping your current target.
Focus Kick Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Kick
on that player while you are still focused on your target. You will use this
when your focus target is in melee as you do not need
Shadowstep.
Blind Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Blind
on that player while keeping your current target.
Kidney Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Kidney Shot
on that player while keeping your current target.
Sap Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Sap
on that player while keeping your current target.
Gouge Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Gouge
on that player while keeping your current target.
Cheap Shot Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Cheap Shot
on that player while keeping your current target.
Pistol Shot Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Pistol Shot
on that player while keeping your current target, in order to slow them.
Dismantle Focus Macro
Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use
Dismantle
on that player while keeping your current target.
Stealth Macro
This makes it so when you use
Stealth, it will not cancel if you
click it a second time.
Sap Stealthed Enemies Macro
This macro will drop your current target and try to target an enemy player
to use
Sap on. If you walk near a stealthed enemy, such as another
Rogue, and see them as you were spamming this macro, then you will Sap the enemy.
