[rogue] Need help with weapon switching macros.

[Mephistopheles]

I am looking to make a macro that switches to a dagger when I try to use backstab, and back to a sword when I use anything else. What would those two macros look like? Thank you for the help!

well
/equip [Name of Dagger]
/cast backstab

/equip [Name of Sword]
/cast sinister strike/gouge/ambush etc

Honestly you just need backtab to switch to dagger and sinister strike to switch back to sword

well
/equip [Name of Dagger]
/cast backstab

/equip [Name of Sword]
/cast sinister strike/gouge/ambush etc

Would look something like this, but if you're constantly switching between dagger/sword remember that doing so will constantly reset your swing timer, effectively lowering your damage output.

Is it even worth using backstab then?

It really worth it

I use this occasionally. But I will only use it for Waylay applications on fc's other than druids. I use it no more than once or twice during the fight at hand just enough to slow them down for the offence to keep up while attacking.

Thank you for excellent tip on the application of backstab! I'm a newbie when it comes to rogues (and twinks in general) so any advice is welcome.
