My Favorite Macro's (And Yours)

Ok a few from both my pally and rogue..



First is a handy sap macro.. good for when you restealth and opponent has pvp trinket down, it will sap and do a melee hit without breaking sap leaving you unstealthed but having done 100~ damage and then you restealth garrote etc. (need sub spec basically)



#showtooltip Sap

/console targetNearestDistance 10,000000

/targetenemy [noharm][dead]

/console targetNearestDistance 41.000000

/cast [harm,nodead] Sap

/startattack

/stopattack




This is a funny one, if you spam it once somebody interrupts your hearth (ie sap or maybe fear under certain circumstances) it will instantly trinket out of it. (13 is for top trinket spot, use 14 if it's on bottom, I guess /cast Every man for himself would probably work too.) not always useful but amusing.



/use Hearthstone

/use 13



uhh this is ok i guess, but when gouge gets dodged/parried/blocked it screws me over :/

/cast Gouge

/stopcasting

/use [target=player] Heavy Runecloth Bandage



yeh not home atm can't think of anything else cool



That macro is nerfed now, it can no longer autosap stealthed targets.

My favourite is:



/yell ZUG ZUG



It would be "/y 101 101", for Horde to say that to Alliance.
 
For my warrior I use:



#showtooltip Hamstring

/startattack

/cast Hamstring



#showtooltip Charge

/cast [stance:1] Charge; Battle Stance



#showtooltip Shield Bash

/cast [target=focus] Shield Bash



#showtooltip Throw

/cast [target=mouseover] Throw



I use the throw macro for totems =]



Been working on a few more.
 
/hug, when im about to die



/sigh, when a enemy gets healed then owns me



/bye, when I actually kite a bad rogue or hunter to death

And the largest macro I use...



/cast [nostance, target=targettargettarget, mod:shift, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] Faerie Fire; [stance:3, stance:1, target=targettargettarget, mod:shift, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [nostance, target=focustarget, mod:shift, mod:ctrl] Faerie Fire; [stance:1, target=focustarget, mod:shift, mod:ctrl] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3, target=focustarget, mod:shift, mod:ctrl] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [nostance, target=targettarget, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] Faerie Fire; [stance:1, target=targettarget, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3, target=targettarget, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [nostance, target=focus, mod:shift] Faerie Fire; [stance:1, target=focus, mod:shift] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3, target=focus, mod:shift] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [nostance, target=mouseover, mod:alt] Faerie Fire; [stance:1, target=mouseover, mod:alt] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3, target=mouseover, mod:alt] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [nostance] Faerie Fire; [stance:1] Faerie Fire (Feral)(); [stance:3] Faerie Fire (Feral)()



It exceeds the default macro size limit by almost four times, but I use the action bar addon Macaroon which allows for macros to be written with unlimited length



^:eek::eek::eek:



i has a question for you good sir... do you have all your abilitys on you rogue macrode?
 
Cool... i might try doing that. i want to get better on my rogue, so ima copy everything you do :D
 
Well, it's not really necessary, but I personally find it beneficial.



I can post what I use if you want

Yea that would be cool. i wana try it, i might find it benefical as well.



like before when i used to click click click and then my friend was like " try key-binding N00b" now i dont click anymore :cool:
 
I'll try and briefly describe how I use each macro



Stealth/Cheap Shot

#showtooltip Vanish

/cast [stealth, target=focus, mod:shift] Cheap Shot; [target=mouseover, mod:alt] Cheap Shot; Cheap Shot

/cast [nostealth] Stealth

/cast [nostealth, mod:alt, mod:ctrl] Every Man For Himself

/cast [modifier:ctrl] Vanish; Cheap Shot




I have this macro bound to E, it's what I stealth with normally. If I'm unstealthed, and not in combat, E will stealth me. E again while stealthed wil Cheap Shot my target, Shift+E will Cheap Shot my Focus, E+Alt will Cheap Shot my Mouseover, E+Ctrl will Vanish ~> Cheap Shot my target, E+Shift+Ctrl will Vanish ~> Cheap Shot my Focus target, E+Alt+Ctrl will Trinket ~> Vanish ~> Cheap Shot my target.



Sap


#showtooltip Sap

/cast [nostealth] Stealth

/cleartarget

/targetenemy

/cast [mod:ctrl] Vanish; [target=focus, mod:shift] Sap; [target=mouseover, mod:alt] Sap; Sap




Bound to R for me, this macro is a standard Sap macro that will also.. R+Shift = Sap Focus target, R+Alt = Sap Mouseover, R+Ctrl = Vanish ~> Sap, R+Ctrl+Shift = Vanish ~> Sap Focus, R+Alt+Shift = Vanish ~> Sap Mouseover



Unstealthing

#showtooltip Stealth

/cancelaura Stealth




There's a lot of situations where you want to exit stealth preemptively, this gets the job done ;]



Hemo

#showtooltip

/cast [target=focus, mod:shift] Hemorrhage; [mod:alt] Sinister Strike; Hemorrhage

/startattack




Bound to 2, 2 = Hemorrhage Target and enable Auto Attack, 2+Shift = Hemo Focus, 2+Alt = Sinister Strike Target



Ghostly Strike/Backstab

/cast [equipped:dagger, target=focus, mod:shift] Backstab; [mod:alt] Ghostly Strike; [equipped:dagger] Backstab

/cast [target=focus, mod:shift] Ghostly Strike; Ghostly Strike

/startattack [nomod]




Bound to 3, 3 = Backstabs target if Dagger is equipped and enables auto attack, 3+Shift = Backstabs Focus if Dagger is equipped, 3 = Ghostly Strikes target is Dagger is not equipped and enables auto attack, 3+Shift Ghostly Strikes Focus if Dagger is not equipped, 3+Alt Ghostly Strikes Target regardless of what is equipped



Stop/Start Attack

#showtooltip Attack

/stopattack [nomod]

/stopcasting [nomod]

/startattack [mod:shift]




You should be enabling and disabling your auto attack constantly, depending on the situation



Bound to 1, 1 = Stop Attack and stop Casting, 1+Shift = Start Attack



Basic template for the majority of my abilities

#showtooltip

/cast [target=focus, mod:shift] Ability; [target=mouseover, mod:alt] Ability; Ability




Gouge, Kick, Blind, Sap, Expose Armor, Garrote, Ambush, Kidney Shot, Eviscerate, Rupture, Slice and Dice, Expose Armor, etc are all macro'd this way, allowing me to cast on either my Target, my Focus Target, or my Mouseover Target depending on the modifiers used



Throw/Shoot macro

#show

/cast [mod:shift, target=focus, equipped:thrown] Throw; [mod:shift, target=focus] Shoot; [mod:alt, target=mouseover, equipped:thrown] Throw; [mod:alt, target=mouseover] Shoot; [equipped:thrown] Throw; Shoot

/stopattack [mod]



Bound to 6, 6 = Shoot Target if Bow/Gun is equipped, 6+Shift = Shoot Focus if Bow/Gun is equipped and disable auto attack(auto attack swings share a CD with your Throw/Shoot), 6+Alt = Shoot Mousoever if Bow/Gun is equipped and disable auto attack, 6 = Throw if Throwing weapon is equipped, 6+Shift = Throw Focus if Throwing weapon is equipped and disable auto attack, 6+Alt = Throw Mouseover if Throwing weapon is equipped and disable auto attack



Sprint/Evasion/Blind Template

#showtooltip Sprint

/cast [mod:alt] Every Man for Himself

/cast Sprint




Sprint/Evasion/Blind are bound to Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+S. This macro makes it so that Ctrl+Alt+Q, Ctrl+Alt+A and Ctrl+Alt+S = Trinket ~> Cast ability



Trinket Macro

#showtooltip

/stopcasting

/castsequence [mod:ctrl, mod:alt, mod:shift] Every Man For Himself; 13; Vanish

/cast [target=targettarget, mod:ctrl, mod:alt] 13;[target=mouseover,mod:alt] 13; [target=focus, mod:shift] 13; 13




Used for things like Tidal Charming. 13=Trinket Slot 1, and 14=Trinket Slot 2. I've got this one bound to T, T = Casts Trinket/Casts Trinket on Target if appliable, T+Shift = Casts Trinket on Focus, T+Alt = Casts Trinket on Mouseover, T+Alt+Ctrl = Casts Trinket on Target's Target, T+Alt+Ctrl+Shift = PvP Trinket ~> Cast Trinket on Target ~> Vanish





I try to fully utilize my Focus and Mouseover targets, which I see as an extension of your normal Target, allowing you three simultaneous targets, so it's necessary to switch your Focus around efficiently and often



Macros I use to acquire Focus Targets


TargetNearestTarget

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/TargetLastTarget

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Focus [target=mouseover, exists]



/Focus [target=target, exists]



/Assist Focus

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=mouseover, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=Party1, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=Party2, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=Party3, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=Party4, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Assist [target=Party5, exists]

/Focus

/TargetLastTarget



/Focus [target=arena1]



/Focus [target=arena2]



/Focus [target=arena3]



/Focus [target=arena4]



/Focus [target=arena5]




I use more macros than that but I think that's everything that I use that applies directly to a Rogue



I probably could have explained some things better, sorry if it's confusing ;]



And once more, It's not necessary to utilize macros to this extent to be effective on a Rogue, this setup just works for my playstyle. Let me know if you have any questions!
 
thanks alot. your right some of it is kind of confusing lol. well not i just gota wait till im able to try them out :D

what the hell does this behemoth do?

It just adds some flexibility to Faerie Fire, allowing me to cast on 6 different targets depending on the modifiers used, without having to actually change my current target



I have it bound to `



` = Faerie Fire my Target when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form

` + Shift = Faerie Fire my Focus Target when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form

` + Shift + Ctrl = Faerie Fire the Target of my Focus Target when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form

` + Alt = Faerie Fire my Mouseover when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form

` + Alt + Ctrl = Faerie Fire my Target of my Target when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form

` + Alt + Ctrl + Shift = Faerie Fire my Target of my Target of my Target when in Caster Form, Faerie Fire(Feral) when in Feral Form



I could have set it up with an additional two targets but I already use ` + Alt + Shift to Weapon Swap and ` + Ctrl to Target Self
 
I typically team up with a buddy or two and sometimes when we jump in a group of enemy players we have a hard time focus firing on the same opponents (even with vent). We want to have a macro that targets our buddy's target (we know the character names).



Anyone have a macro that targets a designated teammates target?



Edit: Went ahead and tried to write one myself. Looks like this works (grouped in city)... Haven't tried it in BG yet though:



/Assist [target=[PUT PLAYER NAME HERE], exists]

/Assist [target=Aquaine, exists]



Edit2: We tested & it works but do note that it dismounts you and I think puts you into combat if you are in range. Don't test it while riding to flags in AB...

Thats huge, and really complicated, im sure you could shorten that down. On a related note, how in gods name do you hit shift, ctrl, alt and ` all at the same time, you must have like 9 fingers.



On topic: My 80 rogue uses the most complex macros, using combinations of shift/alt/ctrl modifiers in conjunction with combat/nocombat/stealth/nostealth arguements.
