Sub rogue macro

[pilgrim]

I play a sub rogue and I was wondering if I can have a macro that will attempt to backstab, but if it cant like if im in front of my target it will use sinister strike instead. Basically a one button macro to increase my dps, as if rogues aren't easy enough.

give me a day or two, i have a macro that should work, gonna test it before i post and end up looking like an idiot <.< =)

This cannot be done in a macro.

This cannot be done in a macro.

I'm almost 100% sure it can because theres way more complex macros.

a macro can't check your position, but there might be a way around it.



Maybe a cast sequence macro that reset after less than one GCD. I'm not entirely sure if this would work however. Needs to be spammed.



/castsequence reset=1 backstab, sinister strike

Yeah I tried this but could not get it to work. Thanks anyway guys, but im now 90% sure it cannot be done, at least this mode of it.

Well you can try

/cast Backstab

/cast Sinister Strike

This should work, it should attept to cast backstab first and then if failed go straight to SS. not sure though. =p

edit: just check it doesn't work. :[

Second edit: Ok now I just tried /cast Sinister Strike /cast Backstab and that kinda worked, it does 1 SS and then a backstab if you're behind the target and just SS if you're infront of your target. =p

I've posted this a million times, but I'll post it once more for the new kids.



Backstab Macro

/equipset dagger

/cast backstab



Sinister Strike Macro

/equipset sword

/start attack

/cast sinister strike



Make one set called dagger, and another called sword. These macros will make sure you always have the right weapon equipped without thinking about it. You're going to have to learn when to sinister strike and when to backstab, that's just part of the game.



Sinister Striking with a dagger is a major-no no

blizz recently changed the way macros work to make macros like this no longer work.
