Assassination Rogue PvP Useful Macros — The War Within (11.0.5)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Put an enemy on focus, and this macro will use Blind on that player while keeping your current target.
