This is the go-to thread to fulfill all of your macro needs. Feel free to post your own macros as well, and please dont hesitate to ask for any additional help regarding new ones or finding old ones.

IX. Rogue Stances
[stance:0] - Unstealthed [stance:1] - Stealth [stance:2] - Vanish [stance:3] - Shadow Dance Useful for making advanced macros that use many different abilities depending on what stance youre currently in. X. Armor Slots 1 = Head 2 = Neck 3 = Shoulder 4 = Shirt 5 = Chest 6 = Belt 7 = Legs 8 = Feet 9 = Wrist 10 = Gloves 11 = Finger 1 12 = Finger 2 13 = Trinket 1 14 = Trinket 2 15 = Back 16 = Main Hand 17 = Off Hand 18 = Thrown/Ranged Comes in handy for making /use #, /equipslot # and /unequipslot # macros. XI. Modifiers [mod:shift] [mod:ctrl] [mod:alt] Modifiers are used to assign multiple spells to one button. Simply combine a modifier to the desired spell. Just hold down the modifier and hit the button like normal to activate it. XII. Mouseover Macros /cast [@mouseover] Spell These macros are extremely useful for casting spells on allies/enemies that you are not currently targeting. All you need to do is add some conditions depending on whether your mouseover is friend or foe such as [@mouseover, exists, help/harm, dead/nodead]. XIII. Commands, Conditionals and Parameters http://wow300.web44.net/?condition And no, you cannot make a macro that prioritizes a certain spell over another when in front of/behind your target or based on their HP. Quit being lazy. XIV. Alternative Focus Macros #showtooltip /cast Spell /cast [@focus] Spell These types of macros seem to work really well (although not as effective). All you need to do is face the target you want to use the spell on (current target/focus). I havent seen these types of focus macros listed before, but they work, and I thought it would be worth sharing. It can get a little buggy, however, when your current target and focus are standing relatively close to one another, which is why they are not as effective as regular focus macros. Thanks for your time! These are just the macros that I use, theyre convenient for me, and below is my setup, which might explain why I use certain ones. I hope that you all learned something from reading this, because all Im trying to do is help.

I have a macro question maybe someone could help me with.
I'd like to make a macro that casts shadowdance but if i press it again while the shadowdance buff is still active it will cancel the buff. Can anyone elaborate? I'd appreciate the help. |

Thanks, Burial. You've provided a few tidbits about macros that i have not been able to find elsewhere. I haven't been able to find a very complete tutorial on macros.
I have a question for you. I wants to make a macro that does the following. The button, when pressed activates recuperate. When shift is pressed, uses a bandage on myself without de-selecting my current target. Is that possible? When i first set out to make this macro, it seemed relatively easy, but I must have mixed up the syntax. Could you help me out with that one? |

Hey Burial, if you've got the chutspa for it... A few rogues have tried to start macro threads in the past few weeks but they've fizzled out, and I'm essentially macro-illiterate so it's difficult for me to gauge whether any offer especially more or better goodies than any of the others. But if you wanted to pick through these and add to your thread those you feel stand out as unique or helpful compliments to your own, it could help give folks a single place they can turn to for all their rogueish macro needs.

Funny you should say that because Ive been to all of those links lol, and one of them was my old thread, but I appreciate the gesture. :) However, it was nice of you to provide the links for others to take a gander at as Im sure there are a few macros I dont have listed that others might find useful. |
|

One them was your old...? Oh, for the love of -- this is what I get for not having clicked on any of those links in days. I've embarrassed myself. Plus I peed my pants. So now I have to go do the laundry.
So I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you already feel this thread is the most comprehensive of the lot, eh? :) Any thoughts on the bigass WoWWiki list? |

Lmao. Yeah, I keep seeing these random macro threads and then the next thing I see is a thread asking for macro help... Thats why Im trying my best to get this stickied. :P
The WoWWiki list is pretty compact and it looks a lot like the link I posted at the top. I havent completely looked through both of them yet, Im still in the process of searching the forums for macros that arent listed so I can add them and credit the poster. |
