Recommended Assassination Rogue Macros
Macros are simple in-game tools that allow you to sequence spells together, create custom names and icons, cast different abilities depending on whether the target is friendly or hostile, define targeting conditions, and much more.
For more information on creating macros, including full lists of conditionals, modifiers, and other command customizations you can use, refer to our full Macros guide.
Opener Macros
The Assassination opener contains a few off-gcd buttons to press, but can be lined up with cooldowns, making the use of macros a good way of simplifying it. Most trinkets have a 20ish second buff duration, meaning that they fit in nicely with
Deathmark
in the opener:
Use this for Trinket slot 1:
/use Deathmark
/use 13
Or this for Trinket slot 2:
/use Deathmark
/use 14
This logic can also be applied to potions:
#showtooltip Deathmark
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Deathmark
Distract and Kidney Shot
Another useful macro is one that automatically casts a spell at the position of your mouse cursor instantly, without having to re-click. An ability that might be useful with such a macro is
Distract
.
#showtooltip Distract
/cast Distract
Casting on your cursor isn't always what you want to do. Here is a macro that would cast something on mouse-over instead. In this example, we're using
Kidney Shot
. If we do not have a mouseover, it will still cast on your current target:
#showtooltip Kidney Shot
/cast
Kick
Kick
can be useful in many Aoe situations, but difficult to land on the correct target. Setting up a Focus macro for your interrupt is a great way to make sure you're interrupting the right cast on the right target.
This macro will prioritize kicking your focus, and if you do not have one, will kick your current target instead. This can be extended to other utilities as well, including
Kidney Shot
to stop a caster as an example:
#showtooltip
/cast
