Roguey Macros Courtesy of Gower!

Here are a few macros, courtesy of Gower, that he has very usefully and politely posted up on the guild website. I hope he won't mind me using them here for others to see, and i would like to thank him for them!

Gower:

Just a list of the macros that I use to make my life a little bit easier - there aren't that many and most of then are very situational, but make of them what you will. Most of these can be found on the various macro sites.

Sinister Strike
This has replaced the normal SS button for me, it casts SS if I have the energy, if not it auto attack's anyway, and then Adrenaline Rush every time it's up. You can also list trinkets in here so they trigger every time they're available, they need a 'On Use:' action for this though. This will spam a lot of error messages though, usually saying 'item not ready' when the trinkets/AR are still on cooldown - i use CutUp to hide a lot of this unnecessary rogueish crud

#show Sinister Strike
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike
/cast Adrenaline Rush
/use 13 - optional - top trinket
/use 14 - optional - bottom trinket

This might get rid of the errors, but it never seems to work for me

#show Sinister Strike
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike
/cast Adrenaline Rush
/use 13 - optional
/use 14 - optional
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()


Tricks of the Trade
Just sets a Focus [by right clicking when a friendly character is targetted] and then casts TotT on them. Usually, Focus either the tank or 'daisy chain' other rogues for the 15% damage boost

#show Tricks of the Trade
/focus [button:2, help]
/cast [target=focus,help] Tricks of the Trade


Aggro Dump
This I use to drop aggro and then, when I'm at the bottom of the list, go ballistic for a few seconds with no chance of over aggroing again

/cast Vanish
/cast Adrenaline Rush


Poison Application Macros
Just allows me to left click to apply the named poison to the MH and right click to apply it to my OH - swap Deadly for Wound/Instant/Anaesthetic etc and/or have multiple macros, or use modifiers if you like them

/use Deadly Poison IX
/use [button:1] 16; [button:2] 17


Throw
Just casts Deadly Throw if there are CPs up and basic Throw if there aren't

#show Deadly Throw
/cast Deadly Throw
/cast Throw


Fan of Knives AoE Blitz
Massively situational, but you never know... this will need to be pressed multiple times as the Global Cooldown is triggered frequently - mash away! It's going to cast AR, BF then TotT so that you're regenerating energy twice as fast via AR, hitting twice the targets via BF and dumping all the aggro on the tank, who's hopefully your focus - no deliberately focusing ranged or healers now!

/cast Adrenaline Rush
/cast Blade Flurry
/cast [target=focus] Tricks of the Trade
/castsequence Fan of Knives, Fan of Knives, Fan of Knives, Fan of Knives, Fan of Knives, Fan of Knives




Thank you very much Gower!

New Server, New Look, New Guild, I'm Back!

So fellow rogues and WoW players alike! I'm back in the frosty lands of Northrend with a brand new guild called 'Grudge.'
They're a brand new bunch, including my old best friend Shaerix the Hunter, and they've been nice enough to offer me a trial place in their endgame raiding guild.

Unfortunately for me, i've been inactive lately, but spending a day getting back into the swing was all i needed. I came second for the rogue DPS, which was a really nice suprise, and not too far towards the bottom :P

I'll post a screen tommorrow!

I'm a little tired now, so much more to come!
