Rogue Macros WoW Classic: Best Commands for PvE and PvP
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
The rogue is the master of surprise attacks and melee control. On WowX5 x5 rogues top DPS charts through Ambush openers, Sinister Strike + Eviscerate rotation and smart poison usage. Macros speed up the routine and give an edge in PvP.
All powerful stealth attacks require you to be stealthed. Only break stealth through an attack — never click empty space, or you'll lose stealth with no damage dealt.
Stealth Openers
Ambush from Stealth
`` /cast Stealth /cast Ambush ``
Garrote (Silence + Bleed)
`` /cast Garrote ``
Ambush deals 150–250% weapon damage — use a slow weapon with high maximum damage for maximum spike damage.
Core Attack Macros
Sinister Strike + Eviscerate by Combo Points
| Combo Points | Action |
|---|---|
| 1–3 | Sinister Strike to build points |
| 4–5 | Eviscerate to finish |
`` /cast [mod:shift] Eviscerate; Sinister Strike ``
Sprint + Wing Clip (anti-mage kite)
`` /cast Sprint /cast Wing Clip ``
Interrupt and Control
Kick — Instant Interrupt
`` /stopcasting /cast Kick ``
Kick interrupts any cast. In PvP use it against mages and priests — 5 seconds of school lockout is decisive in a short fight.
Blind (CC)
`` /cast Blind ``
Vanish — Emergency Escape
`` /cast Vanish ``
Vanish in 1.12.1 has a known bug: damage dealt a fraction of a second before the cast can drop stealth. Wait for a moment when no damage is hitting you.
Raid Macros
Backstab (Assassination rotation)
`` /cast Backstab ``
Expose Armor (for raid debuff)
`` /cast Expose Armor ``
PvP Macros
Ambush → Eviscerate → Blind → Vanish
`` /cast Ambush /cast Eviscerate /cast Blind /cast Vanish ``

FAQ
How to apply poisons to weapons with a rogue macro?
Use /use [Poison Name] to take the poison from your bag. In Classic 1.12.1 there is no direct macro command to apply poison — you must click the poison onto the weapon icon manually.
Can you make an Ambush macro that auto-exits stealth?
Ambush requires stealth — if you are already stealthed, /cast Ambush fires automatically. If not, enter stealth with /cast Stealth first, then use Ambush.
How to make a Pickpocket macro for a rogue?
Use /cast Pick Pocket then click the mob. No special macro needed — just bind it to a key and click targets while in stealth before engaging.
