This page gathers simple, reliable Rogue macros for WoW Classic – usable in Classic Era, Hardcore and Season of Discovery. They’re designed to be easy to remember, avoid keybind bloat, and work well with most UIs and addon setups.

General Rogue Macros

These macros are useful for every spec.

Start-Attack + Ability Macro (Sinister Strike)

Prevents you from standing there doing nothing because your ability is on cooldown – it always starts your auto-attack.

#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike

---

Mouseover Crowd Control (Sap)

Quickly CC enemies by just hovering them – invaluable for dungeon pulls and hardcore play.

#showtooltip Sap
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Sap

• Saps your mouseover target (nameplate, 3D model, raid frame, etc.)
• If you don’t have a mouseover, it uses your current target instead

---

Focus Interrupt (Kick)

Keep an interrupt on your focus without changing your main target – perfect for bosses or dangerous casters.

#showtooltip Kick
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Kick

• If you have a focus target set, this always interrupts that unit
• If you don’t, it behaves like a normal Kick on your main target

Assassination Rogue Macros

Focus on finishers and single-target damage.

Cold Blood + Eviscerate

Classic Assassination burst finisher – guarantees a big crit on your Eviscerate when used correctly.

#showtooltip Eviscerate
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Eviscerate

---

Stealth Opener – Cheap Shot / Garrote

Use one key for your main stealth opener – default Cheap Shot, or Garrote when holding Shift.

#showtooltip Cheap Shot
/cast [nostealth] Stealth
/cast [stealth,mod:shift] Garrote; [stealth] Cheap Shot

• If you’re not stealthed → toggles Stealth
• In Stealth → casts Cheap Shot
• In Stealth + holding Shift → casts Garrote

Combat Rogue Macros

Help manage your builder/spender flow and burst cooldowns.

---

Sinister Strike / Backstab Toggle (Single Key)

Use one key for your main builder – Sinister Strike when you’re in front, Backstab when you’re behind the target.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Backstab; Sinister Strike

• Press normally → casts Sinister Strike
• Hold Shift → casts Backstab

---

Adrenaline Rush + Blade Flurry + Trinkets

Classic Combat “press all your buttons” burst macro for boss burn or heavy cleave.

#showtooltip Adrenaline Rush
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Adrenaline Rush

Oh-Shit Macro – Evasion + Sprint

Gives you dodge and movement speed in one press to survive bad pulls or get out of danger fast.

#showtooltip Evasion
/cast Evasion
/cast Sprint

Subtlety Rogue Macros

These focus on stealth control, openers and reset tools.

---

Premeditation + Cheap Shot Opener

Subtlety opener that automatically uses Premeditation before your Cheap Shot to front-load combo points.

#showtooltip Cheap Shot
/cast Premeditation
/cast Cheap Shot

---

Reset Macro – Vanish + Stopattack

Helps you cleanly reset fights or drop threat without accidentally breaking your own Vanish.

#showtooltip Vanish
/stopattack
/cast Vanish

• /stopattack prevents your auto-attacks from immediately breaking Vanish

---

Pull Control – Distract + Sap

Helps you reposition packs with Distract and quickly follow up with Sap on the priority target.

#showtooltip Sap
/cast Distract
/cast Sap

How to Create Macros in WoW Classic

If a macro doesn’t work:

• Check spelling of abilities (language & rank don’t matter in Classic, but names must match).
• Make sure the skill is learned.
• Try removing other addons that modify macros or action bars.
