WoW Forever Rogue Macros

Stealth and Openers

To create, save or read a macro, start with the macro builder and syntax guide. That page already covers Sinister Strike with auto attack and mouseover Gouge, so this one adds the other rogue jobs.

Cheap Shot or Sinister Strike on One Key

The button opens from Stealth and turns into your normal strike once you are out.Source: Rankedboost: Macros in WoW Forever, Macro conditions, checked Nov 8, 2026.

#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Cheap Shot; Sinister Strike

Needs: Cheap Shot at level 26, spell 1833, whose client text says it must be used from Stealth.Source: Wago Tools: Spell, spell 1833, checked Nov 8, 2026. Before 26, swap in another opener from the table below.

Watch for: the macro picks only by Stealth state, so energy and range still apply.

Sap From Stealth

The stealth condition stops the button from firing out of Stealth. The client text says Sap only works on Humanoids that are not in combat.Source: Wago Tools: Spell, spell 6770, checked Nov 8, 2026.

#showtooltip Sap
/cast [stealth,harm,nodead] Sap

Needs: Rank 1 at level 10, spell 6770.Source: Wago Tools: SpellLevels, spell 6770, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Watch for: the client text says any damage breaks the effect.

Interrupts and Burst

Kick on Your Mouseover

The client text says Kick interrupts spellcasting.Source: Wago Tools: Spell, spell 1766, checked Nov 8, 2026.

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

Needs: Rank 1 at level 12, spell 1766.Source: Wago Tools: SpellLevels, spell 1766, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Watch for: the brackets test for a living enemy, not for range, so a mouseover out of range still takes the press.

Cold Blood Into Eviscerate

Cold Blood is a talent, and its client text lists Eviscerate among the attacks it improves. The client lists no global cooldown on it and 1 second on Eviscerate Rank 1, so Cold Blood goes first.Source: Wago Tools: SpellCooldowns, spells 14177 and 2098, checked Nov 8, 2026.

#showtooltip Eviscerate
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Eviscerate

Needs: the Cold Blood talent, spell 14177, Talent row 280.Source: Wago Tools: Talent, row 280, checked Nov 8, 2026. Eviscerate Rank 1 is available at level 1, spell 2098.

Watch for: Eviscerate is a finisher, so build combo points first.

Adapting These Macros

Swapping the Opener

Replace Cheap Shot with any opener below. The limits are from the client text.Source: Wago Tools: Spell, spells 703, 8676 and 1833, checked Nov 8, 2026.

#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Ambush; Sinister Strike

Blizzard's November notes say Ghostly Strike lets your next Ambush or Garrote skip the Stealth requirement.Source: Blizzard: Beta Development Notes, post 9, checked Nov 8, 2026. A [stealth] macro still picks the second option in that window, so use a separate button for it.

Kick Ranks

The macro types no rank, and a macro with no rank casts your highest known.Source: Kami-Labs: Macros WoW Forever, core spells section, checked Nov 8, 2026. Add (Rank 1) to pin it.Source: Wago Tools: SpellLevels, spells 1766 to 1769, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Why a Rogue Macro Can Fail

Macros still need a keybind for mouseover. The macro guide says to bind mouseover buttons to a key so clicking a button does not move your pointer off the unit.

The icon stays a question mark: the name does not match a spell your character can use. Shift-click the spell from your spellbook to write the name.Source: Rankedboost: Macros in WoW Forever, The macro icon stays a question mark, checked Nov 8, 2026.

A second spell never fires: only one spell on the global cooldown can go off per press, so later lines wait for your next press.Source: Rankedboost: Macros in WoW Forever, Only the first spell in the macro goes off, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Holding a modifier does nothing: a key binding on that combination wins over the macro. Clear it on the Keybindings page.Source: Rankedboost: Macros in WoW Forever, Holding Alt, Ctrl or Shift changes nothing, checked Nov 8, 2026.

What Was Checked

Spell names, ranks, levels, cooldowns and talent status were read from the client tables at build 1.60.1.70862. Commands were read from the client's slash command strings at the same build. Macro conditions were matched to pages that document Forever macros. These macros were not run in game for this page.

Check your learned ranks in the ability reference. For the leveling plan these buttons support, see the rogue leveling guide.
