Where to paste this

Type /macro to open the macro window.
Click New, choose an icon and a name, then paste your macro body.
Drag the macro onto an action bar and bind that slot to a key.
Use #showtooltip so the button icon and cooldown follow the spell being cast.

More WoW Classic macros

Rogue macros first, then the rest of the WoW Classic library.

Apply Poison
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Instant Poison
/use Instant Poison
/use [mod:shift] 17; 16
```
Applies your poison to the main hand, and the off-hand while Shift is held. Poison reapplication is a chore in vanilla and this cuts it down to one key.
Blind (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Blind
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Blind
```
Blinds a target you are not attacking, so your combo points stay where they are. Blinding your current target wipes the points you had built on them.
Builder with Auto Attack
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/cast Sinister Strike
/startattack
```
Casts your builder and guarantees auto-attack is running. Auto-attack does not start on its own in Classic, and a Rogue not swinging is a Rogue doing almost no damage.
Cancel Skull of Impending Doom
Rogue
```
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Restless Strength
/equipslot 17 Off-Hand Weapon Name
```
Drops the Skull effect and swaps your off-hand back. Once the Skull has broken you out of a Blind or Polymorph there is no reason to keep taking damage from it.
Expose Armor Without Breaking Blind
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Expose Armor
/cast Expose Armor
/stopattack
/cleartarget
/targetlasttarget
```
Applies Expose Armor, stops your auto-attack and drops the target so you do not immediately break your own Blind. Lets you spend leftover combo points and still restealth.
Find and Sap a Stealthed Player
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Sap
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/cast Sap
```
Clears your target, picks up the nearest enemy player and saps them. Against another Rogue this is how you win the opening exchange.
Goblin Rocket Helmet (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Goblin Rocket Helmet
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Goblin Rocket Helmet
```
Fires your engineering helmet at a hovered target for a free stun. Uses /use rather than /cast because it is an equipped item, not a spell.
Kick (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Kick
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Kick
```
Interrupts a caster without a target swap. Rogues are usually the assigned interrupt, which makes this the most-used macro in the class.
