Cloak of Shadows (Instant)

Cancels your queued ability and wipes magical effects off you straight away. Cloak is a response to a debuff that has already landed, so speed is the whole value.

Where to paste this

Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
Bind the action bar slot to a key as usual; the macro fires on key press.

More WoW macros

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

Blind (Focus)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Blind
/focus [mod:shift]
/stopmacro [mod:shift]
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Blind
```
Blinds your focus without touching your current target. Holding Shift instead sets your target as the new focus, so setup and use share one key.
Builder with Auto Attack
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike
```
Guarantees your auto-attacks are running whenever you press your builder. Rogues lose a surprising amount of damage to auto attack quietly switching off after a stun.
Burst Window
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Adrenaline Rush
/cast Adrenaline Rush
/use 13
```
Fires your damage cooldown alongside your first trinket. Swap Adrenaline Rush for Shadow Blades or Deathmark depending on the specialisation you are playing.
Cheap Shot (Focus)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Cheap Shot
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Cheap Shot
```
Opens on your focus target from stealth without giving up whatever you had selected.
Distract (Cursor)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Distract
/cast [@cursor] Distract
```
Turns enemies at your cursor away from you. Distract is entirely about placement, so removing the reticle step makes it far more usable while stealthed.
Feint (Instant)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Feint
/stopcasting
/cast Feint
```
Drops your current ability and takes the damage reduction now. Feint is pressed in reaction to an area attack that is already on its way in.
Grappling Hook (Cursor)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Grappling Hook
/cast [@cursor] Grappling Hook
```
Fires the hook at your cursor with no confirmation click. Outlaw uses this as a movement ability constantly and the second click is pure friction.
Kick (Focus Interrupt)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Kick
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Kick
```
Interrupts your focus target if you have one, otherwise your current target. Rogues are usually the assigned kicker, which makes this the most-used macro in the class.
