I want /use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]shadowstrike
to also include backstab. If I could do /use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]shadowstrike;backstab for example it would be great, but it doesn’t work. I want this so the first press of this macro will shadowstrike and then backstab from then on, but also keep the mouseover modifiers, I have tried literally everything.
I think this can be done using a stance macro. Google it.
However, most players just put Backstab on their normal bar and put Shadow Strike in the same position on the stealth bar.
If you are in stealth or Shadow Dance, why would you Backstab?
There’s probably a better way. But, I got it to work with this:
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,stance]Shadowstrike
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,nostance]Backstab
/use [stance] Shadowstrike; Backstab
I tried some things and they didn’t work. Turns out trying to have two abilities in a macro with a mouseover conditional is rough.

I tried this and ya its doesnt work, but this macro for example I found randomly its the only one that will always use shadowstrike over back stab, but it does not have the mouseover modifier I need, would be cool to att it but doesn’t let me.
/use [form:1/2][form:0,stealth,combat,harm,nodead] Shadowstrike; [combat]Backstab
/use [noform] backstab; Shadowstrike
Does this work for the OP?
Tbh, I’d just use the bar switching
#showtooltip [stance:1] Shadowstrike;Backstab
/cast [@mouseover,nodead,harm,stance:1] Shadowstrike; [@mouseover,nodead,harm] Backstab
Gotta specify the targeting conditions again as otherwise it’s looking for an “Else” to when you first specified them.
I tried 20 ways to get it to work, but the backstab portion does not work, is there a way to add just the [combat] modifer to /cast [@mouseover,nodead,harm] Backstab if so i can just use that in combat and my /cast !stealth will trigger before.
/CAST !STEALTH
/use [combat][@mouseover,harm,nodead] backstab
/CAST !STEALTH
the mouseover,harm,nodead portion stops working after the combat modifer but it ensure i use shadowstrike first global from no combat
if you want it to cast one then the other wouldn’t you want a cast sequence macro?
#showtooltip
/castsequence [@mouseover,nodead,harm,stance:1] Shadowstrike; Backstab
fancier one (will refresh with new target if they die before you backstab)
#showtooltip
/castsequence [@mouseover,nodead,harm,stance:1] reset=target Shadowstrike; Backstab
if the above don’t work try (it will prioritize the mouseover, but if you aren’t moused over a target it will cast on your current target) In theory 
#showtooltip
/castsequence [@mouseover,nodead,harm,stance:1][@target,nodead,harm] reset=target Shadowstrike; Backstab
You may need to be very specific on what you want the macro to do. From what I understood you simply wanted “/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][]shadowstrike” to also Backstab when unable to Shadowstrike. And that’s what the one I posted did. :x
It should use Backstab(Shadowstrike if usable) on your mouseover target. If there is no mouseover target, it will use Backstab/Shadowstrike on the target you are targeting.
thx for the help, but heres the problem with all 3 of the macros, they work and the target and mouseover modifers work for shadowstrike, but not for backstab. Leaving only the shadowstrike portion of the macro working. I want /use [@mouseover,harm,nodead] shadowstrike/backstab to work in theory but only the first spell entered works, ive tried alot of ways but ye
The one that I posted (a month ago lol) worked as you described in my testing.
Edit: And make sure you’re putting the macro on both your stealth bar and non-stealth bar.
maybe try [Form:2] if you are looking for something that works in shadow dance. but all of my macros work in the sense that you Shadow strike then you can backstab.
edit I think you are looking for something more specific which you can’t do in one macro. But I’ve tested a few of the posts and they all do what you ask to Shadow strike then backstab.
Listen im going to explain it one more time as simply as I can, this macro
I found “/use [form:1/2][form:0,stealth,combat,harm,nodead] Shadowstrike; [combat]Backstab” lets you press one button to backstab and shadowstrike, for example sometimes you press shadowdance and instantly try to press your 1 ability to shadowstrike it will press backstab first because the frames have to change. That macro fixes that and will ALWAYS use shadowstrike over backstab when you can. I want that macro to have the same modifier as this macro “/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead] shadowstrike” BUT FOR BOTH SHADOWSTRIKE AND BACKSTAB not just 1,this macro allows you to shadowstrike your main target, if you mouseover someone it will shadowstrike the mouse over target, its very useful in arena for killing totems when staying on your main target, I tried everything and I’m sure it can’t be done but never know
That’s exactly what the macro I posted does! Vintorez’s macro should, as well. And looks more pretty.
If they aren’t, the only thing I can assume is there’s some issue with player targets. I’ve noticed that a few times with other macros. For some reason, conditionals on players just don’t function sometimes. So, until that bug is fixed, you’re stuck.
Or I suppose you just aren’t copy-pasting correctly.
this is the best I can think of to do what you are trying to do. Out of stealth it will mouse over Backstab, in stealth it will mouse over Shadowstrike, in Shadowdance it will mouse over Shadowstrike. but only on a mouseover. By specifying the stance it should bypass the conditional.
#Showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,stance:0] Backstab
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,stance:1] shadowstrike
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead,form:2] shadowstrike
Or if you want to have a single button for target and mouseover one of these “should” do it. Otherwise I’m stumped.
#Showtooltip
/use [stance:0][@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target] Backstab
/use [stance:1][@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target] shadowstrike
/use [form:2][@mouseover,harm,nodead][@target] shadowstrike
#Showtooltip
/use [stance:0][@mouseover,harm,nodead] Backstab; Backstab
/use [stance:1][@mouseover,harm,nodead] Shadowstrike; Shadowstrike
/use [form:2][@mouseover,harm,nodead] Shadowstrike; Shadowstrike
