Rogue MAcro help

anyone In beta have a working modifier macro for rogue to use stealth? that is,

  /cast [mod:ctrl] Stealth(Rank 1)      *edited for space                   between stealth and rank1

I wrote this for a rogue in the stress test and its not working. i’m no expert on macro api so if anyone can give some help that would be great.

Why would you need one? Once you learn it the ability stays above your hotbar. If you’re trying to get a different rank of it, it won’t work. If you’re trying to make it an ability you place on the hotbar, try searching the spell book for it or change your key bindings to be able to use a button to toggle the ability.

Try it without the (Rank 1)?

tried it without the rank 1, doesn’t work. I use it to save button space, the macreo specifically could be used as such

  /cast [nomod] Kick; [mod:ctrl] Stealth(Rank 1)

and in the stress test, not having say, kick, was just looking to get the modifier ppart on a button on the action bar.
mod stealthing I find is a great way to keep from accidentaly hitting stealth and coming out of it, while saving button space for a quick spell (say kick or gouge)

Have you enabled the bottom left and right bars? It gives you a lot more space, and I usually bind the left with a shift-number activation. Just try /cast stealth and place it somewhere there.

All you have to do is make this macro:
/cast [nostealth] !Stealth(Rank 1)

and it will never take you out of stealth. The exclamation point before stealth ensures that, as does the [nostealth] conditional- it’s kind of overkill but will definitely ensure no accidental removals from stealth.

hmm, ty, this is certainly very helpful, though I do want that mod macro to work. anyways, thanks for the help, and keep any new input coiming if you have anything to add! :slight_smile:

If you are ok with only being able to kick in combat, you could combine stealth and kick with this macro:

/cast [nocombat,nostealth] !Stealth(Rank 1)
/cast [combat,harm] Kick

9

Ok next thing.

Start breaking down the macro and confirm the component parts work.

Try:

/cast Stealth(Rank 1)

If that works try

/s [mod:ctrl] This is a test

If that works try:

/s [mod:ctrl] This is a test of Control; [nomod] This is a test of No Control.

wow thanks a ton. after breaking down the macreo components and inserting the ! before stealth, I got it to work. I don’t know why but ill take it! :smiley:

In case it was not clear from the other responses, the point is to have a spammable key that does not take you in and out and in and out of stealth so you can mash it like an epileptic while in PvP trying to get stealthed as quickly as possible. :wink:

Seeing as how my responses were 1 and 4, the 2 and 3 messages provided no real context on what the OP really wanted, to my understanding. I had believed they wanted a two in one ability button, with Stealth having to require a modifier to be used. Now, why am I explaining myself to you? Don’t you have something better to do than reply to a solved thread? I’ll entertain you for now, troll.
