Can we get some rune calls in macros so we dont have to shift around all our hotbars every time we swap rune loadouts?
Im aware you can do stuff like /cast Hands Rune Ability, but thats not always adequate.
As an example, shadowstrike is only usable while stealthed, so i would like to have a macro that is something like “if shadowstrike equipped, use sinister strike, otherwise, use hand rune ability” similar to how you can make a macro that would pummel if youre in one stance or shield slam if youre in another
/cast [stealth]Shadowstrike;sinister strike
Not sure if the modifier will work but it’s worth a shot, when stealthed it should shadowstrike and when not sinister strike, I don’t think tooltip will work properly though
Thats not what i mean, i want it to use sinister strike if i have shadowstrike, but sabre slash or mutilate if i have those instead
Try a macro that has all 3 maybe
/Use attack
/Use attack
/Use attack
Then whatever rune your using should work
Unfortunately, there is some limitation to macros, you won’t be able to make one that changes fully from Sinister Strike to Shadowstrike, however these macro’s I’ve made do work:
#showtooltip [stealth] Garrote; [nostealth] Saber Slash
/cleartarget [dead][help]
/use [nostealth] Saber Slash
/use [nostealth] Sinister Strike
/use [stealth] Pick Pocket
/use [stealth] Garrote
/startattack [nostealth]
#showtooltip [stealth] Shadowstrike; [nostealth] Legs Rune Ability
/cast [stealth] Shadowstrike
/cast [nostealth] Legs Rune Ability
Personally, when I switch out my saber lash rune, I use a different macro because #showtoolip can’t be doubled up like /cast can, however the first macro has the Sinister Strike line in there because when you don’t have Saber Slash, It can execute Sinister Strike without the macro stopping on the Saber Slash line.
For reference, you can call your other runes with:
/cast Hands Rune Ability
/cast Chest Rune Ability

Does the [known] conditional work in Classic? I haven’t had a reason to check myself.
If so maybe this would work-
#showtooltip
/cast [known: Shadowstrike] Sinister Strike;
the [Known:] functionality does not work, if you put in into a macro the console will scold you

It’s odd that some functions work and others that are from Retail do. Bummer.
oh, I didn’t realise this was a thing, that would be perfect if they could implement it!
#showtooltip
/cast [known: Shadowstrike] Sinister Strike; Hands Rune Ability
is exactly the macro I’m looking for, they just gotta implement the functionality!
Yeah it’s odd. I thought all the macro stuff that was added for retail was also in Classic.
[@cursor] and [@player] work for ground targets and both weren’t in OG Vanilla.
yeah, though to be fair, it looks like [known:] was designed specifically for talents, and more specifically the dragonflight talents, so it might be in the game, just not working on the systems that exist.
This one is seemingly working for me:
#showtooltip
/cleartarget [dead][help]
/startattack
/use Riposte
/use Shiv
/use Mutilate
/use Saber Slash
/cast [stealth] Shadowstrike; [nostealth] Sinister Strike
/cast !Stealth
nah, you’re trying to wheelchair the entire game into 2 buttons with pvp gear swap macros out of combat. git gud instead.
and i’ve already perfected this, so dont ask or interfere. i’m easily the top duelist in the game atm.
