Is there a way to make a macro that will use shadow dance if it’s available otherwise use backstab?
Do you mean to use shadowstrike? Or shadowdance?
If the former, I just mirror my stealth bar to be the exact same as my non-stealth bar and swap out backstab for shadowstrike.
Prevents you from ever using BS if you are in a dance.
Ya I do the same. I have shadow strike and Backstab as my 1 key. I wanted it so I just mash 1 and if shadow dance is up it will use it and keep pressing 1 to shadow strike then when dance is over it will Backstab. When shadow dance is up again it will use it all with 1 key
Well, if you mean Shadowstrike:
#showtooltip
/cast [stance] Shadowstrike; Backstab
If you actually mean Shadow Dance, I’d still use the above and have:
#showtooltip
/cast [nostance] Shadow Dance
/cast [stance] Shadowstrike; Backstab
But, if you truly just want a Shadow Dance/Backstab macro, just delete “[stance] Shadowstrike;” from the second macro there and use that.

Your second macro is more what I was looking for. Basically a macro that will put me in shadow dance if it’s up and use Shadowstrike otherwise use Backstab.
Did you test it? Does it work? This might be something I am interested in as well.
I think it worked but I’ll test it more later.
how would I add symbols to only be used during dance also?
Just add it into the same macro since Dance and SoD are both off of the GCD.
You can even add SB to it as well.
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Symbol of Death
/cast [stance] Shadowstrike; Backstab
But that is dumb since it will lead to bad dps due to SoD using during BS or bad pooling of energy.
Do 3 macros:
backstab/SS
Dance/SoD
Blades/Dance/SoD/SS for opener
But if you don’t really care about dps and just want effortless in playing sub, just put everything into one macro and auto pilot with one button press.
