Sub Rogue Thoughts and Ruminations

My Sub Rogue at L61 has 4 power ups to manage. It feels like I’m just mashing buttons like crazy during battle.

What’s the perspective on this? Gimmie something to believe in.

Macros. Believe in macros. Trust me they make sub life a lot more enjoyable.

That’s not a bad thought. I’ll look into that. Thanks.

Later on I’ll log in and copy some for you off my rogue. I think you really only need one or two to make it very livable.

Awesome. I’d love to see 'em.

I’d recommend not using macros for damage abilities on sub rogue unless you really don’t care about maximizing its effectiveness.

This guy is probably right, but here’s mine anyway:

#showtooltip Echoing Reprimand
/use14
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Echoing Reprimand

#showtooltip Stealth
/dismount
/cancelaura [nocombat] Shadow Dance
/stopattack
/stopcasting
/cast !stealth

#showtooltip Secret Technique
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Secret Technique

#showtooltip Shadow BLades
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Symbols of Death
/use 14
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadowstrike

So what I do is:
Cheap Shot
Shadow Blades macro above
Secret Tech macro above
Shadow Strike x2
(insert other finisher here, like maybe SnD, Kidney, Rupture, Evis, whatever situation calls for)

I’d say it’s simpler than assassination of you have the right macros, but still far from easy.

Thanks for these. I’ll give 'em a try.

lol assa is a lot easier than sub

Here’s some macros;

Macro 1
/castsequence reset=4 Shadow Dance, Gloomblade
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13 for your on use trinket

Use this whenever Shadow Dance is up. The gloom blade after shadow dance is to start your danse macabre buff. And you’ll always want to use the other abilities with shadow dance so its a nice easy way to take 4 buttons off your hotbar

Macro2
#showtooltip Secret Technique
/castsequence reset=5 Cold Blood, Thistle Tea
/cast Secret Technique

This will use Cold Blood and thistle tea right before you do your big dps spender for maximum damage.
