			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, after being level 70 for a couple months, I finally decided to make some macros.  I don&#8217;t know how I went without these previously.  I&#8217;ve only made some Rogue-specific ones thus far, but I wanted to post them for all to see.  Also, I&#8217;m not going to explain how they all work &#8211; see <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Making_a_macro" target="wowwiki">Making a macro</a> for very detailed instructions and documentation.</p>
<p>First, my sweet Sinister Strike macro.  Many Rogues will agree &#8211; being in a large clusterfuck combat (such as a huge AoE situation), just spamming a single special attack key (Hemo, SS, or Shiv &#8211; pick your poison&#8230;no pun intended <img src='http://www.quadra-tec.net/~floppie/blag/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) is much easier than worrying about trying to toggle autoattack on and off &#8211; but if you don&#8217;t have enough energy, the special attack won&#8217;t engage autoattack.  This remedies that &#8211; it uses the <b>/startattack</b> command to make sure it&#8217;s turned on no matter what.  Oh yeah, and it also automatically uses all the bomb items for the bombing dailies.  This way I don&#8217;t have to manually hotkey them every time:<code>#showtooltip Sinister Strike<br />
/startattack<br />
/cast Sinister Strike<br />
/use Flaming Oil<br />
/use Arcane Charges<br />
/use Skyguard Blasting Charges</code></p>
<p>Similarly, I made a macro for Shiv that always makes sure it turns on autoattack:<code>#showtooltip Shiv<br />
/startattack<br />
/cast Shiv</code></p>
<p>Sap/pickpocket at the same time is pretty cool, although it&#8217;s not really that great&#8230;because you don&#8217;t necessarily always want to sap the thing that you&#8217;re pickpocketing:<code>#showtooltip Sap<br />
/cast Sap<br />
/cast Pick Pocket</code></p>
<p>This Vanish/Stealth macro is really nice &#8211; it saves me from having to have separate keys, and always show/does exactly what I would want it to:<code>#showtooltip [nocombat] Stealth; Vanish<br />
/stopattack<br />
/cast [nocombat] Stealth; Vanish</code></p>
<p>This is a fun one &#8211; if you have combo points on your target, it&#8217;ll use Deadly Throw; otherwise, it&#8217;ll just use Throw.  It saves me from having one extra key, which is cool.<code>#showtooltip Deadly Throw<br />
/cast Deadly Throw<br />
/cast Throw</code></p>
<p>And now for the DPS burn button &#8211; it burns Blade Flurry and my AP trinket.  I&#8217;ve toyed with the idea to adding Adrenaline Rush to this, but I haven&#8217;t been able to decide whether or not I want to.  I&#8217;ll probably end up doing that.<code>#showtooltip Blade Flurry<br />
/cast Blade Flurry<br />
/use Terokkar Tablet of Precision</code></p>
<p>And, finally, the sweetest macro of all.  I created a Warrior named Thetodd to hold the name for my Death Knight &#8211; once Wrath of the Lich King comes out, there will be a /highfive macro.  All my Death Knight&#8217;s hotkeys will be set up as a macro like this:<code>#showtooltip Kick<br />
/cast Kick<br />
/emote high-fives %T!<br />
/say Kick five!<br />
/emote snaps.</code></p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s all I have to say about that for now.  I&#8217;ll post some more sweet macros when I come up with them <img src='http://www.quadra-tec.net/~floppie/blag/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>EDIT: Here&#8217;s one last one &#8211; saves you a bunch of searching through bags (or a bunch of hotbar space) for items you need to use during dailies.  And it allows you to pseudo-track the &#8220;Arm the Wards!&#8221; quest in Isle of Quel&#8217;Danas:<code>#show Mana Remnants<br />
/use Attuned Crystal Cores<br />
/use Shattered Sun Banner<br />
/use Astromancer's Crystal<br />
/use Mana Remnants<br />
/use Fel Siphon<br />
/use Multiphase Spectrographic Goggles<br />
/use Razorthorn Flayer Gland<br />
/use Fel Siphon<br />
/use Orb of Murloc Control</code></p>
<p>Totally sweet~</p>
