Quick Macros - Rogues

One of the rogues in my guilds is very reluctant to use add-ons, and he’s going to ponder adding anything to the mix for a long while. So last night, he asked for a simple weapon swapping macro.

#show 16
/equipslot [nocombat] 16 {name of your slow dagger}
/equipslot [combat] 16 {name of your slow sword or mace}

The above will ensure you have a dagger in your hand to ambush.

On a related note, the addition to an autoloot setting to the base wow interface has made picking pockets as simple as any other looting (wish they’d extend that to disenchanting and prospecting for that matter). So how to make sure you will grab what is essentially free money?

#showtooltip [equipped:Daggers, stealth] Ambush, [noequipped:Daggers, stealth] Cheap Shot
/cast [stealth] Pick Pocket
/stopcasting [stealth]
/cast [equipped:Daggers, stealth] Ambush, [noequipped:Daggers, stealth] Cheap Shot

For sapping, you’ll rather want to sap first, pick pockets later, to avoid getting unstealthed if your pick pockets fails:

#showtooltip
/cast Sap
/stopcasting
/cast Pick Pocket

There you go.
