Some useful macro's ESPECIALLY useful on Saurfang and whenever you need to switch weapons say for example Valkyrs on 25man LK etc.

#showtooltip Fan of Knives
/equipslot 17 *insert offhand weapon name*
/cast Fan of Knives

So just get a weapon in your bag with w.e poison is needed like Wound/Crippling etc and when needed press that (a couple of times is good to make sure the poison gets on etc use own judgement) and boom FoK spam with w.e poison is needed and then to get back to hitting (as combat it is below. If you use mutitard spec just swap Sin strike for Mutilate and jobs a good un!)

#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/equipslot 17 *original Offhand Weapon name here*
/use 10
/use 13
/use 14
/use Thistle Tea
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

That uses, Trinks + hand enchant(eng etc) and thistle tea WHICH is very useful and everyone should be using it! and puts your weapon back on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a couple of Tricks macro's like for example if Kilkal is off tanking the geists and aboms in LK I use -

/target Kilkal
/focus
/targetlasttarget

and for a DPS etc

/target everlightly
/focus
/targetlasttarget

To quickly make them my focus and carry on hitting the boss

then can use

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus]Tricks of the Trade

to cast it on whoever is the focus target.

Can also just use the names but as dps and tanks change, would mean changing the name of the macro everytime atleast you can have it set so you have a tank and dps named, but just make the Main tank focus at start of the raid manually.

And for a macro when your pvping or just need to get Tricks out there to keep energy up (it should target nearest person and cast it, yes even healers but they shouldnt be close to you most of the time so its worth it as a dump)-

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/targetparty
/targetraid
/cast Tricks of the Trade
/targetlasttarget

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also whilst leveling you should really have -

#showtooltip
/cast Sap
/cast Pick Pocket

#showtooltip
/cast Pick Pocket
/cast Ambush/Cheap shot/Garrote

Here is one to easy use(as sub can just remove for other classes) shadowstep premed and cheapshot or ambush -

#showtooltip Cheap Shot
/cast Premeditation <-- Delete if not subtley
/cast Shadowstep <-- Delete if not subtley
/cast Pick Pocket
/cast [button:1]Ambush
/cast [button:2]Cheap Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most will probably have -

#showtooltip
/stopattack
/cast Cloak of Shadows
/cast Vanish

so it does them both at same time useful in PvP and PvE, I use a variation of -

#showtooltip
/stopattack
/cast [button:1]Vanish
/cast [button:2]Cloak of Shadows

So I can use Cloak of lol without vanish, can always have it which I did awhile ago but ended up pressing 1 and 2 so deleted it,

/cast [button:1]Vanish
/cast [button:1]Cloak of Shadows
/cast [button:2]Cloak of Shadows

but thats upto you like all here, your choice ot use or not Happy some are helpful some you might not think are.

Weapon swap macros can also use bag and slot locations, my rogue's macro is:

Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/equipslot 16 2 21

Which equips the weapon from bag 2, slot 21 to my mainhand.
The icon for this will show the weapon in your bag, so you can see if you've got the wrong one equipped!
Note: Your backpack is bag 0

As for ToT macros, I have
Code: Select all
/focus [@mouseover]

set to ctrl+F
and focus target set to shift+f for easy changing of my focus (mouseover anyone on raid frames and ctrl+f to set it, shift +f with no target to clear it)

My ToT macro is then:
Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cast [@target,help][@focus,help][@targettarget,help][] Tricks of the Trade


This will cast it on my current target if that target is friendly
Else, it will cast it on my focus if it is friendly
Else, it will cast it on my target's target, if it is friendly
Else, it will give me a pointer to click on my raid frames with!

Yea but I always find it akward to find out which slot is which as I use a bag addon, and the fact they end up getting swapped around a bit depending on what I use etc, so I end up sticking with name then it always uses it no matter where.
