Hi I recently created a rogue for opening my lock boxes without paying 10g a box, however i am having fun playing the rogue and want to make it my main. I just hit 75 on her and got tricks and looking for macros for using it i was wondering if anyone had one like the sheep macro i have for my mage (back when cc was used)

Any help with a simple macro that i can either set tank as focus and use macro or any help on how to use tricks would be great

I'm not much of a macro person. Usually just use them to promote enchanting or whatever. I had made this one last night so I could easier tricks the tank while heading to attack the mob.

/target <tank name>
/cast Tricks of the Trade

Obviously, you'd have to change the tanks name depending on who you want to cast it on. It's simple and not the greatest macro, but it's good to start off with.

to make it easier when you get into a group set the tank as your focus and move your focus bar down to the bottom of your screen next to your attack bar right above your tricks of the trade.

This is what I use:

/focus on the tank (or DPS for the extra damage)

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade 
/cast [target=focus] Tricks of the Trade  


also, the "trickortreat addon" is pretty nice, sends a whisper to the target you tricked, and gives a report on how much more damage they've done (these whispers can be turned off)

To cast Tricks on your focus, try:

/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade

@blah is apparently the newer, cleaner version of target=blah. I admit I've not upgraded my macro, which is still "/cast [target=focus] Tricks of the Trade"

You can also replace "focus" with a specific player name. I have three separate Tricks macros, one for my current focus (usually MT), and two for named players, usually the OT and my preferred DPS target for Tricks, which is generally a fellow Rogue when possible.

Obviously, you have to update the "player name" macros when you start each run. There are some clever ways to macro that too, if you can be bothered, but I've not done so myself. From WoWWiki:

Step 1: Create a blank macro named TotT
Step 2: Create the following macro named as you please, for this example SeTTotT

/run ToT = UnitName("target")
/run if not InCombatLockdown() then EditMacro('TotT', nil, nil, '#showtooltip\n/cast [target='.. ToT ..'] Tricks of the Trade', nil); print('Tricks of the Trade set to : ' .. ToT); else print('Cannot change TotT now!'); end;

Usage :
Target the player you want to set as your Tricks of the Trade recipient and use the set macro (SeTTotT), you will see a chatlog message confirming the macro worked.
Use the TotT macro whenever you want to use Tricks of the Trade.

I haven't bothered to set up a macro for tricks.

I recently switched my main to my shammy for healing and have the vuhDO addon that you can set up for a rogue and just click on the person you want to set tricks on.
