Builder with Auto Attack

Casts your builder and guarantees auto-attack is running. Auto-attack does not start on its own in Classic, and a Rogue not swinging is a Rogue doing almost no damage.

Where to paste this

Type /macro to open the macro window.
Click New, choose an icon and a name, then paste your macro body.
Drag the macro onto an action bar and bind that slot to a key.
Use #showtooltip so the button icon and cooldown follow the spell being cast.

Rogue macros first, then the rest of the WoW Classic library.

Apply Poison
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Instant Poison
/use Instant Poison
/use [mod:shift] 17; 16
```
Applies your poison to the main hand, and the off-hand while Shift is held. Poison reapplication is a chore in vanilla and this cuts it down to one key.
Blind (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Blind
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Blind
```
Blinds a target you are not attacking, so your combo points stay where they are. Blinding your current target wipes the points you had built on them.
Cancel Skull of Impending Doom
Rogue
```
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Restless Strength
/equipslot 17 Off-Hand Weapon Name
```
Drops the Skull effect and swaps your off-hand back. Once the Skull has broken you out of a Blind or Polymorph there is no reason to keep taking damage from it.
Cheap Shot or Backstab
Rogue
```
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Cheap Shot; Backstab
```
Opens with Cheap Shot from stealth and uses Backstab otherwise. Two abilities that occupy the same moment in your rotation, on one key.
Expose Armor Without Breaking Blind
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Expose Armor
/cast Expose Armor
/stopattack
/cleartarget
/targetlasttarget
```
Applies Expose Armor, stops your auto-attack and drops the target so you do not immediately break your own Blind. Lets you spend leftover combo points and still restealth.
Find and Sap a Stealthed Player
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Sap
/cleartarget
/targetenemyplayer
/cast Sap
```
Clears your target, picks up the nearest enemy player and saps them. Against another Rogue this is how you win the opening exchange.
Goblin Rocket Helmet (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Goblin Rocket Helmet
/use [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Goblin Rocket Helmet
```
Fires your engineering helmet at a hovered target for a free stun. Uses /use rather than /cast because it is an equipped item, not a spell.
Kick (Mouseover)
Rogue
```
#showtooltip Kick
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Kick
```
Interrupts a caster without a target swap. Rogues are usually the assigned interrupt, which makes this the most-used macro in the class.
