FAQ

How do I ensure my trinket activates with these macros?

Ensure your combat-potent trinket is equipped in the top trinket slot (slot 13) for the macro to activate it. You can also specify the trinket by name if it's not in slot 13.

Can I add more abilities to these burst macros?

Yes, you can add more abilities, but be mindful of the macro character limit and the global cooldown. Prioritize instant abilities or those that don't trigger a GCD. Consider using /castsequence for multiple GCD abilities if timing is not critical.

Why is 'Shadow Dance' often the first ability in a Subtlety Rogue burst macro?

Shadow Dance is crucial for Subtlety Rogue burst as it grants access to powerful stealth abilities and improves damage. Activating it first ensures that subsequent abilities benefit from its effects.
