Disclaimer:
Before we dive into the details, I want to provide a disclaimer. These sequences have been developed and refined over the years based on my personal preferences and playstyle. I’ve shared them publicly to help others who enjoy playing Rogues using GSE. If I’ve published a sequence here, it means it’s working perfectly fine for me. However, if something isn’t working on your end, I might not be able to fix it for you. That responsibility will ultimately fall on you to troubleshoot.

What the Macro Does
Builder/Spender Macro
This macro is designed to handle your primary builder and spender abilities. It does not include utility abilities or crowd control (CC), focusing solely on maintaining an optimized damage rotation.
Purpose: Simplifies the builder/spender rotation for Assassination Rogues.
Utility: Does not include utility abilities or crowd control.
Optimization: Focuses on an optimal rotation without extra frills.
- Major Cooldowns: Uses all offensive cooldowns optimally.
- Maintainance: Keeps buffs and debuffs active, even when switching targets.
- Builders and Spenders: Utilises Mutilate and Ambush (If talented into Blindside) as builders, and Envenom as the main spender.
Talents
The builds are what I’m using from Wowhead / Rogue class Discord but any should work.
>>HERE<<
Known Issue with AoE Macro and Blindside Talent
After further testing, I’ve identified that the reason the AoE macro may lock up is due to the Blindside talent. When Blindside procs, it can disrupt the /castsequence
logic and cause the macro to hang. This appears to be a long-standing issue with how GSE handles proc-based abilities, and it has been reported across multiple expansions.
If you’re running with Blindside talented, I recommend using Version 2 of the ASS_AOE_BUILD
sequence instead.
- This version avoids the castsequence lockup, but you’ll need to manually use
Mutilate
to trigger Caustic Spatter during your AoE rotation.
That said, it’s worth noting that the overall performance difference is minimal if you opt for a build that does not use Blindside. In my testing, the gap between the Blindside build and a non-Blindside alternative was only around 1.10% DPS—essentially negligible in most content.
- Because of this, I’m currently using the Hybrid M+ build instead:
CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMzMzMzwMAAAAAAAzixsNDAAAAAAttMzMYmxYmZWmlxYwMzMzgZmZzyYGgNzyADYJYZYCMsMA
Here are my sim results comparing the DPS difference between the two specs, using Dungeon Slice and with no external buffs applied:
I’m actively looking into a proper workaround. If anyone has already found a reliable fix, feel free to share it here, and I’ll update the macro accordingly.
The macro is built around a PVE talent setup, but it is versatile enough to work with almost any build, including PVP.
- PVP Application: In PVP, the macro functions as a burst sequence, allowing for manual control of CC without disrupting your primary rotation. Be mindful of your trinket slot when using this sequence. You may need to remove
/use 13
or/use 14
to prevent accidental trinket use. - Talent Compatibility: The macro is versatile and includes all key talents, including Deathstalker and Fatebound, to ensure maximum efficiency across different builds.
Final Notes
Just a quick note that I did make this using target dummies and have tested them extensively in all types of content since the prepatch of TWW till now. This sequence has been by far the hardest rogue spec to optimise because of the uptime of all the dots. It’s also why I’ve been hesitant to release this publicly.
- DoT Uptime: If you notice any of your DoTs firing too early or late, adjustments will be necessary. This can be resolved by manually adding or removing filler abilities in the sequence, such as adding/removing Mutilates to the
/castsequence
builder or adjusting the use of Envenoms in the spender portion of the sequence.
