Auto-attack macro problem.

[Blackbeard 0]

Hey there, so as a rogue, I'm mostly spamming sinister strike in dungeons. When we fight a group, I spam it on the focus target and fire my finishers now and then. When the focus mob dies, my target switches to the next mob, which is all fine so far. But when I don't have enough energy to hit with a sinister strike, when changing the target, I stand there for a good while, doing nothing. How to prevent that with a macro? I try to just right click the mob as often as I can, to do swings on him but in larger mob groups it's a high chance, that I don't right click the mob, I want to hit. I also tried it with a macro that looks like /cast attack /cast sinister strike but when I hit that more than once, I just stop attacking at all.

Does someone have a macro that solves my problem? Couldn't find anything.

Put the spell 'Attack' where #36 is and then make the following macro to spam:

/run CastSpellByName("Sinister Strike")
/run if not IsCurrentAction(36) then UseAction(36) end

I use it (thx, btw), but it won't make you autoattack if you don't use an autoattack macro with your ability (eg is sinister strike).

Or i use it wrong, and please correct me.

Thank you all for your help.

@Lebowskiany idea, how to figure out which one is #36 with bartender or will I have to disable bartender, place Attack on 36 and enable it again?

Yeah, it has nothing to do with that. It just changes the attack ability not to toggle (no matter how you use it, macro, spellbook, actionbar).
