Thank you! That is pretty much I how had everything set up (except I didn't know about /assist off, so thank you for that), so I will add that portion and keep everything the same.

I've got an /assist macro that will be /assist [tank] and /assist off

and then I have an /evade macro which is /attack off, /doability pickpocket {for training purposes really}, /doability hide, and then I manually turn attack on when I am comfortable I no longer will gain aggro by engaging mob again.

Backstab always stays separate.

Np. I hope some of that helps. For assist off, just type it into the game and it'll stay that way till you reinstall I think. Don't have to macro it. And it's perfectly fine to evade manually, whatever you're comfortable with.

To touch on how evade works... You and other people need to have aggro before it'll work. As I remember it, everyone gets ranked on a hate list. If you succeed on an evade, you'll drop 1 slot on the hate list. So if you're #1, you get bumped down to #2. If you're #2, you get bumped down to #3. And so on. That's accurate enough to explain it, I think. Might not be 100% correct though.

There's times when you actually might not want to completely bury yourself in the hate list, better for the rogue to get hit than the healer for example. But, in general, mashing evade everytime hide pops works well enough.
