Useful macros for warlocks 3 . 1 Affliction Macros . Haunt , then Curse of Exhaustion All DoT ' s and instant damage 3 . 1 Demonology Macros . The conditional for Metamorphosis ( warlock ) is [ form : 2 ] . Instant Summoning with One Click . This simple macro allows you to use Soulburn and instantly summon a demon with one click . Substitute your preferred pet ( Voidwalker , Felhunter , etc ) for Petname . The following variation , based on Nicodeamus ' " Summon Demons " macro lower on this page , additionally combines all Summon spells into one macro ; hold shift for Voidwalker , ctrl for Succubus , alt for Felhunter , or no mod for Imp . If you assign it the " ? " icon , it will change to reflect which modifier you are holding . Hellfire Sacrifice . This macro allows you to use a " buff on use " trinket , cast Hellfire , and use your Voidwalker ' s Sacrifice for some added protection all in one button . ( Sacrifice is not 100 % nor 50 % like in the past , but it still helps . ) One button Metamorphosis opener . This macro allows you to cast Metamorphosis , Demon Leap , Immolation Aura , Summon your Doomguard , and cast Shadow Flame using one button . A good opener for boss fights . Metamorphosis on one button . This places all of the Metamorphosis specific spells onto one button . Clicking with no modifiers will trigger Metamorphosis on the first click and Immolation Aura on the second click . Metamorphosis does not trigger the Global Cooldown however you will still need to click twice to trigger Immolation due to it ' s requirement that the Meta be active to cast . This macro no longer works Metamorphosis , Demonic Empowerment , trinkets . When activated , this will use any available trinket , cast Metamorphosis , cast Demonic Empowerment when an Imp or Felguard is summoned , and cast your regular spell . Change all occurrences of Curse of Agony to the spell of your choice . This version allows for focus casting when the ALT key is held . Without holding alt , casts on your current target . Both versions will stop error messages from appearing on your screen but audible messages will still occur so you may wish to turn off Error Speech in the sound options . This version will turn the error speech off during the casting and back on once it is done . It will NOT remove the visual error messages . Metamorphosis maximum demonology AoE dps . This macro combines the two macros above primarily for maximum demonology AoE dps output . Warning : may cause extreme aggro and sudden death if used carelessly : ) ( order of abilities will depend on cooldowns ; the above assumes no abilities on cooldown . ) This version allows control of ' Demon Form ' with one button and prevents error messages appearing on screen for this macro if trinkets etc are on cooldown . ( Note : error speech will still occur ) This macro no longer works Lazy Demonology DPS Macro . This Macro is for easy DPS as Demonology ( 0 / 56 / 15 spec ) . Simply spam the macro until the end , then when your DoTs fall off , press again three times ( four times if you ' re using the Glyph of Life Tap ) . If you ' re moving around a lot and the macro gets stuck in the middle , you ' d hold shift to start the macro from the beginning . In between using this macro , spam Incinerate , or Soul Fire when Decimation is active . The macro also automatically makes your pet attack your target and activates Demonic Empowerment ( which can be fit in outside of the cast sequence since it ' s not on the GCD ) . You can omit Rank 1 Life Tap if you ' re not using the Glyph of Life Tap , or Shadow Bolt if you have another warlock with the ISB talent , or substitute whatever curse you may prefer or be asked to use instead of CoE . You can also include Metamorphosis and / or a trinket at the end , using the same command as DE , assuming you ' re in a situation where it ' s not vital to use CDs at any specific point ( e . g , heroics ) . Five pets , one button . I found this macro to be useful . Every pet has some active skills , which want to be accessen quickly . So why not put one active skill from every pet on the same button ? So the macro goes as this : The last part ist just for the button not showing a question mark , if no demon is summoned . 3 . 3 Destruction Macros . Faster Imp Casting . This macro binds your incinerate with your Imp ' s firebolt . Very useful if you spam your spells ; Imp effectively casts quicker . Can also be used with other spells so that you are constantly spamming the Imp ' s firebolt . Eg . bound to Immolate : Immolate + Incinerate . This will cast Immolate then Incinerate 5 times . It will reset : " Axel ' s Funeral Pyre " . Cast ' s " Curse of the Elements , Sacrifice , and Hellfire . Only should be used when the voidwalker is out and when the cooldown meter is at zero . This is essentially a " Nuke Button " to maximize damage to the enemy while minimizing damage to you . The name comes from a scene in " Kingdom Hearts II " Where a character by the name of Axel suicide attacked the enemy by setting himself on fire . However , Sacrifice should keep you from dying in a fiery inferno of death . 3 . 1 All Warlock Macros . Tier 5 Talents . Casts the tier 5 selected talent . This macro will change the icon to the selected talent upon changing . Tier 7 Affliction Talents . Casts the tier 7 selected talent . This macro will change the icon to the selected talent upon changing . If you want to create your own macros there is a template : Where X is talent row , and Y is column , for example tier 7 is 100 lvl talent and column 1 is talent on the left ( first one ) . Mount Macros . Simplified Mounting Macro . This will automatically select your preferred flying or ground mount depending on where you are ( you will need to have cold weather flying for this to work in Northrend ) . It will also dismount you if you are already on a mount . If you use the Metamorphosis talent then this extended version of the previous macro will remove the Metamorphosis buff from your character allowing you to instantly mount up ( currently , the Metamorphosis buff does not allow the player summon a mount ) . Life Tap Macro When activated without holding ALT , this macro will cast the highest level of Life Tap available to your character . When ALT is held , it will cast the lowest . Demonic Circle When activated without holding ALT , this macro will teleport you to your Demonic Circle . When ALT is held , you will summon a new Demonic Circle Basic DoTs Casts your Corruption and Curse of Agony with one button by tapping this macro . Devour Magic If you have your felhunter out , it will cast Devour Magic on yourself , removing a magical debuff . If there is no magical debuff on you , your felhunter will devour a magical debuff from itself . If there is no magical debuff on either you or your felhunter , it will devour your current target . If your felhunter is not out , it will do nothing . Pet attack toggle button Simple , one - button attack / return . Won ' t change Aggressive , Defensive , or Passive status . Bubble / Kick / Sap This puts the Voidwalker ' s Sacrifice , the Felhunter ' s Spell Lock , and the Succubus ' s Seduction all in one button . The effect and tooltip shift depending on which pet you have out . Make sure the " ? " image is selected for the tooltips to shift . Shadow Bolt DPS When you have one or two trinkets that have a use effect that increases spell damage or some other kind of effect that you always want in use during combat you normally have use them manually or at best , click a button for it in the hot bar . This macro will allow you to use whichever trinket is not on cooldown and cast one of the spells that it helps without causing an error message to appear due to either one or both of the trinkets being on cooldown . This version allows you to press the ALT key to cast the spell on your [ focus ] instead of your target . Works best with the [ FocusFrame ] add - on . Summon Demons . This macro will allow you to summon all the normal Warlock pet demons ( Imp , VoidWalker , Succubus , and Felhunter ) by using only one action bar slot and some simple modifiers . I also set the tooltip to change depending on the modifier you are currently using . The macros below this line have not been validated to work in 3 . 1 . Use at your own risk . General Macros . Immolate & Incinerate in one button . On regular click this will cast Incinerate , hold down alt to cast Immolate . Make sure that you select the " question mark " for the buttons icon so the proper icon will show up ( Incinerate as it ' s default ) . When you hold ALT the button will change to show the Immolate icon . PvP Buff Self - Armor / Pats . PvP with Pet This one buffs you with Demon Armor , Soul Link , and Detect Invisibility . This macro will summon your Voidwalker if he ' s not already out . Feel free to substitute different pets / armors if your situation differs ! And another one , especially useful after a pet has been killed , sacrificed , or dismissed . Summons your steed after your buffs , so you can get back to the action . Grind Macro . This is intended for grinding . The assumption is that you have the following spells : Curse of Agony , Corruption , Drain Life , Health Funnel and Drain Soul . You should have some level of these spells by level 12 . After that point , the macro will just use the most advanced version of each spell ( except Drain Soul ) . The Voidwalker or Felguard are good pets when using this macro . To use , simply press the button when each spell is finished . To drain the soul ( and create a soul shard ) hold down the < Alt > key while pressing the button . And another one ( without pet attack ) : And another one ( with pet attack ) : Trinkets + Curse of Doom . This macro will use your available Trinket , and Curse of Doom all in one button . Be wary this will still cast Curse of Doom regardless if you have a trinket available . Multidrain . All three drains on a single button ( via ctrl and alt ) . If you do NOT want to be able to start your drain over before it is completely channeled , use this instead : Mount Macros . If you are in a zone where you can use your flying mount this macro will use that . If not it will summon your Dreadsteed . As an alternative a more advanced macro can be used . This differs from the above form in that it shows the appropriate tooltip based on what mount you are able to currently use . It also allows the use of the ALT key to summon the Dreadsteed within areas that allow flying . This macro also prevents you from accidentally dismounting while in the air . The outdoor check was omitted to save space . Same concept as the above macro , but will allow you to summon your Dreadsteed by pressing ctrl even in a flyable area , if you so desire . Also enables you to summon a minion of your choice ( in this example a Felguard ) . Replace with your windrider and minion of choice . Crowd Control . Fear / Banish Focus Macro . This is a rather complex macro , utilizing focus to keep track on the target . Casting fear or banish will hit your target as well as create a focus of which all consecutive fears and banishes will target . Having a dead focus will be treated as if you had no focus . Chain - Fear Focus Macro . # showtooltip " Note that if you select the macro picture the first line of the macro will make this icon the fear spell , and will allow your usual tooltip to display " Pet Macros . All pet abilities in one button / AI . 221 characters long to get the most out of all pet abilities , this macro will : 1 . If you have a Succubus out , cast Seduction on your focus . 2 . If you have an Imp out , cast Dark Pact . 3 . if you have a Felhunter out , cast Spell Lock on your focus . 4 . If in combat with a voidwalker , cast Dark Pact and then Sacrifice . 5 . If out of combat with a voidwalker , cast Consume Shadows and Health Funnel . This is another version of the above macro which has been modified to include all of the most important pet abilities . Imp Dark Pact / No Imp Life Tap . Dark Pact if you have an Imp out , Life Tap if you don ' t have an Imp out . Depending on your playstyle , this may let you get by with only 1 keybinding for both Dark Pact and Life Tap . Another variant for this macro would be to use Dark Pact if your Imp or Felhunter is out since both have a nice mana pool , otherwise use Life Tap . If you use this macro with ? as icon it will show the icon for the available spell . Fel Domination + Summon Pet . If you are demonologist and have Fel Domination it will cast it and summon the pet you want . Just change ( pet you want to summon ) with the name of your desired minion , for example / use Summon Voidwalker . In addition , if you want the ability to summon more than one pet using Fel Domination with only one button , this macro works wonders . Edit for your minion preference . If Fel Domination is not up , it will summon the minion normally . NOTE : if you use the ? mark icon for the macro , you will only see the icon for Fel Domination , although the tooltip will display the correct Summon . Voidwalker management on one button . 1 . If you do not have a Voidwalker out it will summon it . 2 . If you have a Voidwalker and ARE NOT in combat , will cast Consume Shadows and heal Voidwalker . 3 . If you have a Voidwalker and ARE in combat , will Sacrifice Voidwalker . Voidwalker Health Recovery . Often when soloing with an affliction build , a warlock ends combat with near full health and mana . This quickly gets your voidwalker back up to fighting condition in a single click . If you aren ' t using your voidwalker or are in combat it acts just like the normal health funnel button . Two - button Total Pet Control . With two buttons ( macros ) you can have total pet control if you make them context sensitive . The point of this is that a keyboard can become utterly cluttered , and requiring more than 2 buttons for 5 - 6 functions on your pets results in more buttons than preferred being in an unreachable place . Before the macro I ' d bind pet function 1 ( attack ) and 5 to two buttons , but occasionally the situation comes up where the pet needs to be recalled , or needs to be told to stay in a position in sentry mode . Using the mouse + pet bar for these more advanced techniques wastes valuable time , multiple buttons waste valuable pet space . I therefore wrote a macro to bring it all down to two buttons , based on having a target selected or not . Macro 1 : Macro 2 : This allows you to do the following things : Basically everything you ever need to do with your pet in 2 buttons . Another 2 button AI system . Button 1 : Button 2 : When Button 1 is pressed , if you have a felhunter up and are targeting a friendly player , he will Devour Magic that player , otherwise he will devour magic on you . If you have a voidwalker up and in combat he will cast Suffering ( taunt ) , otherwise he will cast Consume Shadows ( heal ) . If you have a succubus up , she will cast Soothing Kiss . When Button 2 is pressed , if you have a felhunter up he will cast Spell Lock on your target . If you have a succubus up , she will cast Seduce on your target , and if you have a voidwalker up , and are in combat he will cast Sacrifice ( put in combat to help deture misclicks ) , otherwise he ' ll attempt to heal himself . Note : use the ? as the macro icon and the actual icon per ability will appear . Pet - casting management with Focus handling . In two macro buttons ( controlled by one ) , below code allow you to manage minions , its pellcasts and automatically adjustable focus . Functionality : " [ alt ] - spellcasts : " " using Focus advance : " macro : 1 ( main macro , only one if shall be key - binded - [ r ] is good option ) notice : " MultiBarLeftButton9 " in the macro means the location of the second macro on action bar . If you have trouble to modify this , here is list of actionbars : Action _ bar _ button _ names . macro : 2 ( spellcasts macro , triggerable by main macro ) Focused Seduction . # show Seduction Devour Magic - 3v3 Arena Style . # showtooltip Again , same thing more space saving , and using modifiers rather than mouse buttons ( for those keyboard enthusiasts out there ) . Normal click will cast it on you , alt + click ( or alt + hotkey ) will cast it on party member 1 , ctrl + click ( or hotkey ) will cast it on party 2 . Since only the Felhunter has Devour Magic , there ' s no need to ensure that the Felhunter is out . I recommend replacing your normal Devour Magic button on your pet toolbar with one of these . Advanced Spell Lock with Focus . # showtooltip Spell Lock Advanced Devour Magic . # showtooltip Devour Magic Pet Assist - > Grind - > Drain Soul . # Showtooltip Stone Management . Create and use Firestone or Spellstone . With 3 . 0 , firestones and spellstones were changed to work like weapon oils . No longer equipped in the relic slot , instead they each have 5 charges and are cast upon your weapon with a one hour duration . This macro will attempt to make a new firestone or spellstone ( with alt ) and it will also attempt to put the specified stone on your weapon if you already have one . It also closes the annoying " do you want to replace " popup message if you already have an oil or stone on your weapon and disables sound effects so you don ' t have to hear the click . Change " Master " to " Grand " at level 80 . Soulstone Macro . This macro will on right click make a soulstone ( change for appropriate level ) , left click , use it and on alt left click cast it on yourself . Healthstone and Healing Potion . Note : It is currently impossible to write a macro that will have you use a Healthstone if you have one and a potion if you do not . This macro summons a Healthstone if you are not in combat , uses a Healthstone AND potion if you are . Note , depending on whether you have a Healthstone and / or potion in inventory at the time ( and applicable cooldowns ) , you may see error messages . The macro also cannot tell whether you have a Healthstone in inventory or not . These are unavoidable - the macro will still do the best it can . NB : You must edit this to indicate the correct Healthstone and healing potion names . Healthstone use / summon , Ritual of Souls in group . This will allow to use a healthstone with one click , summon with another , however in groups you will cast Ritual of Souls rather than a single summon . When you first log in it ' ll show you a red question mark icon until you make your first stone . You can change the first line to " # showTooltip Create Master Healthstone " to fix this , however it will display the number of soulshards remaining instead of healthstone . Healthstone , Soulstone and Ritual of Souls . Your two favorites stones fast and easy to use . To optimize it , select the question mark icon . Now , left click will use your Healthstone ( here , the Fel Healthstone from level 80 ) , and right click will summon it . If you hold shift , left click will use your Soulstone ( here it is a Demonic Soulstone , again level 80 version ) , and right click summon the stone . At last , holding alt will let you begin your Ritual of Souls . When using first , you ' ll have just the question mark . Summon a healthstone to get the tooltip upgraded ( it won ' t work for the summoning spells though ) . Demonology Macros . Instant summoning w / 2nd click Soul Link . Casts Soul Link on the second click whether casting instantly or normally ( Alt ) . Replace " Imp " to modify for another warlock combat pet .
