Warlock Affliction Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Affliction Warlock: the burst key derived from the current top parses, plus the macros this spec actually uses. Spell names follow the language you pick on this site, so they match your game client.

This Affliction Warlock page opens with a burst key derived from three top WarcraftLogs openers, keeping any off-GCD cooldown that shows up in at least one of them. Every scene starts the same way, with Agony. On a raid boss and on a Mythic+ single target the key then folds in Summon Darkglare, while the Mythic+ AoE key adds no off-GCD cooldown at all. All three include trinket /use lines, so on-use trinkets fire on the same press without a separate keybind. The spec macros are mostly about applying damage over time without retargeting: Corruption, Agony and Haunt all cast on a hostile mouseover first. Banish uses a Shift modifier to hit your focus, Demonic Circle places the circle with Shift and teleports without it, and Soulstone targets your mouseover, casts, then returns to your previous target. One macro uses known checks to cast Shadowfury at your cursor or Howl of Terror, whichever of the two you have, and a pet macro sends your demon in to attack. Copy the macro, set this site to your client language so the names match, and paste it in game.

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 1 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
