Warlock Destruction Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Destruction 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.

Destruction has two burst-key scenes on this page, each from three top-ranked WarcraftLogs openings with the bar at one opener out of three; no Mythic+ single-target version was produced from those openings. On raid bosses the sampled players open with Conflagrate and fold in Big Red Rays plus trinket /use lines. Mythic+ AoE pulls also open with Conflagrate, but no off-GCD cooldown qualified, so that key is the opener and trinkets only. The spec macros lean on mouseover and cursor placement. Havoc goes to a hostile mouseover and otherwise to your hostile target, which lets you spread it in cleave fights without swapping targets. Rain of Fire and Cataclysm land at the cursor. Shadowburn and Corruption read your mouseover first; Shadowburn only fires if you have it talented, using a known: check. Banish goes to your focus while Shift is held. Soulstone targets your mouseover, uses the stone, then returns to your previous target with /targetlasttarget. Demonic Circle puts both halves on one key: Shift places the circle, a plain press teleports to it. Copy into a new macro and keep spell names in your client language.

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.
