Inferno! Destruction Warlock Macros for WoW: The War Within

📖 Table of Contents

Macros

This macro set is for Destruction Warlocks using the HELLCALLER Hero Talent tree, built specifically for M+ scenarios. I’ve followed Wowhead’s latest M+ recommendations for talents—while powerful, the spec is packed with active abilities, which means juggling more tasks for top-tier performance.

Single Target Macro

This castsequence setup balances DPS and fluidity, using a Chaos Bolt-oriented loop. It includes Wither for extra damage mid-sequence. Hold a modifier key to cast Soul Fire—I suggest casting it when it’s glowing for faster channeling. Or use it pre-pull for some bonus burst.

AOE Macro

This macro has the same spell count as the ST version but focuses on burst AoE. It excludes Wither and includes Rain of Fire, which is instant and makes the macro cycle faster. Remember: Soul Fire is still available via a modifier. You must also mouse-target for Rain of Fire to land.

Yes, sometimes you’ll find yourself overflowing with Soul Shards. That’s on purpose. Thanks to the Ritual of Ruin passive, I had to balance macro smoothness even when the buff doesn’t trigger, so the sequence still runs effectively.

Note: Since Channel Demonfire tops both macros, avoid toggling between ST and AoE too quickly or the sequence might lock up. It has a CD, even if partially reduced.

Opener / Burst Macro

This macro opens your fight with Havoc → Cataclysm → Malevolence → Summon Infernal. Target area required! It also uses both trinkets and burst potions. Reset is 12s so Havoc can be reused frequently for added value.

Demon Summon Macro

This macro summons based on group status. In parties, it uses Fel Domination + Felhunter for fast re-entry post-death. Solo? It defaults to summoning a Voidwalker. Modify the demon types as needed—I suggest Felhunter for interrupts in M+.

#showtooltip /cast [nopet, group, nomounted] Fel Domination /cast [nopet, group, nomounted] Summon Felhunter; [nopet, nogroup, nomounted] Summon Voidwalker

Survivability Macro

Default casts Dark Pact for self-protection. Hold alt for Soulburn + Drain Life, or shift for Soulburn + Health Funnel to heal your pet. Soulburn is managed separately to prevent Soul Shard issues.

Lastly, I didn’t include curse spells in these macros—Curse of Exhaustion, Curse of the Satyr, or Curse of Tongues should be chosen based on the specific fight. Automating them isn’t wise since macros can’t detect enemy traits. Also, I’ve left out Unending Resolve because of its 3-min cooldown—it’s not something worth macroing in most cases.
