Hi, my name is Dave.
First off, I just want to say that this forum helps me out a lot because there are some really good lazy macros here for many classes (for obvious reason lol).
So, I have been playing Affliction warlock since level 62 (because of Haunt for maximum damage). Before that, I was playing Destro. So far, I am satisfied with my macros for many general situations.
I have read some materials from icy-veins.com or noxxic.com to figure out the basic knowledge about this class, and finally decided to create some “basic” macros for my own.
In my opinion, one could not just play Affliction lock in one button, due to the fact that there are many things to be concerned about, for instance DoTs, Soul shard management and so on. Therefore, you must have several key binds.
Let’s jump right on into it
Applying DoTs
#showtooltip Unstable affliction
/castsequence reset=target Curse of the elements, Unstable affliction, corruption, agony
This will act as an opener for most cases, as it will try to apply DoTs and Unstable affliction.
Malefic grasp
#showtooltip Malefic Grasp
/cast [mod:ctrl] Haunt
/cast [combat] Blood fury
/castsequence reset=target Malefic grasp, Malefic grasp, Malefic grasp
Filter spell. You can hold down CTRL and press your key in order to fire off Haunt.
AoE Seed of Corruption
#showtooltip seed of corruption
/castsequence reset=target Soulburn, Seed of corruption
Drain soul
This skill must be assigned to a key because it is used only when the target is below 20% health.
Feedback is welcomed, because I myself is not a professional macro maker, but please be gentle.
Thanks.
P/s: I would recommend everyone playing Affliction lock using Affdots addon, because it basically tells you about your DoTs’ condition.
