EDIT 12/23/17: OMG EVERYTHING NEW! SO MUCH NEW!
Wither and waste away your foes by turning their own souls against them. Their agony is your triumph.

This macro focuses on the up-time of your most important dots, filling in the downtime with powerful Drain Soul. Since target switching and multi-dotting are the hallmarks of the Affliction spec, this macro prioritizes your ability to do just that, all while keeping your mobility options open.
Macro Notes
This macro uses talent choices that are designed to work best in all situations. Other talents, such as Writhe in Agony or Death’s Embrace have been passed over in favor for a more solid kit whatever you are doing, eliminating the need for talent changes. This means you might find better numbers by choosing these talents, but only in certain situations, and will experience an overall loss of DPS compared to my setup.
I have also designed this macro to be spammed at 80ms, 100ms, or manually tapped.
If you find yourself low on health, hold ALT and spend a cycle Draining Soul. In an AoE encounter, hold ALT after some dots.
Talents and Explanation
Malefic Grasp – Our new stand-out talent. While Writhe in Agony has some merit in council or AoE fights, Malefic Grasp has superior targeted DPS. It also reduces your ramp up time, will pops Seeds of Corruption faster, and can help generate Soul Shards.
Contagion – I go back and forth on this, but for the moment I’m suggestion Contagion. You will see some loss of DPS if you aren’t on your Unstable Affliction casts, but if you can keep it up, this is the way to go.
(Your Choice) – Choose what you prefer. Demonic Circle is my choice.
Sow the Seeds – The difference of DPS between Soul Harvest and Phantom Singularity is really not all that much. As a CD SH isn’t that great. As a dot PS is even worse. Sow the Seeds, however, will benefit greatly in an AoE situation and since that’s most of our encounters it should be taken.
(Your Choice) – Choose what you prefer. Burning Rush is my choice.
Grimoire of Supremacy – This is your versatility. Both the Doomguard and Infernal beat the other talents here in Single Target and AoE, respectively. Speccing into this talent not only utilizes that DPS, but allows you to adjust between ST and AoE by choosing the pet instead of the talents. The macro will replace your Doomguard should he die or disappear, but will allow you to have your pet of choice out if you’re running something else. The AoE macro will summon your Infernal if you don’t already have a pet out or it dies.
Soul Conduit – With the changes to macro and its flow it should make better use of Soul Conduit’s shard production. As a result it produces better DPS than either of the other talents in this tier. Extra resources are never a bad thing and help keep the macro running smoothly.
Known Issues
- RNG - Unstable Affliction/Shard use can be a bit random. This evens out over longer fights, but can be an issue in short ones.
DPS Numbers
Giving my numbers, in most cases, is not helpful. You will have different gear, different Artifact talents, or different buffs. Instead, I sim my character and attempt to get my macros as close to “Expert” level numbers as possible, which should translate accurately for everyone. Right now, this macro is now within 6% of “Expert” level sims.
BONUS – ADDONS
Advanced Interface Options (POSSIBLE DPS INCREASE)
Users have reported that by installing this addon and unchecking the item “Secure Ability Toggle” you will see a DPS increase. Your mileage may vary.
