Affliction Warlocks benefit from burst rotation macros by consolidating multiple offensive cooldowns and trinkets into a single keybind. This allows for rapid deployment of damage amplification, optimizing the short windows available for maximum sustained DPS. These macros help ensure all available damage modifiers are activated in the correct sequence for optimal burst.

Why should I use a burst macro as an Affliction Warlock?
Burst macros help Affliction Warlocks maximize their damage output in short windows by chaining together powerful cooldowns and trinkets. This ensures all buffs and abilities are activated quickly and in the correct order, leading to higher sustained DPS over a fight.
Can I include my racial ability in these macros?
Yes, you can easily add your racial ability to burst macros. Simply add a line like '/cast Berserking' (for Trolls) or '/cast Arcane Torrent' (for Blood Elves) after your trinket usage and before other spells.
What do the numbers like '/use 13' mean in the macros?
The numbers refer to equipment slots. '/use 13' activates the trinket in your top trinket slot, while '/use 14' activates the trinket in your bottom trinket slot. It's a convenient way to integrate trinket usage without needing to specify the trinket's name.
