FAQ

Why should I use macros as a Destruction Warlock?

Macros help Destruction Warlocks optimize their spell casting, especially during crucial burst phases or when quick defensive reactions are needed. They reduce the number of keybinds required for complex actions, making gameplay more fluid and efficient.

Can I combine multiple offensive spells into one macro?

Yes, you can use /castsequence to combine multiple offensive spells. However, be mindful of cooldowns and global cooldowns (GCDs to ensure the macro functions smoothly without interrupting your rotation. Optimal spell combinations respect these mechanics.

How do I create a target of target macro for my Destruction Warlock?

A target of target macro can be created using [@targettarget]. For example, /cast [@targettarget,harm,nodead] Immolate would cast Immolate on your target's target if it's hostile and alive. This is useful for maintaining damage on specific enemies without switching your primary target.
