Destruction Warlocks can significantly increase their damage during burst phases by combining multiple offensive cooldowns and trinkets. Macros streamline this process, allowing you to activate several abilities with a single keypress. This ensures optimal damage output during critical moments in combat.

Why should I use a burst macro as a Destruction Warlock?
Burst macros allow you to activate multiple offensive cooldowns and trinkets simultaneously, maximizing your damage during critical windows. This is essential for competitive DPS in raids and dungeons.
What is the '/use 13' command in these macros?
The '/use 13' command activates your top trinket slot. If you have a powerful on-use trinket equipped in that slot, the macro will use it. You can change it to '/use 14' for the bottom trinket slot.
Can I include other spells like Conflagrate in a burst macro?
While you can include other spells, it's generally not recommended for burst macros. Burst macros focus on instant-cast cooldowns and trinkets; weaving in cast-time spells can disrupt your rotation and lead to less optimal usage of your burst window.
