Demonology Warlock PvP Useful Macros — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0.1)
Macros are crucial to be successful in PvP. They allow players to use abilities on enemies without having to target them. This helps increase overall damage/healing and general awareness in the arena. Here are a few macros that all Demonology Warlocks can benefit from.
This page is part of our Demonology Warlock PvP Guide.
Fear 123 Macro
- #showtooltip Fear
- /cast [target=arena1] Fear
Using this macro will cast 
Fear on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to crowd control an enemy while staying focused on
your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Fear Focus Macro
- #showtooltip Fear
- /cast [target=focus] Fear
If you find that you do not have much room on your action bars, you
can use a focus macro. This is much simpler to use than the arena123
macro. Put an enemy on focus and this macro will cast Fear
on that player while you are still focused on your target.
Axe Toss Focus Macro
- #showtooltip Axe Toss
- /cast [target=focus] Axe Toss
Put an enemy on focus and this macro will use 
Axe Toss
on that player while you are still focused on your target.
Mouseover Banish Macro
- #showtooltip Banish
- /cast [@mouseover] Banish
This makes it so you can use 
Banish on another Warlock's demon or
an elemental pet while still damaging your main target.
