Destruction Warlock PvP Useful Macros — 12.0.5
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 Destruction Warlocks can benefit from.
This page is part of our Destruction Warlock PvP Guide.
Collection of PvP Macros for Destruction Warlock
Fear 123 Macro
Fear Arena1 Macro
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.
Cursor Cataclysm Macro
Cataclysm Mouseover Macro
Using this macro will cast
Cataclysm at your cursor without loading
the green circle, making sure it casts faster than it otherwise would.
Fear Focus Macro
Fear Focus Macro
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.
Spell Lock Focus Macro
Spell Lock Arena1 Macro
This macro will use
Spell Lock on whichever enemy you have
on focus. Because you will be primarily using
Spell Lock on the
enemy healer, you should only need this focus macro.
Havoc Focus Macro
Havoc Arena1 Macro
This makes it so you can use
Havoc on your focus target
while still damaging your main target.
Mouseover Banish Macro
Mouseover Banish Macro
This makes it so you can use
Banish on another Warlock's demon or
an elemental pet while still damaging your main target.
Cursor Shadowfury Macro
Shadowfury Mouseover Macro
This makes it so you cast
Shadowfury at your cursor without loading
the green targeting circle, making your globals smoother and more fluid.
Cursor Infernal Macro
Summon Infernal Mouseover Macro
This makes it so you cast
Summon Infernal at your cursor without loading
the green targeting circle, making your globals smoother and more fluid.
