These Affliction Warlock PvE macros are designed for WoW WotLK 3.3.5a and focus on DoT targeting, Haunt maintenance, curses, execute-phase Drain Soul, demon control and raid utility. They reduce unnecessary target switching and make Fear, Banish, Spell Lock, Devour Magic and pet support easier to use while keeping the Affliction priority under the player's control.
Use the exact spell, pet and item names from your client. Mouseover and focus macros require valid targets, while Felhunter and Succubus commands require the appropriate demon to be active. Test every macro on a target dummy or in a safe dungeon before using it in a raid.

How to use Affliction Warlock macros
Open the in-game Macros window, create a macro and paste the code exactly as shown. Place it on an action bar and bind it to a reachable key. The #showtooltip line displays the relevant ability icon and cooldown. For mouseover macros, hover the intended enemy or friendly target before pressing the button.
Focus Haunt, Fear, Banish and Spell Lock macros let you control a secondary target without losing the boss. Pet commands depend on the active demon and range: Spell Lock requires a Felhunter, while Seduction requires a Succubus. Confirm the demon and target before relying on utility.
Affliction Warlock PvE macro tips
Unstable Affliction, Corruption, Curse of Agony, Haunt and other DoTs should be maintained manually. Macros can make target switching faster, but they cannot decide when a DoT should be refreshed, when a snapshot is valuable or when Drain Soul should replace the normal filler.
Drain Soul is an execute-phase channel, so a mouseover version is useful for switching to a priority target but should not be spammed carelessly. Life Tap, Shadow Ward, Health Funnel and Demonic Circle are utility tools whose timing depends on raid damage, movement and available mana.
Use Curse of the Elements only when it is the correct curse for the group. Seed of Corruption is useful for planned area damage, while Fear, Banish, Devour Magic and Spell Lock should be bound where they can be reached without losing awareness of the boss.
Compatibility and troubleshooting
These macros target the WoW WotLK 3.3.5a macro system. Spell names, pet abilities and item names must match your client language, while private-server differences can affect protected actions, focus conditions and demon abilities. If a macro fails, test the spell alone, check the active demon and target range, and reload the UI after editing.
Macros cannot automate DoT priority, snapshot timing, Soul Shard decisions or cooldown management. Their purpose is to reduce targeting friction and make damage-over-time maintenance, pet control and crowd-control utility more consistent while leaving encounter awareness with the player.
