Banish (Focus)

Banishes your focus without touching your current target. Banishing the demon you are supposed to be killing is a classic mistake this makes impossible.

Where to paste this

Type /macro (or press Esc → Macros) to open the macro window.
Choose "General Macros" to share the macro across all characters, or "<Character> Specific Macros" to keep it on one character.
Click New, pick an icon — the "?" icon plus #showtooltip makes the button mirror whatever spell it will cast — and name the macro.
Paste the macro body into the text area, then drag the macro icon onto an action bar.
Bind the action bar slot to a key as usual; the macro fires on key press.

More WoW macros

Warlock macros first, then the rest of the WoW library.

Agony (Mouseover)
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Agony
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Agony
```
Applies Agony without changing target. Agony ramps over time, so getting it onto every target as early as possible is worth real damage.
All-in-One Pet Summons
Warlock
```
/cast [mod:shift] Summon Imp; [mod:ctrl] Summon Succubus; [mod:alt] Summon Voidwalker; Summon Felhunter
```
Summons your Felhunter by default, with Imp, Succubus and Voidwalker on Shift, Ctrl and Alt. Four summons on one key, which is worth it given how often you swap.
Burst Window
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Summon Darkglare
/cast Summon Darkglare
/use 13
```
Fires your damage cooldown with your first trinket. Swap Summon Darkglare for Summon Demonic Tyrant or Summon Infernal to match your specialisation.
Command Demon
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Command Demon
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Command Demon
```
Fires whichever pet ability your current demon has — Spell Lock on a Felhunter, Axe Toss on a Felguard — through the single Command Demon button, aimed at your focus.
Corruption (Mouseover)
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Corruption
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Corruption
```
Spreads your damage-over-time effect onto a hovered target. Affliction lives on keeping dots up across a pack, and this removes the target swaps that cost you casts.
Demonic Circle Set / Teleport
Warlock
```
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Demonic Circle: Teleport; Demonic Circle
```
Plants your circle normally and teleports to it while Shift is held. The two halves of the ability are never useful at the same time, so one key covers both.
Fear (Focus)
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Fear
/focus [mod]
/stopmacro [mod]
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Fear
```
Fears your focus target, and sets your current target as focus while a modifier is held. Fear breaks on damage, so keeping it off your damage target is essential.
Healthstone or Potion
Warlock
```
#showtooltip Healthstone
/use [button:2] Algari Healing Potion; Healthstone
```
Uses your Healthstone on left-click and a healing potion on right-click, keeping both emergency buttons in one slot.
