There are many addons that can help Warlock maximizetheir DPS or just make your life easier. Below is a list of addons thatboth increase the quality of your gameplay and the quality of life while playingthe game.

WeakAurasis an addon that allows you to track almost anything in-game, from boss abilitiesto personal buffs and debuffs. This is extraordinarily helpful as all specs ofWarlock, as this addon, once you import aWeakAura string will allow you to keep track of all your DoT's, cooldowns, ifyou have a pet out, if you're Soul Link and Fel Armor is on andmuch much more. Check out Wago, whichis a place where people publicly share their WeakAuras with a brief descriptionand example of their purpose.

Details providesa much more detailed combat log that can track damage done, application ofdebuffs, Interrupts, deaths, and much more. It is an extremely helpful toolto fully maximize your understandings of the game and can even help you trackyour damage spells to compare which is better and your uptime on DoT's, buffsand debuffs.

Included in Details is Tiny Threat, a very important tool that will help youkeep track of your threat, so you know when you need to Soulshatter.

Deadly Boss Modsis a great addon that has pre-made timers for boss abilities in nearly everyPvE encounter in the game. Deadly Boss Mods comes with plenty of customizationoptions, so you can configure it however it works best for you.

in addition to DBM's timers, the maker of the addon also hasDBM Voicepack VEMthat adds an audio cue to the notifications from Deadly Boss Mods.

Questie acts asa greatly improved quest log and quest helper, showing clear indicators on yourin-game map of where to go for quests and what your objectives for each quest are.

Bagnon is a greataddon that combines all your bags into one big bag, with many options to make theaddon look however you want and also a button you can press to sort the bag for you.

Doom Cooldown Pulseis a very helpful and subtle addon that flashes the spell icon of a the spell when it comesoff of cooldown. For example, when Hand of Gul'dan or Haunt comes off ofcooldown, a huge icon for that spell will briefly flash on your screen, making it significantlyeasier to track your big spells and cooldowns, so you know when to cast them again. There aremany settings that can change the size, flash, duration and more on the icon.

GTFO is an extremely helpful addonthat plays a very loud alarm sound when you're standing in anything that can hurt you, tellingyou to.. well, get the heck out of it. There are settings to make it louder, or not so loud aswell.

Sexymaps is a great cosmetic addonthat changes your mini map to pretty much whatever you want. They have many presets if you don'twant to mess with the settings yourself.

Leatrix Maps is anothergreat cosmetic addon that changes your world map to a very nice looking, clean world map.

Myslot is a mandatory addon forthose of us that play many specs and variations of specs. This allows you to export your keybinds,macros, actionbars and more and the import them to for example a new fresh character, so you nolonger need to spend more than 30 seconds to set up all your keybind and macros when you make thatfresh character.

Leatrix Plusallows you to automate many functions throughout the game like skipping NPCdialog, accepting a resurrection or summon, repairing your gear, selling vendortrash, and much more.

Item Rackprovides a quick and easy way to switch between single pieces of gear or entireitem sets. This is a very important for Demonology as you will be swapping geararound for Mastery Swaps and it's much smoother with more features than the ingame equipment manager

AtlasLootis a big addon that shows you all the loot in the game and where you can find it.You can do this in game with the dungeon journal as well, but it's not as smoothas AtlasLoot. You can also use this to see all the pvp items, how to get them andhow much honor or conquest you need, as well all the professions and even the materialsneeded to craft. It allows you to easily look up nearly every item in the game insteadof having to tab out. This is especially useful to see what drops from a specific bossand plan out ahead of time what items you want.

ElvUI is acomplete UI overhaul and is extremely customizable. This will allow you todo anything and everything to your UI, with imports located onWago if you don't want tomove it all around yourself.

Threat Platesor Platerare both addons for customizing your nameplates, which is massive for Warlocks, as this isan easy way to keep track of all your DoT's and Debuffs on the targets. It offers a high amount ofcustomization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. With a veryminimal amount of effort, you can get huge amounts of information about a targetsimply by what their nameplate is showing through this addon.

Macros can make your life easier by combining certain spells and abilites to be able tobe used at once, for example, being able to use your trinket, racial cooldowns and spellsall with the press of one button! Or to be more Warlock specific, you can make a macrothat will cast Soulburn and the Summon Felhunter in one single press.There are many types of macros that can help maximize your damage, while also freeing upmany actionbar slots and keybinds.

For this reason, we recommend that you also read ourWarlock Macros page, in order to improve yourgameplay experience!
