Having reached level 60 on your first mage using a preset like Flamecaller, your next step may be moving to a custom build like the one described here.

Optimized macros allows you to focus on the battlefield and movement instead of keeping track of your whole spell rotation. And compared to the Flamecaller preset this build should increase your damage.

Another guide to the Pyromancer Warlock build can be found here[forums.thegharstation.com]

• Recommended Level 60+ mage spending your Mastery and Legendary Points (see Soul tree section) as you level up. Planar Attunement spent in Dusk tree (see Setting up macros section).
  
  
• It it possible to use this build from Level 1 but you will see a lot chat log warnings trying to use unknown abilities. Primarily spend soul points in the Pyromancer tree as you level up.

• Installing the Removebuff addon[www.cadrift.net] is highly recommended or you will see a lot chat log warnings. How to install addons[www.cadrift.net]
  If you want to try the build without this addon see the Setting up macros section.

Legendary: Firestorm, Internalize Charge, Fusillade

Magical Affinity, 5 points
Life Leech, 3 points
Lingering Pain, 2 points
Neddra's Grasp, 1 point

Biting Cold, 4 points.
Legendary: Elemental Forces

Final Breath, Healing Expertise, Mental Cynosure, Arcane Finesse, Phantom Stream

Key binding F1 - F4 to the hotbar as the image above shows is highly recommended for easy access to all macros during movement.

Always keep the Pyromancer's Armor active. This may seem obvious, but keep an eye on it as some elite bosses may actually remove it.

All macros starts with removal of any control and movement impairing effects. If triggered, press again for the macro to continue.

Shield
Activates the pyromancer absorption shield. Should always be active. Lasts 30 sec.

Healme
Cast Phantom Stream mastery skill on yourself to fully heal. Cooldown 1 min.

Volley
Cast Flame Volley on enemy, dealing damage while you move. Cooldown 1min.

Storm
Cast Fire Storm centered on your current target. Always keep this on the center mob when fighting multiple enemies. The spam macro below will cast Countdown, spreading it to other mobs caught in your Fire Storm. Lasts 30 sec. Cooldown 8 sec.

Neddra
Cast Dark Touch on enemy, and through the Healing Expertise mastery, also casts Neddra's Grasp and Life Leech. These powerful warlock spells deal damage, increase your damage to the enemy 20% and give you some healing. This should be cast on every enemy you fight, and ideally be recast every 10 second. Perfect for getting the attention of a single enemy, drawing it away from nearby mobs so you can safely cast your Fire Storm. Instant. Lasts 10 sec.

Fusill
Manages Heat Wave and casts Fusillade. Always recast Neddra before using this. This should be pressed twice at start and twice as soon the cooldown has passed. Let the Fusillade cast complete before doing anything else. First press manages Heat Wave, second press cast Fusillade, putting both on cooldown and removing the Heat Wave buff. The Fireball in your spam macro below will deal 75% extra damage over time when this is done. Here we use the Removebuff addon instead of the standard cancelbuff macro command (see Requirements section) to avoid chat log warnings. Cooldown 1 min.


Here we try to cast several spells sequentially. Whenever a spell is not on cooldown it will be cast, putting it on cooldown and letting the next spell be cast. Just spam the macro and recast the macros above as needed.

Nocind
This is your starting spam macro, without Cinder Burst. Since Cinder Burst have such long (5 sec) cast time, we better wait until the reactive pops, making it instant. When it pops, switch to spamming the Cind macro instead.

Cind
This is your main spam macro, with Cinder Burst. As long as you keep spamming this macro, the Cinder Burst reactive should pop and instantly fire. If you stop spamming for a while the Cinder Burst may go into the 5 sec cast, abort it by moving or jumping then switch back to the Nocind spam.


Shield
Neddra > Fusill (Heat Wave) > Fusill (Fusillade) > Storm
Neddra > Nocind (keep spamming until Cinder Burst reactive pops, press Neddra every 5-10 sec)
Neddra > Cind (main spam, press Neddra every 5-10 sec, press Fusill twice every 30 sec, recast Shield and Storm as needed)

Simply copy/paste each macro below into a new slot in the macro editor, save and drag the macro icon to your hotbar. You will find the Macro editor in the System icon menu or by pressing Esc.

The Fading Light ability on the third line of every macro is earned by spending Planar Attunement points in the Dusk tree. If you don't have this ability yet you should remove the line from every macro.

If you don't have the Removebuff addon and won't care about chat log warnings, you should change the sixth line in the Fusill macro to cancelbuff Heat Wave
