Curated for raid DPS — Hellcaller with Wither stacking on priority targets, Darkglare aligned to Bloodlust, and Soul Rot as an on-use damage amplifier during the burn phase. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.
Recommended raid build — Soul Harvester with Darkglare aligned to Bloodlust for peak single-target burst. Extends its lead over Hellcaller when cleaving a small number of targets or when quick AoE burst is involved in encounter phases.

Boss timers tell you when to hold Darkglare off movement mechanics and let you pre-stack DoTs before a burn phase so Darkglare lands on fully-stacked targets. Also flags incoming magic damage windows where Unending Resolve is worth spending.

For Affliction Warlock, maintaining DoT uptime while repositioning is the core tension — the audio alarm fires passively so you can react without shifting attention away from Soul Shard management and DoT refresh timing. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Malefic Rapture should be your highest-damage source — if Agony or Corruption lead instead you're capping Soul Shards without spending them, and low Darkglare contribution means DoTs weren't fully stacked when the cooldown was used.

Debuff timers on enemy nameplates so you can see which target needs a DoT refresh without tab-targeting. Across multiple targets this is the difference between clean Corruption/Agony/UA maintenance and accidentally dropping a DoT on the wrong target.

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — knowing when Bloodlust and external DPS buffs are available helps align Darkglare into the group burst window rather than burning it when nothing else is active. Also tracks kick cooldowns so your Spell Lock covers interrupt gaps.
