Sacrificial Pact is a level 54 death knight ability that sacrifices the death knight's ghoul to inflict AoE shadow damage to their enemies and heal themselves for a portion of their maximum health.

Tips and tactics

• For unholy death knights, it's recommended that you only use this ability if [Raise Dead] is close to or already off cooldown.
• Blood death knights arguably benefit the most due to their specialization being impacted the least by the loss of the ghoul. Sacrificial Pact also benefits from their [Vampiric Blood] ability, making for a potent self-heal in emergencies.

Patch changes

• Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Added.
