• Death Pact
• Instant cast
• Drain vitality from an undead minion, healing the Death Knight for 50% of his/her maximum health and causing the minion to suffer damage equal to 50% of its maximum health.

Death Pact is a Death knight talent available at level 60. It sacrifices a portion of an undead minion's health in order to restore some health to the Death Knight.

Notes

This was a Death Knight ability in Warcraft III as well, where the highest level of the spell healed the death knight for 300% of the targeted unit's health.

• If cast while in a sanctuary and not in combat, the minion is not killed.

Patch changes

• Patch 5.0.4 (28 August 2012): Updated; no longer sacrifices the minion's total health. 
  
• Patch 3.3.3 (2010-03-23): Fixed a bug where Death Pact would not kill the ghoul while under the effects of Cyclone. 
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): This heal cannot be a critical. 
  
• Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Now grants 40% instead of 20% healing. This will no longer cause guards to attack the Death Knight.
