Targeting and features
Shift and demon present: Demonic Sacrifice → Otherwise: no cast
ModifierPet
Requirements
- Learned Demonic Sacrifice; the source records its first rank at level 20. Each higher rank must be learned separately.
- An actual point in the Demonic Sacrifice talent (Demonology) and its prerequisites; selecting a recommended spec alone does not grant it.
- Summoned, living demon; inspect the current Forever talent tooltip before choosing which demon to sacrifice.
Known limitations
- Research-supported design for beta 1.60.1.70009; no recorded in-client macro tests. English spell names require localization on other clients.
- Modifier keybindings can intercept the combination. Spell selection is manual; an unlearned or unavailable modifier action does not fall back to the default spell.
- The demon is sacrificed. The result depends on demon type; the Forever effects differ from Classic. Baseline summoning ends the buff; actual Demonic Pact preserves it when summoning a different demon, but not the sacrificed type.
- No health, pet injury or talent checks are performed by this macro.
Notes
- Spell IDs identify the sourced first-rank reference; unranked names request the learned rank selected by the client. A spellbook tab is not a specialization lock.
- Talent and level records are provisional beta extraction, not proof of spell acquisition.
