I basically want to kill off the highest pet to use soul extraction on him during the down times. But all I know how to do is kill ALL my pets. Dismissing a single pet prevents me from using this power.

So whats the secret.

There isn't any secret, I think killing all of your pets is the only way to force it to happen. (Other than sending one of them in all by themself)

Hrm, I'm gonna bet (hope/ pray) there is a macro to just kill one pet by name or something. If so then they need to change it where targeting a pet will automatically kill it and convert it. Which would make more sense. Suggestion and Idea forum here I come.

I asked the same question in game and a previous thread about 6 months ago and nobody knew of a way back then.

There is a macro for this, I just cannot remember it offhand - it sticks out because I can remember how crazy awesome it was to just hit a button and the lich would die, then I could extract the new ghost and resummon the lich.

I just can't remember it for the life of me though (its been like 3 years since I played the toon, and hes long since been deleted) - maybe Zombie Man or someone who plays a necro knows more. I'll see if I can find the info, it was on these boards that I discovered it.

/Dismiss makes a pet go away and there's no body left behind to use, but you can be selective and not get rid of all of them.

/Releasepets kills all of them and leaves a body you can use, but you can't be selective. It affects all, even those from Traps or DM etc...

This as a macro or bind may help (with quotes).

/macro Whatever "petcom_pow Zombie dismiss$$petcom_pow Grave dismiss$$releasepets"

It will get rid of all your necro pets, but leaves behind only the body of the Lich. You'll still have to resummon and rebuff all of them afterwards but it helps to Soul Extract the Lich.
