Sacrifice

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
Synergies: Points in these skills increase the damage done with Sacrifice.

Redemption: +15% Damage Per Level
Fanaticism: +5% Damage Per Level

Details: Sacrifice boosts the Paladin's damage and attack rating substantially, at a cost in blood. Each hit landed with this skill inflicts 8% of its damage on the Paladin.

To offset the damage to self, life leech equipment can come in very handy.
- Due to penalties to life leech in higher difficulties, at least 16% (Nightmare) and 24% (Hell) life leech is required to negate the HP loss.
- Life is reduced before life steal and Life Tap are applied. Thus using Sacrifice while at low HP can be fatal, even with sufficient life steal.
It's possible to kill yourself with Sacrifice, leading to the amusing "Paladin was slain by Paladin." death message in game.
- The game will recognize this as PvP, which nullifies experience loss in hell and nightmare difficulties.

Damage to Self:	8%

-* Damage overruns: the key difficulty in using this skill is that you only leech back life based on the monster's hit points, but you lose health based on the damage done.
-** Example: if you have 10% life leech and do 500 damage to a monster with 100 hit points, you'll leech back 10 hit points, but lose 8% of 500 = 40.
-** [[Physical]] [[resistances]] have the same effect: 100 damage to a monster with 50% physical resistance means you only leech life on that 50%, but lose Sacrifice on the full 100.
