* 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.

Sacrifice[edit]

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

    • 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.
