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.
- 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 will nullify experience loss in hell and nightmare difficulties.
- 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 has 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.
