Sacrifice

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

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.
Damage to Self: 8%
