Sacrifice

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%
