By sanctifying his weapon with some of his own blood, a Paladin of Zakarum is able to increase his efficiency in combat by forfeiting a portion of his own physical essence. This sacrifice is a symbol of faith that even the lowliest Paladin must submit before the Light, in order that he may prove himself worthy of victory. Detail Stat Value +% Attack Rating 13 + (7*slvl) +% Damage 165 + (15*slvl) +% Damage (15*Redemption.blvl) + (5*Fanaticism.blvl) % Damage to Self 8 Although player always bleeds when using Sacrifice, damage to self is only applied if it hits and applies physical damage. Damage to self is based on actual physical damage, not potential physical damage: attacking an Immune to Physical target results in no damage to self; if 1,000 physical damage can be applied but it only takes 100 physical damage to kill the target, damage to self is 8, not 80. [1] The following do not apply to Sacrifice's physical damage and thus they do not apply to damage to self either: Damage to Demons Damage to Undead [2] Critical Strike Deadly Strike [3] Neither point nor percentage damage reduction is applied to damage to self, so they won't reduce it. [4] Damage Resist -% from Amplify Damage and Decrepify isn't applied to damage to self, so being cursed won't increase damage to self (although cursing targets will increase damage to self, since DR % is reduced and thus physical damage is increased). [5] Both % Life Stolen per hit and Life Tap are applied after damage to self: if damage to self reduces life below zero, death will occur before healing. [6] It is safest to assume that maximum life is effectively reduced by 8% of maximum physical damage, and best to minimise the range between minimum and maximum physical damage. Due to the impact of difficulty level penalties and drain effectiveness on Life Stolen per hit, casting Life Tap is strongly recommended.
