[edit] 5 Energy Skills: Cost of none or 1 Point?
Some Skills that make other skills cheaper mention that the minimum cost for skills is 1. Will 5Energy Skills only cost the lifeloss? —Zerpha

- The description says Yes. I can't get on Guild Wars right now to check in actuality though. Even so, the amount of sacrifice makes this a waste if used on 5 energy skills. This skill should either be 10e, 1c, 10r to affect itself or have a much lower sac, IMO. RitualDoll 15:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- The energy saved makes it great for spamming, but the health sacrificed is just too high for it to work well, even if you're spamming life-stealing. -- Hercanic 11:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Tested, 5 NRG skills are free. Incidentally, with Masochism you GAIN energy casting low-cost skills. -- Arkhar 20:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The Health sacrifice is really too high to actually make use of this skill and as one of the previous posters mention above that even with using mostly all life stealing spells, the health sacrifice is too much.Highway Man 02:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- they should change this and vampiric spirit to affect spells and touch skills.70.100.85.205 23:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Anyother skill that benefits people with low maximum health.
- A sac of 15% on a char with 500 hp is 75 health so killing urself is easy here. Ninjas In The Sky 12:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hence the reason he said low maximum health. A 15% sac on a 105 hp char is 16 health, easily regainable with health regen. 68.196.242.88 21:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh lol, didn't see the maximum part, I thought he said ppl with low health. Ninjas In The Sky 16:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- On the other hand, this plus Masochism means you can keep casting spells like Jaundiced Gaze for free, or other life stealing spells like Vampiric Gaze that normally have high energy cost and fast recharge. Might be handy if you plan on spamming high-energy life-stealing spells, it should at least reduce the sacrifice enough so that monks would only have to heal you if you are actually being attacked. Would hurt if enemy stripped the enchant though. Oh, and if you've got a condition, this + masochism would make Angorodon's Gaze give you crazy energy back, maybe enough to make Vampiric Touch's energy cost usable for a primary necro, and since the touch is a Skill, you wouldn't trigger sacrifice from the Cultist's Aura, so it could be used to heal up after life sacrifices from other spells. - Elder Angelus 18:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reduced energy cost on cast, but no sac til completion
why does this happen?....it should give both on beginning of cast.74.186.169.130 22:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Because there used to be a bug that allowed this skill to dominate anyone in 2-3 seconds. Here's a video
- it does sac without completion... just use a different bug to accomplish the same thing as before. Video
[edit] Aura bomber
Since dark aura damage triggers on health sacrifice , this can be used with life steals for damage too.Farlong 13:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
