Towards the beginning of the start of the seasonal aspect of Diablo 3 there used to be a pretty decent Sacrifice Witch Doctor Build. I have not seen it being used since. Can Sacrifice still be a viable skill to use? If not, what would your thoughts be on having a new set or a reworked set specifically for a sacrifice build? Maybe add it Zunimassas set? Or Helltooth?
Sacrifice would be a viable tool to utilize for Provoke the Pack skill rune. Sadly there are not many builds that can include it and not lose power in comparison to picking another skill though.
I think a LoD or LoN build can be made focused on Sacrifice but you would need another skill to abuse, as sustain of Zombie Dogs would be pretty slow even with Homunculus. Once all 4-5 dogs are spent on Sacrifice by Provoke or For the Master, their replenish would be pretty slow and you have to await 4-6 seconds to pass for spamming it again. Next of Kin skill rune can be fine but won’t deal damage as the other two as you may have guess.
I don’t think that’s coming any time soon. As I remember Helltooth used to empower Sacrifice but it’s removed some years ago. Now all you have are creating a LoD or LoN build. I don’t think they would retract a change they have decided years ago at this point either so it’s useless to request or demand it to happen.
What you can do is trying to create a LoD or LoN build then note your findings here for developers to consider later. In theory you can create a channeling build with LoD and include Sacrifice as an utility skill. It can not be the main course of any build at this point.
