Sacrifice is a buff that allows your undead minions to be seen as corpses for the purposes of skills that interact with corpses, with the tradeoff being that it causes your minions to revive more slowly.
It can only be used on minions that have the Undeadmonster category and are reviving, like Skeletal Arsonists. It does not affect minions that do not fit both categories, such as Rhoa MountRhoa MountMinion, Buff, Companion, Persistent Tier: 14 Level: (1-20) Reservation: 60 SpiritHarnesses a Companion Rhoa you can mount while you're wielding a Bow or Spear.
