Haven't made a paladin on HU before now but...

Sacrifice is says ti gets to get a 30% damage bonus from zeal, yet at least the LCS says it doesn't. Did the string in the tbl file just not get removed? Did the synergy entry in skills.txt get missed? Is the LCS living up to its name?

Similarly, is the synergy from redemption properly received?
Just curious.

I just tested with Single Player, and I'm positive that Sacrifice gets the damage bonus from Zeal, but it's not being shown on the character screen.

I tested by making a lvl 33 char using the -act5 option. I set difficulty to /players8 and went out into the Blood Moor with lvl 1 Sacrifice. The char screen dmg was 7-27 or close, and it took about 17 hits to take down a quill rat. I then pumped Zeal to lvl 20, and was able to take down a quill rat in 1 hit, while the next rat took 2 hits. The char screen damage didn't change, and neither did the sacrifice %ED display. Sacrifice should have gone from 250% to 910%, so my char screen damage should have been about 25-110. After considering the amount a quill rat heals in 17 hits, I think it's reasonable to guess that Sacrifice really does receive a 30% damage bonus from Zeal.

This error is identical to the issue between Smite and Defiance, where the Defiance synergy doesn't show up in the character screen damage of smite, nor in the Smite skill display, but it does work as expected.

I decided to dig through the text files to try to understand what is going on.

In skillsdescrip.txt in the 'ddam calc1' and in 'desccalca2' columns it says this

ln12+skill('Redemption'.blvl)*par8+skill('Fanaticism'.blvl)*par7

while in skills.txt it in the calc1 column it says
ln12+skill('Redemption'.blvl)*par8+skill('Zeal'.blvl)*par7

which means that is should apply, but will not show, just as tested.

I would have to look a bit more in detail to see why Defiance and Smite have a similar issue. It wasn't quite this clear cut...maybe later.

edit: Also, Fanat may then give a fictitious bonus if I remember things correctly...
