Reasons why Ritual Sacrifice won't work in PoE2
Update: with the arrival of 0.2.0E patch (April 11th), Herald of Blood will stop destroying the corpses of rare and unique enemies. With this change, Ritual Sacrifice will be possible to use on rare monsters, despite the explosion caused by the Herald of Blood.
Ritual Sacrifice is a skill available only to those who play the Huntress and have chosen the Ritualist ascendancy. It can be acquired after unlocking a node called As The Whispers Ask. This ability allows you to consume the corpse of a rare enemy to gain its modifiers for a while. The snag is that it may not work under certain circumstances.
The key phrase for this ability is to sacrifice the corpse. If a rare opponent does not leave a body, the skill will be unavailable despite defeating it. Ritualist strongly s bleed build, so if you use mainly this type of affliction, you may have another ability called Herald of Blood activated. Unfortunately, it causes a corpse to explode (after accumulating enough bleed damage). The same goes for other abilities, such as Decompose, if you are trying to play with poison. In general, all abilities that somehow interact with a dead body cause Ritual Sacrifice to be unusable, as this skill requires an intact corpse. Keep this in mind when building your character.
