Just to try something different, would it be possible to make a build using Sacrifice as a cornerstone/major component? This would be a Vitality-heavy build, I'm guessing... Thoughts on how this could be done?
I'm thinking it would probably be a support mage...

(I know this will never be as viable as a normal mage, I just want to try something new)

I don't recommend support, or energy healing for support purposes(I can explain why if you'd like), but I can help you if you'd want to do this.

For the build I would recommend 50/50 vit/focus, and I would recommend using energy boost too, and I would recommend the ancient breastbone helm(free +120 energy from sacrifice without losing any extra hp). Direct bonuses to sacrifice are very useful, use any gear with it(hrung helms/mordy braces). One more note, using a skull may drain your hp too fast(I noticed this with a shadow skull, and I never put a point in sacrifice). If you are losing hp too fast use energy shield(it can drain the "health" from the energy shield instead of you.)

Here's how id set up the skills if I did it. In order of priority.

#1 sacrifice(cause it's the build)

#2 energy boost(cause it's another energy heal skill to support with)

#3 energy shield(saves you from hp drain somewhat)

#4 energy well(gives more max energy to people(bad skill but it is energy support))

#5 lure of assassins(every support mage should have this, 2(3 if spear warrior)/5 classes use pierce damage)

Being energy support isn't viable, but it is possible.

I wouldnt recommend either, Id recommend Sacrifice as support skill with perhaps e.shield (thats what one of the support mage alt we had did, took heavy sacrifice/e.shield gear, had the less common lures and had firebolt + inc for dps).

I was thinking along lines of a summoner mage. Casts minions to fight for you. But feels like it may be an awkward implementation.

Op is talking about stuff thats already implemented in the game
