Skill Design

Unrelenting Assault is a useful skill, when looked at right. For example, to Summon Zombie Dogs it costs 10 health at rank one, and is tier I spell, which means that the health cost will probably scale per rank, making summoning dogs quite troublesome, but not with this skill. Also, if a particular tough enemy dispatches your dogs quite fast, then re-summoning is not advised, but Sacrificing newly reborn dogs is. Furthermore, it is unknown if dogs that were sacrificed will be resurrected.
