[2020] Skeleton Mage > Sacrifice

Thanks for the post!

To clarify the behaviour here, it is intended that when you trigger a skill, your tree is utilized. We are working to make this clear where it shouldn’t happen, i.e. by renaming skills.

The same isn’t true of your minions using abilities; they don’t have your specialization trees. They are considered allies of you, but they do not count as being you. To offer an example of this, equipping a weapon with the Health on Melee Hit affix will not cause your minions to heal you (or themselves). This is the same logic - they do not have it equipped.
