Comment:
· This is an active skill, which has 2 different effects depending on the caster pressing left or right click. P2 and P3 are 2 different passives skills below this in skill tree.
· The additional damage from bone break effect pales in comparison with the Ghoul Dance effect. However, the additional damage is generally not significant in normal PVE situation unless in dungeons with nerf stats (darklair, dragon exploration etc). Skill with high hit count benefits more from Ghoul Dance.
· Again, the healing effect of Ogre Dance puts the Sacrifice of Alchemist to shame. The healing effect can be augmented by the Summon Genie which +80% vit of all party members.

Comment:
· It's similar to the finishing attack of gladiator. However, this applies to the whole party and it is not for just a single hit.
· After 9th Jan update, the HP 50% or below restriction for this buff to work is removed. This make the buff even more useful in general. The CD reduction from 120sec > 90sec is very good too.
· You can reach the 70% additional damage if the target has below 46% of HP (assume lv4).
· The additional damage from this buff does not count towards the limit of other damage debuff such as haemorahage, mirror, bull's eye etc. Therefore, the buff pushes the overall party DPS beyond the current capacity.
· The technique accessories for P1,P2 and P3 are different.
