Sadist

Melee attacks deal additional fire damage to burning targets, poison damage to poisoned targets and physical damage to bleeding targets

Sadist is a gift bag talent, added by the Divine Talents feature.

Overview

Sadist adds bonus elemental damage to melee attacks against targets suffering from specific status effects: bonus fire damage to Burning targets, bonus poison damage to Poisoned targets, and bonus physical damage to Bleeding targets.

Strategy

Sadist rewards a debuff-then-strike playstyle, pairing naturally with the  Torturer talent, which allows Burning, Poisoned, and Bleeding to be applied through armour.
The bonus damage scales with level, making it increasingly valuable in the later acts.
Melee Warfare builds that create fire or poison surfaces (via Pyrokinetic or Geomancer spells) can trigger Sadist consistently.
