This aura causes the Paladin to shine with an inner, holy light. While it is quite effective at this, like all other skills only affecting undead, it is very situational, and it is hard to create a build around it as many monsters are in fact not undead.

But it might prove more useful for other people. Sanctuary is a damage aura, but in the spirit of the Paladin, it only works against Undead. So for me personally fixing the bug would only make it viable in one additional area (I'd use it instead of Fanaticism for Pindle), I still wouldn't use it anywhere else that I don't normally use it.

Removing the knockback would be cool for melee but at the same time a double-edged sword, it would remove the crowd-control aspect which would bother a lot of people.

Fully loaded, the Lightning Sorceress fulfills the end-game fantasies of extremely high mobility, incredible top-end Damage, capability of killing nearly all mobs, and both. Sadly I think it'd be pretty much useless for Arcane Sanctuary, while it'd remove the ghosts physical immunity and increase your damage/AR the knockback would just knock them out of range, off the platform so no drops, etc. The Lightning/Chain Lightning Sorceress is the most versatile Sorceress build in the game capable of decimating any Hell area while particularly excelling at Baal Running, Uber Key Farming, and Arcane Sanctuary Farming. If it gets fixed I think it'd probably be most applicable for a Pindle zealer or something, the entrance is a pretty tight corridor so the knockback shouldn't be a huge issue.

It'd help but I still don't think I would use it, the knockback gimps it a lot for most melee builds (besides charger) since mobs get knocked out of range constantly, which is pretty annoying especially for zealers.
