I've found that for farming certain areas, especially Duncraig, once you're done prebuffing you can weapon switch to a Hidden Crafted Scythe, or Prince of Nothing if you find one. Then using Sacrifices can net you some really powerful Reanimates in preparation for starting farming in an area, after which you can switch back to your primary weapon.

It's also really useful on summoning ubers. This tactic coupled with temporarily equipping Hidden Shrined equipment and using Sacrifices as a precursor for summoning Ubers can make things go 10x easier without needing to respec to summons. This really helps when it comes to being able to get trophies from Ubers like Judgement Day.

. Is it supplemented in other areas, or do you just accept the sacrifice for higher killspeed?

Hibagon
can be used for the sacfice idea, reanimates are tanky and help alot. I used hibagon fo assur farm since he was not able to kill titans. You have to try different items for dunc but if you ask me farm TA and forget about dunc. Drops in TA are more and its safer(this is due to my personal exp).
