Description
The Spirit invoked by this skill bestows upon the Druid and his company the mystical ability to reflect damage back at any opponents who injure them.
Key details
- This Spirit bestows Thorns on the Druid and all in his party.
- This skill is largely ignored since the damage reflected is woefully inadequate to make it workable past normal difficulty.
- Level 20 of this skill reflects 430% damage.
- In comparison, the Paladin's Thorns reflects 450% at level 6 and 1010% at level 20, and the Necromancer's Iron Maiden reflects 450% at level 11, and 675% at level 20.
D2Emu Tips
- If you have Call To Arms, in order to maximize the spirit's efficiency, cast Battle Command before summoning the spirit, then cast it again after, so the spirit itself (its aura) also benefits from skill bonus.
- Patch 2.4: Spirit of Barbs Min Life and Max Life values are averaged to always be the same, accurate to the tooltip Aura no longer returns a percentage of damage when hit.
- As of 2.4, this skill deals flat damage (expressed in the tooltip as "Attacker Takes Damage of X") rather than returning a percentage of physical damage received.
