Description
When active, aura reflects damage done to you back at your attacker.
Key details
- Player vs Player: Thorns will do 1/8th the damage.
- This aura will do severe damage to any monster or player that hits the Paladin with a Melee attack.
- Thorns will only work if the enemy actually hits you, so consider using this when you are taking many damage.
- If the monster is unable to hit you because of your high defense, high shield blocking, high level relative to the monster, or because you kill them before they are able to attack you, consider using a different aura.
- This Aura also works well in parties against any monsters that may hit your party members.
D2Emu Tips
- The Runeword Edge (missile weapons with 3 sockets) grants a level 15 Thorns aura.
- Patch 2.4: Thorns Now deals a flat amount of damage when attacked in addition to returning a percentage of damage taken to the enemy when hit.
- As of 2.4, this skill deals a combination of "% Damage Returned" and flat damage (expressed in the tooltip as "Attacker Takes Damage of X") rather than returning only a percentage of physical damage received.
