An eye for an eye is sometimes not enough. Those who would strike the emissaries of the Light had best take warning, for retribution shall be swift and certain. The might of your blows shall be felt a hundred fold unto you!

 

Thorns Information

Effect

• Enemies take damage when they cause melee damage to party members.
• Cast Delay: None

• 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 however, so consider using this when you are taking a lot of damage. If the monster is unable to hit you due to your high defense, high shield blocking, high level compared 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.

 

 First Level

• Radius (yards): 10.6
• Since Patch 2.4, the Aura returns a flat amount of damage on top of a percentage of damage received back to the attacker. Flat damage returned works like "Attacker takes x damage" attribute on gear, dealing X amount of damage even if the attacker misses, the attack is blocked or the damage is absorbed.
