Spirit of Barbs

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Spirit of Barbs is a level 30 skill from the Druid's Summoning Skill Tree.

Spirit of Barbs

Required Level: 30
Prerequisites:Oak Sage, Heart of Wolverine.
Details: This spirit bestows a Thorns aura on the Druid and all in his party. This skill is largely ignored since the damage reflected is woefully inadequate to make it viable past normal difficulty. Level 20 of this skill reflects 430% damage. In comparison, the Paladin's Thorns aura reflects 450% at level 6 and 1010% at level 20, and the Necromancer's Iron Maiden curse reflects 450% at level 11, and 675% at level 20.
