Spirit of Barbs

PATCH 20261101.12026-11-02T07:17:50.548Z

What it does Monsters that strike you take 240% of the damage back, and Wolverine's bonuses stay.

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Evolution requirements

• Evolution An evolution: it comes from a chest, never from a level-up card. Evolved from H Heart of Wolverine Catalyst R Replenish Life From character level 30

Synergies and practical checks

• Each hit you take sends its share back as physical damage on up to 3 monsters in reach of you, whoever struck: an arrow’s comes back on the monsters beside you, not the archer. With none beside you, nothing comes back.
• A blow your shield blocks sends its share back too.
• Spirit of Barbs from an item’s charges, such as Wisp Projector’s, works as in Diablo II: only a melee blow sends its share back, onto the monster that struck, 50% and 10% more a charge level ( 110% at level 7). Gear’s +skills don’t raise it.
• Each level gear’s +skills add makes your own Spirit of Barbs’ thorns and Heart of Wolverine’s damage and Attack Rating bonuses 15% of their own bigger.

Skill modifiers

• Thorn Nova — The damage it returns is saved and let out every 2 seconds in a nova around you.
• Vengeance — It returns 2.5 times the damage while you are below 40% life, and 20% less above.
• Bramble — It returns damage to up to 6 monsters in reach instead of 3, each taking three quarters.
