Lightning Thorns
Just started my hardcore cruel act3 with ranger+cyclone...
used it in battleground.. and oh jes, had 0 hp left. Considering 75% resistance and 2.2k hp, i was using cyclone on 3(!!!!!!!!) targets that couldn't possible dmg me more than 5% of my health. Hopefully i didn't die, but that was harsh, seems like a hard bug. So i went and googled this thread, is there a special topic\place where we should place such reports, or developers read this thread? Cycloning like 4-5 mobs with this buf will turn u instadead, shouldn't there be a cooldown considering high attackspeed, therefore high number of activations of this buf? |

well i just died to lightning thorns too.. i was wondering why i get so much damage and later i died to some small group of those monekys with full light res and 80+ armor reduction.. used cyclone and died insta .. sux hope they fix soon, sad my char dead now..

just died in battlefront on hardcore cruel using cyclone + tons of IAS
cyclone cant be used on that map and on the barracks map too, seems retarded to me but anyway 75% lighting resist, the reflected damage is way too high or it ignores resists cant imagine what will be on merciless :) Last edited by sgolemanov#5284 on Mar 23, 2013, 2:35:29 PM

" I don't know if it's just me but I feel it reflects more than just lightning damage.. it seems more on the lines of, if you're a melee and you hit something with lightning thorns on it, you're going to die. | |
Yeah i agree with guy above me, feels like poping granits before going in manmode melee against lit thorns helps lowering the damaged reflected back at you.
100% sure its only lightning damage? IGN: COCBOYbEaUtY

Yeah, I've got 5.2k hp as a facebreaker and 85% lightning resist. I still die if I'm not careful with lightning thorns. =.= If it was able to be mitigated by physical damage, I wouldn't have to worry about it with 15k armour/39k granite.

Reflects Damage on Melee Attacks only?
Not true. I just faced some of those blackguard mages on mud geyser map and killed myself with lightning arrow. 1 Shot in a group of 2-3 buffed enemies was all it takes to suicide. Warbands IGN:

Just got almost killed by that with Freeze pulse
Appearently it reflects now spells (GML+FasterProj+FasterCast+FP) never played melee and thought this aura does nothing, sth has changed? | |
Yeah....
"The Lightning Thorns skill, as cast by the Blackguard Mages, now does lightning damage to ranged as well as melee attackers. It does less damage than before. The casters have to be closer to use it and have a reduced chance to cast it." rollback? :D |
