- We can learn much from the elder vine, which threatens with barbs the hand that would trim it back.[1]
Thorns is a Balance, Feral, and Restoration druid PvP talent, available at level 35. It applies a buff on a friendly target that causes enemies to take Nature damage when they deal melee damage to the target.
Notes and trivia
- The Azerite essence power [Conflict] grants this talent when used by a Balance or Feral druid.
- When Thorns deals damage, it can trigger procs such as [Ancient Flame].
- Thorns will act as a buffer against dispels in PvP, giving enemies a chance to dispel your Thorns instead of some more important buff.
- Thorns can be useful when being attacked by an enemy that has very low health, as they will often die quickly from the Thorns damage without requiring your attention.
- During the Legion alpha, the honor talent was named Razor Thorns.[2]
