In August 2015, Wyatt Cheng confirmed that the developers were planning to rework this set, using non-trivial findings and bonuses, possibly related to Crusader class skills. Originally, this set was intended to be (and, as of 2.4, finally is) the Crusader class set. This article contains information that is no longer relevant to gameplay, but is kept here for informational purposes. Heart of Iron, Sanguinary Vambraces, Vo'Toyias Spiker and Hack, as well as Boyarsky's Chip, work well with this set. The Bombardment procs from Belt of the Trove do trigger the damage reduction, so equipping the belt effectively grants permanent damage reduction in combat.įor the purpose of the last bonus only (67,500% damage hit), unlike most other instances of Thorns, the Elemental Damage of the additional damage type becomes Physical and can be increased by any effect that boosts Physical damage (such as +X% Physical skill damage).Īll Invoker items are guaranteed to roll Thorns damage as a secondary attribute. Multiple casts of Bombardment only refresh the second bonus it does not stack.

Blocking an attack also grants a stack, so a high blocking percentage is beneficial and maximizing block chance is advised. The Thorns damage buff stacks up to 10 times (not refreshing earlier stacks). The first bonus causes a splash of Thorns around the Crusader, not around the target (which coincidentally lines up with the Bane of the Trapped area of effect).

Thorns damage now hits all enemies in a 15-yard radius around the Crusader.The set consists of six pieces, all of which can be adapted for any class, and all six are required to complete it. Diablo II: Resurrected Review - Pile Of Old Bones
