Primalist

Summons a totem that fires thorns at nearby enemies. You can have a maximum of two thorn totems by default.

Totems scale with your minion or totem stats, not your stats.
Added minion spell damage applies at 100% effectiveness for the Thorns fired by the Thorn Totem.

Thorn totems have 120 base health and last 6 seconds by default.

Skill tree: Summon Thorn Totem

The skill tree as it appears in game. A specialized skill gains one point per level up to level 20; the number on a connection shows how many points the previous node needs.

Hover or tap a node for its description. The number on a node is its maximum points.

All nodes as a list (24)
  1. Forested Expanse max 4

    You can have additional Thorn Totems active, but Summon Thorn Totem costs more mana.

    • +1 Maximum Thorn Totems
    • +25% Mana Cost
  2. Grove Mind max 1

    You summon your maximum number of Thorn Totems at once in a ring around the target location, but your maximum number of Thorn Totems is reduced and Summon Thorn Totem costs additional mana per additional totem summoned.

    • Totems Summoned In Ring At Location
    • -1 Maximum Thorn Totems
    • +15 Mana Cost Per Additional Totem Summoned

    Requires 3 points in Eternal Forest

    Thorn totems that would be created in innaccessible locations are not created at all, but still increase the mana cost.

  3. Memories of Eterra max 4

    You regain mana when a Thorn Totem dies or is unsummoned.

    • 3 Mana Gain

    Requires 2 points in Totemic Wisdom or 2 points in Forested Expanse

    You can only regain mana from Thorn Totems that were summoned directly.

  4. Totemic Wisdom max 5

    Summon Thorn Totem costs less mana.

    • +15% Mana Efficiency
  5. Venom Tipped Thorns max 4

    Thorn Totem hits have a chance to poison enemies.

    • +25% Poison Chance

    Requires 2 points in Totemic Wisdom or Pillars of Heorot

  6. Rotten Core max 1

    When Thorn Totems die or are unsummoned they release a Poison Burst, which deals a small amount of physical spell damage on hit and inflicts poison.

    Thorn Totem gains a Poison tag, but this does not affect the damage type of Thorn Totems' other abilities.

    • Poison Burst On Totem Death

    Requires 3 points in Lasting Affliction

    If you have the Pillars of Heorot node, 100% of Poison Burst's hit damage is converted to cold.

  7. Lasting Affliction max 4

    Poison and Frostbite inflicted by Thorn Totem last longer.

    • +12% Poison Duration
    • +12% Frostbite Duration

    Requires 2 points in Venom Tipped Thorns

  8. Pillars of Heorot max 1

    Thorn Totem's thorns gain a chance to freeze and 100% of their base physical damage is converted to cold damage. Consequently its damage now scales with your totems' increases to cold damage instead of physical damage.

    All poison chance is converted to frostbite chance for Thorn Totems.

    Thorn Totems have additional cold resistance.

    • 100% Base Physical Damage -> Cold Damage
    • Poison -> Frostbite
    • 30 Freeze Rate
    • +25% Cold Resistance

    Requires Winterwood or Venom Tipped Thorns

    Freeze rate grants a chance to freeze based on the enemy's health.

  9. Frost Attunement max 1

    Thorn Totem has a higher chance to freeze enemies, and a greater chance to freeze enemies for each point of Attunement you have.

    • +25% Freeze Rate Multiplier
    • +5% Freeze Rate Multiplier Per Point Of Attunement

    Requires Pillars of Heorot

    This scales with your attunement, not the attunement of your totems.

  10. Winterwood max 5

    Thorn Totem deals additional spell cold damage, including its own thorns.

    • +4 Spell Cold Damage

    Requires 2 points in On Astral Winds or Pillars of Heorot

    • -10% Projectile Speed

    Requires Torrent of Thorns or 2 points in Winterwood

  12. Torrent of Thorns max 3

    Thorn Totems have a chance to release twice as many thorns with each burst.

    • 7% Double Projectiles Chance
  13. Titan's Bane max 1

    Thorn Totems fire only one thorn with each burst, but they have massively increased cast speed, are more accurate with their thorns, and their thorns' hits deal more damage to rare enemies and bosses (multiplicative with other modifiers).

    • Single Projectile
    • 100% Increased Cast Speed
    • +80% Accuracy
    • +10% Thorn Hit Damage vs Rares and Bosses

    You summon Thorn Totem faster and all Thorn Totems have increased cast speed.

    • +10% Summoning Speed
    • +3% Thorn Totem Cast Speed

    Requires Oaken Protection or 2 points in Winged Thorns

  20. Oaken Protection max 5

    Thorn Totems have more health (multiplicative with other modifiers) and additional physical resistance.

    • +20% Maximum Health
    • +10% Physical Resistance

    Requires 2 points in Ancient Power or Frenetic Attunement

  21. Guided Thorns max 1

    Thorn Totem's thorns now seek nearby targets, but Thorn Totem has less cast speed (multiplicative with other modifiers).

    • Homing
    • -20% Cast Speed

    Requires 3 points in Oaken Protection

    This doesn't change the fact that multiple thorns cannot hit the same target

  22. Eternal Forest max 4

    Thorn Totems last longer and have more health (multiplicative with other modifiers)

    • 80% Maximum Damage Bonus fixed

    Requires 2 points in Lasting Affliction

    At 20 or more stacks this grants 80% more hit damage.

    If you have taken the Pillars of Heorot node, this node's effect depends on the number of Frostbite stacks on the target instead of the number of poison stacks.
