Dorn Damage

• Dorn Nadur damage is based on WIS and CURRENT Mana. (Plus any +dorn gear you can get)
  • Gear must balance high mana with maintaining good hp/ac/Wis
  • Also - keep mana high while fighting! There's a big difference between casting dorn with 100mn vs 1500mn.

• There's a lot of gear which modifies Dorn that makes a HUGE difference:

a sliver of Banyan tree bark:  Affects damage of dorn nadur by 5.
Pyriscence:                    Affects damage of dorn nadur by 4.
a tiny sun/moonstone talisman: Affects damage of dorn nadur by 10
Amulet of Elemental Mastery:   Affects damage of dorn nadur by 10.
                               Affects cost of dorn nadur by -30.
Resurgence:                    Affects cost of dorn nadur by -5.
                               Affects wait time of dorn nadur by -1.
