Sadly, I deleted this char already, but it was in the very firsts acts, my first char, so no any complication. No any autocast as in that thread, I just could cast it on my minions and totems as if I had this node.
I’m seeing the same basic issue: I have Ice Thorns specced with Thorn Barrier, but do not have Protector’s Briar. Ice Thorns is preferring to cast on the friendly target closest to my cursor (companion or totem).
