Hi sifu sifu of D3,

Wanna ask how does throns damage works? Please Read carefully simply advise.
Let's say a character have 300 (thorns or reflect damage)

(incoming dmg) 1,000 the character will get hit 1,000 dmg and return 300dmg to attacker.

OR

(incoming dmg) 1,000 - 300 (thorns dmg) and the character will get hit 700 dmg because the another 300 dmg is return to the attacker?

how it works?
as i look through the item stats, you can stack up to have 20,000 reflect dmg.
so if my class have 20,000 reflect dmg, is that mean i can reflect all incoming damage and only take any dmg that is over 20,000 per hit?


advise tolong

u mean thorn?

yes thanks for the correction

think regardless of dmg receive, it will still reflect 300 dmg to enemies...

i think reflect/thorn are the same..
let say u have 10k thorn
incoming damage = 20k , ur hp deduct by 20k and the enemy receive 10k damage

no you are wrong.

if you have 10k thorn.

no matter what is the incoming damage, your enemy receives 10k damage.

even if the enemy deal 1 damage to you, they get 10k back.

thorn is not = reflect damage.

reflect damage on elites are like reflecting 5-10% of the damage back to you, if you hit them for 10k they return damage about 50-100 damage.

just curious, this thorn effect works on range enemy too?

thats for the clarification but i still don't find the answer truly yet.
does incoming dmg get deducted by the 'thorn dmg' and immediatelly hurt enemy back?

i dun think character have reflect damage ?

melee only

this means thorns are going to be less effective in end game.. if the dmg of thorns is the same regardless of the hitpoints/defence the enemy has.

if nt mistaken, u still receive full incoming dmg...
while enemy will receive the thorn dmg...

it would be imba if u dont receive damage..it would act like "free armor"...

thats right wanna confirm this lor

Put it simple, it is the dmg enemy get for touching you.

Thorn 1k means each hit they get 1k.

Seems fun but it works pretty on those small fellas only. The big ones are going to do so much damage, that thorns just help to inflict damage here and there.

I know they'll get 1k dmg if they touch you, but i want someone to confirm this, if they touch you 1k dmg, do u actually get no dmg at all? if they hit you below 1k and they themselves kena 1k dmg

you get damage la.

shiok oh if they hit and i don't get damage.

sure or not

you think logically lor. if Thorn you don't get damage then that would make you invulnerable, no?

if yes, thorn would be a freaking expensive stat, but it's rubbish no?
