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?

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.
