Yeah, they suck. I know. But they're going to be improved. I stated this briefly as an aside in another thread, but I'll restate it here: thorns are going to be changed. It will likely be a more powerful reflect mechanic instead. So 20 thorn damage would become 20% reflected damage. Something like that. Still ironing out the final implementation.

Not a game-changer, but maybe it's time to start planning world domination with your 9000% thorn damage Druid.

Still going to be weak. You have to mitigate a lot of monster damage to survive late game. I take like 30-50 dps from stuff, 100 thorns = 30-50 dps.

You'd have to buff thorns like a full digit and then some. 1000 thorns = 300-500 dps which still doesn't seem like much if you stack 100 thorns.

Maybe like Iron Maiden...multiplied by a stat like agility, to make stat stacking more appealing?
