In the new patch notes it says:

The monster affix "Thorns" has been renamed to "Reflects Damage"

Wondering if the way to calculate the damage reflected stays the same as it was with thorns
I did not find thorns very attractive since the damage used to be a fixed number

The phrase "Reflects Damage" open the possibility to be a variable number, depending on how much damage our char is taking. I have had a lot of fun in other games playing Vitality-%Reflect Damage builds for PvP and for some boss hunts

Certain rare mobs have affixes or Monster Attributes that say certain things like for example, 'Fear on hit', which means the mob will fear you sometimes, when you hit it.

The thorns that has been renamed is similar to the 'Fear on hit' effect. It has nothing to do with how thorns work, it's just been renamed.

But maybe the way thorns work changes for mobs though, but I doubt it, otherwise it's basically a percentage of the mob's total health which will damage you eventually.


Edit: The 'Fear on hit' is actually called 'Nightmarish' as an affix.

yep, it would be an extremelly difficult affix to face

Maybe the Monk could dodge reflected damage (?)
