part 3, Thorns Skills: Diablo III: The BIG Thorns Guide Part 3 - Thorns Skills

I've been doing some in-depth calculations on some builds and realized that video like this one would be very useful for a lot of people. There's no basic Thorns guide on the whole internet! There's tonns of written information, very contradictory, and at most = outdated. Also a lot of Invoker and LON Bomb guides which just scratch the surface a little. But there's no BASIC THORNS guides explaining how thorns works, where does THORNS DAMAGE come from and how it scales with the gear, gems and skills. Most likely this will become the most comprehensive and complete Diablo 3 Thorns guide on youtube and the web itself. I think it will be much better and easier to watch a few videos instead of reading and digging reddit and different diablo forums for hours and hours, gathering small pieces of "not-so-correct" information.
Instead of doing one SUPER HUGE video, i will separate the "BIG" guide into several smaller ones. This one would be the biggest i guess
In this video i will explain where basic Thorns pool comes from and how you can multiply and increase your thorns damage.

Please let me know in comments if you liked the guide so far!

There are comments that the +20% Physical Damage found on Swapland Waders, SoJ, bracers & ammy does not actually aid thorns. The belief that this PD boost does work springs from the Physical Damage cycle of the CoE - which apparently is not really done (software) as PD but as a separate boost. A good (10 runs) test of 'time to clear' between a thorns build without additional PD on those 4 slots versus 'time to clear' with the added PD would seem to belong in the 'one true guide to thorns'

Alas, I just finished SJ (do not change builds during seasons! and start on time too) and in celebration, wiped out my 3 thorns toons, otherwise I would do the test....if the season had run to at least 30 October, then I would have done so....oh well

So will you answer this interesting question??

All physical damage% benefits thorns, SOJ, Swampland Waders, COE .. anything.

I also calculated Swampland Waders vs Hexing Pants for LON build and Hexing Pants won

Thx dude for your nice works.i am on pursuit.

Thanx!
