I did try skeletals and revives, but after what I could see only the regular skeletons were proccing thorns when hit. Didn't test them too much, but I couldn't see a single thorn number coming from mages and revives. Monsters appeared to ignore skeletal mages but fight revives. This would probably need better testing, of course.
Hmm.. it's a bug for sure, cause all minions must be proccing thorns
These are known facts for all thorns barbs and invoker players
This is why, like i mentioned above, the best way to apply thorns is a very fast attack, not a channelling spell or something. Or an actual thorns skill like a bomb. Despite all this, i still think that pets and Thorns have potential. Through a LON setup at least
let me clarify a few things about thorns and hack for you guys.
1) Hack does not do a thing for pets, because they are not an "attack skill". They are minions. Hack only works with yout direct attacks, or skills that actually have thorns as damage.
2) There is no fast enough attack for Necro to apply thorns through Hack efficiently
3) If there will be 17 pets with thorns it does not necessary means that there will be "x17 thorns damage. "
It means that every pet will simply have a pool of 200% of your thorns.
4) Pets have no thorns attacks. All their "attacks" will be "passive", because they will simply reflect all incoming damage. When something hits them = they do damage via reflect. When they attack directly with their skills = they do no thorns damage, they just use their normal "skill" damage.
So the only way how pets can work with thorns is:
1) Huge amount of pets. More = better
2) As close-range minions as possible. Mages for example will not be very useful as they are mosly in the second line.

Can you share d3planner link?
You need a thorns skill or a very fast attack to apply thorns through Hack effectively. Just a few multipliers will not transition into crazy damage.

And how did you test it and realized it does not apply thorns multiplier?
