Does anyone know if thorns are considered “physical” damage? usually there’s a tool tip or something but i can’t see any info in the game - i’m guessing physical because it’s not affected by elemental dmg buffs
also i don’t think the Spark of Creation gem (cd reduction) is working - has anyone tested? from what i can see it does not actually reduce the cool down
It depends - with the new pants for SB thorns is converted into poison - i don’t know if it stacks with physical as well.
Sort of - it says “each attack damages close enemies for 150% of your thorns AND also deals 100% of this damage as poisoning…”
If i worked at blizz the first thing i’d do is fix all the grammar in D4 lol
Googling for an answer, the amalgamated answer is thorns is physical -
another season another mechanical mystery
Btw i’m asking because the gem, there’s a gem that gives you a 40% Dmg buff to physical it makes sense to use it in a thorns build
I checked and Rob is using it as well - but it’s so tricky to know what’s not working in this game without a DPS meter - so i’m asking you smart people.
It only benefits from your main stat, and +all damage stats.
Yeah, that’s what the tool tip says… argh i guess i could try testing it
Thanks Iggi
No worries, I only remember, because there was a lot of testing going into this early on, to make sure +physical did not in fact work with thorns.
So comparing it to another gem, i believe it does NOT work - hard to really know 100% of course but seems like it
