i’m wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive list of items that give thorns effect. like shield spike ret aura and druid thorns for example??
Off the top of my head.
-skullflame shield.
-drillborer disk.
That legendary neck.
That awful trinket from Rag

Do you want consumable items like crystal spire?
Also force reactive disk damage all nearby enemies on block, not just the one that attacks.
Also razorhide from mangletooth in Barrens for horde.
yes include consumables if they can be farmed or crafted, not given from a quest you can do 1 time.

And did you want stuff like dragonbreath chilli which is not a thorns effect but procs from time to time to damage attackers?
You trying to make running low level instances easier?
Curious what your goal is.
passives:
sulfuras, hand of ragnaros: 5 fire, 2h mace
essence of pure flame: 13 fire, trinket
cloak of flame: 5 fire, cloak
drillborer disk: 3 arcane, shield
nagelring: 3 arcane, ring
razor gauntlets: 3 arcane, plate gloves
activatable non-consumables:
fetish of chitinous spikes: 25 nature, 30 second duration, ??? cooldown, trinket
heart of the scale: 20 fire(and 20 fire resistance), 5 minute duration, ??? cooldown, trinket
consumables:
crystal spire: 12… nature? 10 minutes
combine just these with improved t1 set bonus thorns and improved ret aura and improved fire shield, and enemies are going to be taking 140 or more damage per hit, and thats BEFORE spell damage scaling, if that even applies to that stuff
to put that into perspective, around 21-25 of those would kill a typical rogue by itself
without the player-casted buffs, that’d still amount to at least 59 damage taken per hit
I remember that people in WotLK arenas were complaining about thorns effects hitting for over 200 damage when combined, and, iirc, THAT got nerfed
thanks for helping me realize how ridiculously OP this stuff is when you stack it, OP
if you wanted to nerf it, then you should just make crystal spire and the on uses of heart of the scale and fetish of chitinous spikes be dispellable; in large-scale group PvP, there’ll likely be someone to dispel the enemy, and also consider that, while you can’t dispel ret aura, the alliance doesn’t get purge
also, world PvP isn’t exactly meant to be balanced anyway, and vanilla wasn’t balanced around 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or even 5v5 PvP; the least it was balanced around was 10v10 PvP
and blessing of sancutary and dampen magic are also big considerations, so perhaps nerfing the stuff would be unnecessary

that cloak. recipe drops off the elemental in front of brd. It used to scale with spellpower.
cant remember if it was thorns or just “deals x damage per second to every enemy around you” but yeah i was making a build based around aoeing things on my pally.
that’s a use effect and deals 25 every 5 sec. 2min cooldown. it doesn’t count unfortunately
