Anyone else encounter a herald with thorns on a ww barb? I'm tilting to the moon ATM. I used berserk and I swear to God I was still taking thorns damage

could be worse.

iron maiden like the old days

My merc gets rekt from those thorns lol

Had to revive him so many times

Yeah, they're nasty, and it gets even worse when they cast amp on hit.
The thorns damage is apparently flat, so it's not related the player's, that could explain why using berserk doesn't help.
I would be interested to know which types of hit trigger the damage though.
Melee attacks do for sure, but what about ranged attacks? and spells?

instant death as soon as you touch something. usually occurring when you are hit with IM while whirlwinding.
