I was just happily sticking a new andys face on my badly undergeared merc, when I saw the "attacker takes damage of 20" on his gladiators bane.
Got me thinking, a lot of the time melees RIP themselves on thorns, but what if they have thorns and reflect too?
Is it a viable counter, or do p8 thorns elites just completely overshadow this?

Just the concept, not the armor lol

When two Thorns aura meets
there's a simple rule to prevent bugs

Attacker A hits Target B.
Target B's Thorns triggers, dealing damage back to Attacker A.
Attacker A's Thorns does not trigger because Attacker A was "hit" by a reflection, not a direct physical attack from Target B.
