Thorns
Thorns is a stat that deals damage to enemies that hit you with a melee attack. It is similar to, but not considered to be Reflected damage.
Mechanics
Thorns can trigger off from any hit, including blocked hits and hits that deal no damage. Thorns damage does not scale with the amount of damage the hit that triggered it dealt.
Thorns has a base critical strike chance of 0%, but can be given base critical strike chance.
Crown of the Pale King allows Thorns to trigger from non-melee hits.
