In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Thorns, each line checked against the files.
- Not in the files
Thorns will now dynamically update its values based on the caster's spell power.
The files Thorns (467 to 9910) has no spell power coefficient in the files and didn't change in any beta build, so the scaling is done by the server.
- Not in the files
If the caster cannot be found or is too far away, Thorns reverts to its base values.
The files The caster range check is server logic; nothing in Thorns' data covers it.
- Not in the files
Thorns: Now gains increased damage from the caster’s spell power, while they are present.
The files Thorns has no spell power coefficient in the client (rank 6 does 22, Classic 18), so live scaling from the caster's spell power would be done by the server.
