Thorn damage does not count as hit

For warbringer ascendancy there is an option to break armor with 10% of the hit damage. And explanation of hit is any non damage overtime damage is a hit. Feel like thorn damage is an hit and it doesn't work with this node so it might be a bug or the explanation should be changed to not confuse players.

+1 please fix, Thorns is definitely not damage over time, therefore according to the tooltips, it should count as hit damage
I would love to thorns with cast on hit, but since thorns is not a hit (for some reason) it does not work.

Not sure if its intended since it says it is a "hit".

Didn't get any response on my other thread.

Thorns damage doesn't count as originating from the player, so that's why it doesn't work despite being a hit.
