Thorns suggestions

Some QoL suggestions to make thorns a tad less annoying as well as a new unique helm to contend with the pale kings crown.

Bramblejack
250% of Melee Physical Damage taken reflected to Attacker
Change to
250% of Melee Physical Damage taken reflected to Attacker as thorns damage

Caltrops
Increases and reductions to Thorns Damage apply to Hit Damage with this skill
Change to
You're Thorns Damage applies to Hit Damage with this skill

Barbs
Supported Skills deal your Thorns Damage on Hit after you Retaliate with Thorns recently

Quill Burst
Supported Skills trigger Quill Burst on Hit after you Retaliate with Thorns recently

I also suggest another type of unique helm as an alternative to the Pale King's Crown that gives Thorns Retaliation hits splash damage with an area of 1.5m. This provides an alternate way to deal with projectile enemies without it doubling up with the pale king crown.

100% agree on the barbs / quill change to function over the last 4 seconds. It's a pretty miserable build vs very slow bosses especially if there's risk of 1 shots.
