    is this going to be a PRIMUS spark shield for melee attacks? if so, i hope it reflects more damage than spark shield does, because that reflects both melee AND ranged attacks​​

    The description on the Thorn Shield is worded odd. Might want to check it.

    15% of the damage you is dealt back to the attacker as Toxic damage.

    Hrr... multiple hitback devices seem problematic, primus spark shield is already pretty much a must-have for tanking. Maybe limit to only one device in that class (or make it a defensive core).

    The limit has already been set. The Hit-Me device that was slotted last will have their effect working while the previous device is disable. The mods are just Threat/No Threat mods, but with Toxic. It might be handy for those DE tanks.

    They don't stack, it's one or the other.

    Kinda surprised the Thorn Shield isn't Piercing/Slashing. Cuz you know...Thorns?

    And yay...more dmg-specific mods...

    Actually, this (Thorn Shield) is something I would like! Although it isn't a shovel... or a witch hat that could be used with someone that has hair (even the hairs from the ol' time where you'd have to change the costume tab to 'Headgear' clip with it. Yep, the hairs made to work with hats clip with the witch hat)... but it'll do!

    What would be the difference between using Thorns Shield vs Primus Spark Shield? I thought most villains had flat defense ratings for all damage types?

    *Just thought about debuffs and I supposed an enemy with a specific damage debuff would take more damage from one device or the other.

    **The new costume pieces look awesome too btw!

    Didn't read properly and thought thorn shield was a costume and got excited for my druid character, but this is cool too!

    Also those syringe gloves are 100% going to be mine.

    Well, if it's toxic damage, that means it works with debilitating poison. Other than that, the only difference is what you pay with to get the device.
