Playing this weekend i noticed Thornward doing remarkable damage to my GF, I got 4500 defense but this Thornward was ticking for 4k on me...

What was changed to make this so powerful? Drop this on a Node and I cannot even enter as the damage from the ground based aoe is so high.

    There is changes with thorn strike getting damage boost and do more with low health enemies. But no changes with thorn ward. It could be likely with mod 3 encounter damage depended on powers, the ward you encountered placed by hr who stacks powers plus the crit bonus it lashes out

    I remember during preview there was mention of a buff to thornward, but there was no mention in the patchnotes on release of mod3. Just thorn strike (the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> melee ability that goes with it).

    However it does seem like thornward is doing a little more damage. Mine doesn't crit anywhere near 4k (mine is like 2k crits I think) but it does decent damage now and is worth using.

    Yup, Thornward cracks guard like it is nothing and is imo is the worst cheese an hr has. Aka one its most effective encounter powers. Your 4500 defense wont make much of a difference vs like 3+k arpen, crit and power of 4k. HR's seem to naturally have a silly amount of arpen and crit.
