Will Thorns damage trigger the Area Damage effect?

If an enemy hits me and takes Thorns damage, does it have a chance to trigger the Area Damage on the creature that took the Thorns damage?

  • do you mean the "chance area damage on hit" type of buff on weapons?

  • @horatio Yes, this is about such bonus. It is not exclusive to weapons, though, and it all adds up to a value in Character Details called Area Damage.

While I can't give you a definitive answer, from research and the internet it would appear that it does not. Look at this post on the D3 forums. To sum up: You can't proc from a proc.
