Thorns is considered BM in pvp

What about all the WW assassins that equip Bramble when fighting barbs?

I would have thought that using a Merc in PvP is more BM.

Oh well sorry I didn't think about bm. But it's not like every pub game is gm and since it's a merc i wasn't planning on using it for everybody.

Thorns is weak in PvP.

On my old WWsin, I used to sometimes be able to kill smiters when they would attack my shadow when I was wearing Bramble. When a player has thorns, it is true that it is seriously nerfed in pvp. However, I believe the dmg penalty in pvp is less on minions and mercs. That's why summon druids w/ bramble and and that bow runeword with thorns and Spirit of Barbs work.

what about iron maiden? I use to have a lot of fun vs barbs with my necro.

Could be, perhaps, I'm not sure about Minions. Perhaps it is the same for Iron Maiden.

I believe I've heard of necs creating bone walls and then casting IM on barbs in some duels. I would imagine that most people would consider this pretty bad mannered though.
