Is Thorn (exotic) Underpowered?
Scroll to bottom of this post. Bungie has stated there will be upcoming changes to Thorn!
With the increase to mag size of hand cannons I was surprised to see Thorn with only a mag size of 6. Being an exotic weapon it feels very lackluster.
Should Bungie increase the mag size?
[u]Or should they change something else?[/u]
All suggestions welcome in comments, maybe we can bring some positive changes to Thorn.
If you vote no, please give an explanation below! :)
Maybe Deej can see this and if there's a real issue or solution here, he can move it on the to developers.
[b]Edit: Increasing reload speed seems like a great solution too![/b]
[b]Edit 2: Looks like there's also a discussion here about Thorn on Reddit.[/b]

[b]Edit 3: The DoT doesn't stack, or refresh the timer. This looks to be a problem with all weapons that have a DoT effect.[/b]
[b]Edit 4: This post is about PVE and not PVP.[/b]
[b]Edit 5: Leveled up the Thorn more. It still lacks in PVE unfortunately, but in PVP the weapon is good.[/b]
[b]Edit 6: Moved to feedback forum.[/b]
[b]Edit 7: Bungie has stated there will be upcoming changes to Thorn![/b]

3 RepliesYea, it's pretty weak for an exotic hand cannon. My level 19 rare hand cannon has 8 rounds and is more accurate. Thorn needs to: - damage buff, and / or dot buff - increase reload speed buff --- I'd rather have reload speed buff over clip size because you can reload your gun faster in the same amount of time, therefor allowing you to fire off more rounds. - a different gun skill passive other then last bullet has increased damage. ---- replace it with a kill with this gun increases reload speed for a short duration.
