I haven't used it in PVP but I don't play a great deal of it. In PVE it rules, even with only 6 in the chamber I prefer it to my The Devil You Know. I like to take my time when playing though, I don't rush Strikes or Story missions so the reload time is completely irrelevant to me, ducking into cover to reload and going for the head all day long, with my P&T or Ice Breaker in my special slot, BLAM! If I was to buff it though I'd add 2 more bullets to the chamber and a perk that makes the final bullet deal a poison AOE blast, which damages nearby enemies over time as well. I'm very interested to see how Bungie actually does Buff it.

  • It is interesting to see how non PVP players see the weapon. I found myself having trouble doing damage to a boss with Thorn. Do you use it for bosses or do you switch to other weapons?

  • Thorn for mobs, The Devil You Know or Monte Carlo for bosses. Although when I fully upgrade the Thorn and it's finally buffed that could change, the poison over time effect could help out on bosses (I don't have it unlocked yet)

  • I don't know why but the dot does not apply on all bosses. The big servitor on the earth strike does not suffer from it.

    Glitch maybe? Or maybe poison has no effect on Void based enemies, who knows! Either way I think poison should be added as a permanent damage type, have a big poison Vex snake boss on a Strike?
