I think people underestimate the Thorn. It sucks initially, but once you get that poison effect it kicks ass in PVP. Seriously, it keeps shields from reloading and makes kills turn from 3 headshots to 2 headshot kills, or four body shots to 3 body shot kills. that damage over time kicks so much ass. It also allows you to track your target by watching the numbers pop up over their head behind cover for about five seconds.
So, thorn sucks initially, but leveled it is good for PVP at least. Fast fire rate and Damage over time is great. the clip size and reload speed are low, but it makes up for it.

I'd only want the Thorn just to have it because it looks pretty cool. Never use it cause I have a better exotic hand cannon, but I'd love to obtain it.

I can say that it is absolutely terrible for PvE. Can't kill an oracle without reloading and by the time I do it marks the group. Can't escape Templar's bubble before having to reload, and by the time I do he has teleported and has his shield up again.

You are right thorn sucks at killing oracles and getting out of that shield. But it is amazing for everything else. Pretty much one shots everything that doesn't have a shield. On last boss it destroyed the Harpys while others were in the portal. I always have 2 or 3 times as many kills as anyone in strikes. People just need to learn to use it right I think

Edited by IgnoreAnts: 9/22/2014 9:05:52 AMIf it had 4 more bullets and stacking debuff it would be amazing even with the reload speed. That can be countered by Hunters Chain of Woe.

Haha that would make it more amazing, but maybe too op
