Honestly I would be fine if they would just buff the thorn by giving it's dot void based damage so that when voidburn and small arms are on it will wreck sum shit.
I'd rather the /weapon/ be void, but failing that, the dot from what I understand it's actually cannon that it's poisoning a guardian's light with the void. So..

I think Thorn should be a Void weapon. It makes the most sense.

Agreed

What it should be and what it is are sadly different matters. It is a fact that the Bad Juju was supposed to be void. They cut it between the final beta and final release. I think thorn was supposed to be too, several of the exotics were supposed to be elemental but for some reason they made this weird freaking decision to pull it. I can only assume it's to prevent people going with three damage types so they can deal with all three shield polarities. People have been flat out demanding elemental primaries back for years with the exception of approximately .5 % of the player base who are sweaty elitists who are scared of anything decreasing their feeling of self worth. There is no valid argument for why we don't have them. But bungie has made it very clear they don't want elemental primaries.
