Thorn only needed 3 shots to kill, one being a head shot and two body shots. Personal use experience here.
The thorn was over powered. Now though?? It's going to just get worse. The DOT got buffed if anyone paid attention.....

Edited by Rikkom: 7/20/2015 10:41:04 AMIt's sort of a buff but only really for pve. They're cutting the dot down to 1/3 of what it currently is. That means in 3 shots you'll be doing around 7 damage a tick (pvp) more than that it'll be doing over 7 a tick. The only real time you'll shoot someone 4 times with it, it'll be body shots. In 3 head shots. You'll kill someone, so it's pretty much a pvp nerf. They did this so thorn would be more balanced in pvp without affecting it for pve. It's actually the first proper fix to a weapon I've seen bungie make.

Agreed. Part of the reason I avoided using thorn in PVP. I made a run with it during iron banner and was quite ....upset. it didn't feel like I was trying and I was easily top 3 each time. Even against another thorn user, it felt unfair. I totally agree the nerf was well done. I'm just unsure about the allowing of a DOT buff but!!!! The nerf is still fresh so we shall see

its a hit stack not really a buff when they need three shots.... when messenger drops you in 2 bursts
