So . . . damage over time (DoT) is one of the most annoying things in this game, why is the Thorn such a good weapon in PvP ? Damage Over Time ! Grants you tracking of the enemy and stops regenerating your health. Pretty annoying in the opinion of a lot of people. A way to address it ? Remove it ? Yes, but it would be the last resort. Making it so that it only damages the shield ? Yes, but there's more. Reducing his damage (only firebolts this one)? Well, yes, now thanks to the patch at the burn of the Thorn now it's a little bit more fun in the Crucible. Have any other ideas ? Write them in the comments.
