Thorn could do with 8 rounds and a stacking DOT. This is generally an area where Bungie has a way to go. There are a number of exoctics that do not have the needed "weight" or "presence" to make them feel truely exotic, and they are outdone by their legendary little brothers. If you compare stats on Thorn to TDYK, Thorn is outdone across the board, except on ROF. I think the exotics need to be[b] positively unbalanced [/b]just a little bit to make them slightly better than the legendaries. But that is of course a vicious cycle, as everyone calls out OP, OP, OP, if something does stands out. So this a question the community needs to agree on; [b]can we accept slightly positively unbalanced exotics? [/b]
