Simply change the Mark of the Devourer perk so that damage over time does not affect Guardians. Would this not solve the biggest issue with this weapon?
Edit.
I've received a few other interesting ideas in this thread:
● make it so mark has a chance of activating not guaranteed.
● only the first round does DoT
● have an armour perk that denies DoT.

Issue with thorn is that you dont need clean shots to kill. The dot does the job for you.

Okay it's not even that good in PvE... It was the legendary crucible guardian who used it so its only fair that it is amazing
-
Why the hell are people complaining about thorn? Quit whining about it because hawkmoon is way worse. If they nerf Thorn they need to nerf hawkmoon as well. Just saying.
-
Thorn will never have a decrease of the that perk according to the crucible class armor for Titan message lol easy way to avoid death in pvp ran behind a wall lol

The thorn is bad I love hand canons but I just got thorn it sucks
-
Maybe stick and move? ;)

2 RepliesNope. Your idea wouldn't make thorn any better than a legendary. A more sound solution would be to only have it proc after headshots.

2 RepliesThorn does NOT need a nerf

1 ReplyFrom how I see things nerfing it will solve nothing. If Thorn gets nerfed, everyone will use The Last Word, everyone will then call for that to get nerfed. Once that gets nerfed everyone will use Red Death or the Mythoclast. People will then call for those to get nerfed. It will never end until all the guns are the same. Even then it might not if people "feel" like a gun is better than another even without any actual proof.

1 ReplyHere's an idea for thorn make it an auto rifle with 80% impact and 100% stability 100% range 100% reload with 100 points worth of dot :)
-
oh I thought your solution to the Thorn "problem" was to tell people to quit whining about Thorn. Nevermind...as you were
-
Can I offer an easy solution to the Thorn "problem"? Answer: No.
-
Just use MIDA or any gun with high caliber rounds.
-
I have a some solutions. 1: Get Thorn, use it too. 2: Get TLW, use it against them. 3: Get the Vex, use it against them. 4: Use the Mida, I took down heaps of Thorn users with it. I'm not a great PvP player by any means, I do ok, but nothing special, and I was able to combat Thorn with the above weapons. You just need to use what the game gives you, and use it situationally.

Here's an option: Go give Deej a good ol rim job!
-
Are you kidding me? Remove the one thing that makes the gun an exotic? It's a simple solution, make MOTD bring guardians down to no health, but MOTD can't kill.
-
I don't use thorn, but why the -blam!- would you turn off the one thing that makes the weapon over powered?
-
I have an easy solution: Stability = pre - buff Round size = 6
-
Ok making it not effect guardians is an idea. However it usually takes 2 shots to kill for me... Which makes it even to the other exotic handcannons.... Sooo...
-
I don't have a problem with thorn I have a problem with every single person using every game it's making pvp boring
-
I find the thorn slightly overpowered but so is red death mythoclast and last word. There exotics and should be top tier. The other exotics should be buffed to match
-
1 ReplyI have another great solution: Hawkmoon ;)
-
Lets all make a thread about how bad thorn is (back at launch). Lets make a thread to make thorn bad again (this post right now) I swear, two-faced community 110% ;)

Or, there isn't a problem and there's a way to beat every gun. People should just find their preferences method to do so.
