Honestly, the Thorn in its current state is PRETTY bad. Not unusable, but definetly underpowered. With the nerf to its range and DoT, there's not really a reason to use it when most current legendary hand cannons can outperform it.
#MakeThornGreatAgain
EDIT: I am NOT saying it should be buffed back into Y1 status. Just a minor buff to either its range or DoT would be great.
However, DoT wouldn't really make much difference because of the new artifacts. So range would probably be the better option.

4 RepliesDon't see what the big deal is about buffing it back to yr 1 status. 1) the artifact 2) if it ended up being the new meta, then so what. Everyone has access to it (and the artifact), and it's not like you are getting killed by more than the same 2 primaries right now anyway.

Change it back to yr 1, but only have the DoT effect proc if it's a crit hit.

3 RepliesYou forum people confuse me. First you want the crucibabies to shut up about nerfing things, and then you turn around and scold someone who want a buff. TC: "Hawkmoon is useless since other legendaries outclass it." Forum people: "YEAH BUFF HAWKMOON!" TC: "Thorn is useless since other legendaries outclass it." Also forum people: "Nah bro git gud." Makes no sense to me.

Imo, increase dot from 2 to 3 and some of its range back

It needs the 25% range nerf undone, which was just vindictive on Bungie's part and had no reason. It had already been knocked down with the dot and artifact.

6 RepliesIt's fine. Stop expecting the perks to do the killing for you. Get good. It can 3 shot like every other Handcannon in the game. Can also 2 shot with final round. Learn to use it. Have common sense. Thorn is already the best in its archetype. As the most damage and range in its archetype. Even more damage with the DoT. The [b][u]only[/u][/b] reason people don't use it is because bloom has made all handcannons without max range inconsistent. Which means fix bloom and Thorn, Hawkmoon, and Last Word climb to the top all over again.

Edited by RynoTheTurtle: 12/12/2016 7:49:37 PMI started using perfect balance with it last and started hitting a lot more targets than I ever have, then send it perk nerfs too much now to make it useful in pve or pvp

Then how about a buff to the rest of the exotics? Lol like wtf. Obviously you garbage kids need thorn buffed 😂

YEAR ONE FLASHBACKS HURRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I would increase the Dot damage. For PvE primarily as PvP does not concern me in the slightest.
-
Put the DoT to where it was and range aswell. Just lower the damage so it CANT double tap kill with the DoT aplied. Dealing 1 DoT damage against someone who uses the artifact countering DoT damage is laughable, lol.

1 ReplyFunny how the most deadly(looking) weapon in Destiny is the most underpowered in every encounter. Unless its a patrol through the old Cosmodrome...

Actually for some strange reason the thorn has been feeling more accurate lately I've been getting much more kills in iron banner with it and I've noticed hawk moon is more accurate as well.

2 RepliesJust because an exotic is not performing as well as a legendary does not mean it needs a buff.

They should definitely give it back the 25% of range they took from the last nerf. And honestly with the DoT doing 2-1 I'd rather it have rangfinder or something at least usefull lol.

1 ReplyNo, grow a brain. If it's not strong enough for you then don't use it.
