Not if you're comparing it to the ridiculous weapon it was before, but that's dumb because not many Primary weapons could ever hope to be better than a Y1 prenerf Thorn. Now, it is only a high ranking hand cannon amongst all of them. That and the First Curse, for example, both come with pros and cons that balance out to really good weapons. Thorn hits reasonably hard, fires extremely rapidly considering it is a hand cannon that isn't full auto, and it stops health regen. You can opt to have better range or stability than the offered stats, but not both. Pretty good gun. First Curse lends range and stability to you at all times, furthering that boost if you can nab a precision kill. Also comes with better ADS speed, and the middle perks are mediocre at best all around because the exotic perk is TRULY amazing lol. It's slept on, really. TLDR Thorn is not really annoying anymore.. unless it gave you some sort of weird PTSD?
