I'm not the only one that feels this nerf came from nowhere. It was in a good place after the DoT nerf then, nerf out of the blue, it's garbage. Bungia has got to stop bring exotics forward and nerfing them into the ground. What's the point of making or updating a weapon nobody wants to use. I was so excited to see Thorn coming back. Buff it Bungie, fix all the exotic weapons you've made useless, it's not like you're making any good new exotics...

They nerfed it because it's cancer in PvP. I'd get shot once with that thing and it would sap half my health, which is a clear advantage, despite Bungie's overhyped "balance" system in the PvP. Even with the nerf, I still believe it should be at least disabled in PvP combat. Having the already-intense damage of a hand cannon plus a life drain buff makes it ridiculous. I can have the skill for hit-and-runs, but oh, a single hit with that thing screws me over for whatever encounter I'll have with another opponent. The gun is cancer to its targets, literally.
