Funny year one it was the thorn. People said it was over powered, sweaty, a gun that would just kill u just by looking at it cause how sexy it was. Now year 2 we see the last word. Ever heard of the saying history repeats itself. Will only be so long till people start crying wolf. Funny cause those guns were yin & yang. Honestly bungie bring thorn back. Why you ask? Because of the lore, because of how it looks. If it wasn't for the lore behind the gun I wouldn't care about my hunter or destiny anymore. Bungie if you do bring it back just change how the gun works. Dragons breath went from a total disappointment to something fun to use. First curse was terrible till u fixed its exotic perk. And I'm sure there's other examples out there. Some may disagree what I say but before the first curse got fixed I won 5 straight matches in elimination and plenty other amazing games. Used the suros and beat 1000 yrd stare campers using last word's in a meta where auto rifle arent really used. No its not the gun you're using. Its the one who's using it. Bring thorn back don't care how u do it I got faith in you bungie. Everyone who reads this please read some of the comments below cause there are some points I make out that can really make u think that it might not actually be a bad idea and start something actually good for crucible and the community and I will respond to any comments bad or good.

My problem with Thorn has always been that it is the only weapon with a "burn" in pvp. Back in year one pretty much every primary had an elemental burn but they were not active in crucible. I never thought it was fair that you had to use that gun to get that burn ignoring all your other weapons.
-
They shouldn't have left any exotic behind :p the last word has always been just as powerful as thorn too, and then pulse rifles got a huge buff and were arguably more overused than anything lol
-
I agree man! Why invest in so much lore to eradicate the ACTUAL weapon!
-
I use Thorn in Crucible because it discourages players from challenging me mid gunfight with their snipers. Most snipers get lit up with Thorn and they run. It's not a bad way to deal with those who fall back on their Specials.

GTFO HOW DARE YOU, IT'S NOT LIKE BUNGIE REBALANCED IT OR ANYTHING [spoiler]People were so salty over year 1 Thorn that even the idea of bringing it back in a balanced state is somehow a bad idea? Like, I get the hate, the Crucible was a nightmare back then, but seriously.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Also, I think it's safe to assume Crucible is just beyond salvation, so why are people still trying?[/spoiler]
-
Hell no!!! That stupid gun broke Pvp last time. That would be the worst thing bungie could do.
-
gtfo of here with that. Thorn was the reason why ppl hated crucible so much. Only bitches and queers like u would use an overpowered piece of shit like that. You could give that gun to a monkey and get a 10 kill streak. Get some skill and quit using the meta.

Thorn and tlw are not even close to the same. Thorn was a 2 shot kill if you had a steady hand, it's all I used in crucible. Tlw is a beast, but not even close to what thorn was... You need to adapt to it. Find a way to out shoot it. If that doesn't work for you, start killing them back with tlw
-
the only benefit of making it y2 is being able to use it in trials but as long if your above 290 in trials I believe all guns do same damage so if you have the thorn and are 290 or up while using It, it is still a good trials weapon unless I'm wrong about the light. but it still wreaks in crucible almost everygame I see atlease 1 or 2 people using it not including me
-
Thorn will never be balanced bcuz it does extra damage

You know, funny thing was back then before thorn was buffed, people kept asking me why the -blam!- was i using a piece of shit gun. After the buff for thorn, i bet those same people used Thorn religiously and started praising it. I think thorn's time has passed and it should stay like that
-
Bump. Best gun ever
-
It needs to come back, last word has massive dmg and snipers need something to deter the easy usage they have .
-
I agree, I miss my Thorn.
