I honestly believe that Thorn deserves a buff. Not to Year 1 god tier terror cannon, but perhaps to the place it was in during the majority of Taken King BEFORE the April update. No one can honestly say that it is even close to being a viable weapon when put up against basically any other primary in the crucible. The bullets feel weak, the range even with Send It is abysmal, and even without Memory of Silimar, the burn is a non-factor. The only exotic thing about it at this point is the weapon model. Please, restore just a portion of its former glory.
Sincerely,
A Year 1 Destiny player who truly loves Thorn.

Never had Thorn (trying to get it) and I did not mind dying to it. Now the weapon has been thrown into the garbage chute. It needs to be buffed.
-
Make it 1 head shot 2 body with burn and revert the range nerf. Give people a reason to use the anti burn artifact other than not being able to burn out from incendiaries.

Signed. I was one of the few people that only brought Thorn out to counter another Thorn. Thorn is just a sad shadow of her former glory. Thorn desperately needs some form of improvement, I know players hate Thorn but Bungie nerfed her like it was personal. As if they had a grudge and wanted to punish the weapon. I primarily used Thorn in PvE where the DoT could truly shine by eating through shields. First time I ever took down that "Hated" Hive knight in the Cosmodrome was with Thorn, it was awesome how quickly she could devour the shield and then prevent regeneration. Give Thorn back her sharpened point, or don't bring her back at all.

Edited by cult: 9/28/2016 4:18:05 AMYes. I need more useable weapons and so do other people. I dont care if I get killed by it from a buffed DoT. Buff it It is classified as a [u]Exotic[/u] for a reason. Right now, its like a legendary weapon.
-
I would love to see a decent buff to it, especially to hand cannons as a whole. Have always liked Thorn, even before the Thorn got overly buffed in HoW, which still wasn't as bad when people more horrible then myseld at PvP used it. Thorn definitely deserves some kind of buff(s). So, signed.
-
Nope. Thorn needs to die.
-
-
Well i felt its terror before, but your not wrong, it honestly needs these things listed: a range boost or its full perf restored aka send it, an extra bullet or a little more reload speed, and thats about it other than a little bit of an impact buff for about 5 extra damage, making it alittle better than average, not a fear monger, and rewarding for head shot aimers.
-
They don't even need to increase the dot. Increase the stability, range, mag size, maybe the impact and that's it. Make it usable.
-
I totally agree with u. #MakeThornGreatAgain
-
-
Bump for primary weapon buffs.
-
-
-
Yes it does. Badly
-
Find a new gun already....
-
Thorn is starting to just tick me of. Not the gun itself but what bungies doing to it. I mean seriously they make an artifact that reduces dot yet don't buff thorns dot.
-
I would agree,,,but not with how easy it would be to attain . with the quest in all
-
Um no it doesn't.
-
Let's just wish for vanilla back. Where Suros was king, shotguns were overpowered, and everyone didn't play so defensive.
-
How did you get the thorn? Was it a shiro bounty?
-
Agree, nerf thorn
-
Yea buff the thorn a little bit not like in year 1 tho
-
I'm with you bro its basically been nerfed so hard that it doesn't feel exotic anymore, I mean cmon somebody using that artifact takes only 1 damage per tick ...."ONE"
