[b]Disclaimer: Yes this is a nerf suggestion, [u]but please read before you vote[/u]. I have had Thorn since the second or third week of this game and before the buff I used it almost every game (still use it now and then). I love this weapon and have a large amount of experience using it, so I would not suggest something if I knew it would destroy the weapon.[/b] Now that's out of the way, here is my suggestion: -The stability should be reduced to its original value (before the buff) -The clip size should be reduced back to 6 OR the reload speed should be reduced back to its original value (pre-buff) What this would do would make it harder to spam fire the gun, in the way that it has become notorious for at the moment. You would have to carefully land those head shots due to the stability not being great enough for continuous fire. You would also have to manage your shots; either by choosing your reload moments carefully considering it's very slow reload speed, or choose your battles carefully considering you will only have enough shots to kill a few people at most before having to reload. Would you support such a nerf? If you don't, comment below why. And I've heard the "exotics are supposed to be really powerful" response many a time and each time I reply with "Thorn was good pre-buff; it is [i]too good[/i] now". [b]Before you vote or comment remember: nothing I suggested will remove the guns' signature 2 head shot burn kill. It will still be very powerful.[/b]

  • This whole post is irrelevant there are so many ways to die in destiny therefor bungie would have to look at everything balancing supers and other exotics thorn is supposed to feel powerful and oppressive the problem is most exotics don't feel oppressive I suggest a general buff and re-up of all exotic perks

    • I think rate of fire and range need to be addressed. This is my opinion but Thorn should have one or the other, range or RoF, not both. As someone who loved Thorn pre-buff I think that a six round mag is fine for this gun since it has final round and lingering damage to make up for the need to reload frequently. Then if Send It, which is the cause for Thorn's incredible range, was replaced with speed reload or flared magwell then we would have a more balanced weapon. It would still be capable of the two shot headshot and of course the DoT but it wouldn't be able to do it from across the map and you would have to reload more frequently, giving it some actual drawbacks.
