I don't usually support nerfing of guns. I resisted all the thorn hate these past few months, even though it's a gun I rarely use since I stink with pistols.
Today in the iron banner I'm getting crucified by thorn users who are a full level or more below my 34 Titan. Noncritical shots are proving lethal, even just one of them. It was really tough to counter these in ToO and regular crucible, but this is just plain stupid, and not fun.
Something needs to be done about this weapon.
Grrrrrrrrrrr
Edit:
Since this was clearly a salty whiny post on my behalf, this thread is now dedicated to Mrr Mudkipz, his clan, and this excellent lullaby:
"Hush little baby don't you cry, Thorn's gonna sing you a lullaby.
Two straight shots to your head, to make sure you wind up stone-cold dead.
And if that good ol' Thorn don't kill, Damage Over Time will make sure it will.
Fusions and shotguns don't you fret, post mortem kills is what we'll get.
And if you're still alive, be-ware. There's plenty more Thorns in the Garden out there."
Happy hunting, fellow guardians. You can find me and kill me with thorn on the xbox one or 360 :)

Everyone's freaking out about thorn in the crucible, but I've never been in a game with more than 3 of them :L
-
It's just ridiculous how i end up against teams of 6 thorns regularly. The gun isn't OP with one person using it, but when people gang up with it it's impossible to escape.

Mad? Get one.

Another crying bitch ugh....

Try stop getting shot 2-3 times problem solved No Nerf required

I agree. Everyone who says it doesn't need a nerf relies on it. If they aren't going to nerf it, at least bring SUROS and auto rifles pre-nerf and it would be better. I think that the nerf to fusions and autos completely ruined the variety. I enjoyed seeing autos and handcannons. And not everyone running a shotgun. I am a huge auto rifle fan and do not like handcannons. Guess I'll have to stick to vex.

there's always Red Death... *whistling.jpg* but seriously it's a bit crazy and I'm one of those annoying Thorn ppl most of the time. it's just not the ONLY weapon I need to be viable in IB.
-
I crushed thorn users last night with messenger, of course it's a small sample size but if this keep up I'll be bringing it to trials.
-
Been using red death and havent got problems with thorns did one match with 365 thorn but its bit meh
-
Cry more. I feed on noob tears.
-
Like getting owned by Thorn...love owning others with Red Death.
-
I once was a good man. I never used instruments of the dark on my fellow guardians. But then I grew tired of falling to this weapon. Once I got mark of the devourer, there was no turning back. Fire with fire. Death with death. Darkness with darkness.

Your class set up is your problem. A Titan with a speed recovery build. Max armor builds take 3-4 shots unless crits. Other problem is having IB too soon with the only way to get max weapons being RNG or etheric light. So exotics will be easy upgrades and a main choice. They really should have waited another week or 2. But the main problem is your build.
