Title saids it all, this way it won't even be exotic( like most yr1and yr2 exotics xD). Remove dot, reduce range, but keep stability.
Edit: happy to see a lot of players who want to keep it the same. Just to be clear, when I Said keep it the same I meant keep it the same but the yr2 version. I know I got nerfed but Idgaf I just want a yr2 version. Interesting some players still wouldn't want it even if dot was removed xD. We all know it wouldn't be thorn if DoT was removed, I just wanted to see what nerfers would say.
-
It wouldn't be Thorn anymore without MoD. Range nerf important for this gun.
-
It will still be good....FOR A RARE HANDCANNON

Edited by ELStoker: 1/18/2016 4:04:25 PMBring back the year 1 Thorn AFTER the first buff that made it a viable weapon. PvP players should not get the final say so, or any say so period, on whether or not a gun is OP. Especially when those same weapons are used in PvE. A vast majority of Destiny's player base plays PvE yet we have to suffer the bitching and moaning that results in some of our favorite PvE weapons being reduced to shit.
-
So if DoT was removed from Thorn, an exotic, what would make it special?
-
The only problem with Thorn's DoT is the shot gun that rush you and you don't land enough shots to kill, but they walk off and die. You get more kill that are traded, this is not a cheap kill, it's ok for Titan punch and warlock malee the burn from these kill over time but no oI n complains. Most complain is because they could not do the bounty and get the gun their self
-
I would be fine with thorn if the dot only dealt damage on precision shots, then it wouldn't be people just spamming body shots and getting cheap kills and you would need at least a little skill to actually make use of it rather than lazy players looking to boost their k/d by just shooting you in the foot 3 times to kill you
-
How come everyone that cries nerf is such a pathetic piece of shit that they have to go cry on the forums to nerf whatever they died by? At this point it is just plain ridiculous with the nerf requests. A year 1 weapon that was nerfed before TTK and all the whiners are still crying about it. Come on.
-
Just make it a 4 shot to the body then I would be fine
-
Thron stacks on repeated hit so if everyone uses it kills more effectlly this is the problem I have in too with some people you come across a whole team with it you wish they just ban all year one guns from too

Edited by IDooDooMagoo: 1/18/2016 7:23:14 AMKeep dot the same, make dot a precision based effect. Or make dot less effective with body shots
-
I would love to see it year 2 in any form just to watch the forums fell up with haters who don't have cry for more nerfs
-
It can be reliably 3 tap the body.
-
It's already been nerfed. What's wrong with it?
-
Why remove DOT at all? People hate it because that's what they did to after a person runs away without landing a final shot right? So just make it so that DOT can't kill someone
-
If they took away dot it wouldn't be exotic, it would just be the same as eyasluna
-
Because with or without dot it's still a 3 shot kill.. Dot is the perk to suppress the enemy.. Just like loads of HC it's a 3 shot kill
-
Its fine the way it is
-
So long story short take out the exotic perk....
-
The most recent comments from John from sandbox design said it perfectly. "the best part about thorn is the ability to force a player to disengage." that is the part that people are complaining about because they don't want to be forced to run. Personally I find nothing wrong with the mechanic because you still need to hit 3 times to kill.
-
Meh, wouldn't bother me either way. I'd still rock my NTTE. Well at least on my hunter and titan anyway, my warlock seems to be glued somehow to the Tlaloc.
-
If they removed dot from thorn, then it would not be thorn. Blow that. Would rather use the year one version.
-
Edited by Nobody: 1/15/2016 9:23:09 PMNo matter how much I loathe thorn that would ruin the only really unique part about the weapon
-
Bump. Theres a reason everyone uses thorn in sweats.
-
Instead of DOT, they should've made it so your shields and health don't regen for like 15 seconds after the last hit. That would still be a great perk and less annoying than being killed constantly by someone running away.
-
Just pop out your Ghost and so long DOT. Yep it still works.
-
If you took away dot damage thorn would be just so normal exotic that never gets used
