Thorn and how to fix it
Thorn, in my opinion, is rather overpowered right now.
It really has no downside. High stability. High range. Large magazine size, great impact, good rof and it's the only primary that does DOT.
It can't be good at everything, nor should it. The recent hand cannon nerf really didn't do anything, and it's still the most used weapon in the crucible.
Bungie probably should do something.
My personally opinion isn't to nerf it into the ground, but just tweak it a bit to make it a bit harder to use.
Option 1: nerf the DOT making it unable to kill unless the poison was from a headshot. It does a percentage based on amount of health left. This will eliminate just shooting people that are running away and essentially getting a free kill.
Option 2: decrease the rof. It's got a pretty quick rof. Couple that with high stability and you have a great hand cannon even without the DOT. This would increase the skill required to use it since you can't spam as quickly for the 2 shot kill.
Option 3: decrease the stability. It's waaaaayyyyyy to high for a gun that can kill in two shots. They also could tweak the repeatability further to make it worse when spamming.
Option 4: leave it as is.
I'm sure I will get flamed for this. This isn't a crying thread. This is just my opinion on how to bring thorn down the the level of the rest of the hand cannon's while still feeling like an exotic.
EDIT1: I forgot to add a poll for option 4 and I cant change it on my phone.
EDIT 2: Nice to see people already telling my Im bad and learn to counter it. Im not crying about it. Im just saying I think it needs tweaked a bit because it's too good in its current state. You can have the opinion that a gun is OP without crying about it
Edit 3: if people would bother to look at my grimoire they would see I've had thorn for quite a while

3 RepliesOption 4. You clearly didn't experience Thorn pre-buff. It was garbage. All of your proposed fixes were the problem. Plus, based on your stance in regards to this gun, you don't have one. Otherwise, you wouldn't be complaining.
-
Option 4 you whining bitch, get good
-
Why don't people stop complaining about the good weapons and start asking for buffs on the shit weapons so everyone will use every gun. Bring auto rifle power back leave thorn and red death alone and make Scout rifles better.
-
4 RepliesI can't think of one situation in Destiny where nerfs had any sort of hugely positive benefit.
-
*grabs popcorn* ooh another one.
-
Option 4, no more nerfs.
-
I hate it with a passion but I hate nerfing shit even more because it's only a matter of time till my favorite shit gets nerfed to re balance everything else that gets out of balance because everything keeps getting nerfed. No more nerf please.

Option 5...don't suck you whore. Shoot quicker or better. If someone domed you twice with a hand cannon they had you anyways

Where is Option None?

It needs a frickin buff scrub!

1 ReplyI cannot believe that any of y'all are actually defending Thorn. I just started using it about 30 minutes ago and it's as if i just turned on easy mode. I just got the iron wrath bounty without a problem. This gun just shows how Bungie has no idea how to balance multiplayer.
-
I cant choose... All good options.

1 Replyoption 4, if a weapon is OP then you'd never switch up to another one. I switch up based on which map i'm on, i'll use RD on the rusted lands and shores of time and maybe the asylum. I'll use the last word in the anomaly and firebase delphi. So Thorn isn't the best weapon in all areas.

Make poison crit only

Option 4

Mad when it sucks mad when it's good I don't really mind about the gun because you can kill them with the right skill[spoiler]dont take it personal [/spoiler]

Why would you even bother making this topic... #attentionseeker

Option 7; git gud

Reduce the clip size to six. I miss getting that final round perk as often. Huh? No, I don't give a -blam- about the people crying about nerfing the gun. Let them cry. I just liked when it had six rounds. Leave the reload speed as it is, now, though.
-
'ROF on Thorn is pretty good' lmao
-
I don't have it and hate being killed by it, but I don't complain about. Many people Love that gun, please don't ruin for the people who use it or did the crazy bounty to get it.
