THORN STATISTICS

Thorn is so powerful it is broken. To support this claim I will provide you with this link which is to a thorough spreadsheet of weapon stats. The TTK (Time To Kill) of thorn [b]100%[/b] of the time if two critical shots are landed is [b]0.36[/b] sec. When this [b]100%[/b] chance is compared to Hawkmoon which has a [b]39%[/b] chance of a two shot kill it is clear how broken the weapon is. [b]100 - 39 = 61[/b]. Thorn is [b]61%[/b] more likely to two shot kill you at a rate [b]0.04[/b] sec faster than Hawkmoon. Food for thought. Let me know what you think. [i]Below are my souces for stats and percentages.[/i] [url]https://www.bungie.net/en-US/Forum/Post/106192863/0/0[/url] [url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7FV9l4hXo2tHD3XlFUp854XvJIwTKFIPvASLduPPS4/edit#gid=0[/url]

    There are 3 kinds of falsehoods in the world- lies, damn lies, and statistics. Hawkmoon has 3 chances per cylinder to deliver bonus damage. Factor that vs the DoT from Thorn. Also, Thorn's sights are no treat to use, they obscure a lot of target. This makes Hawkmoon easier to use at a longer range. "IF two critical shots are landed" is the operative phrase in your paragraph. How many shots does Hawkmoon fire in the time Thorn fires 2? How many does a Vex fire? How about Suros? Red Death? Galahad-E? I've won a lot of firefights against Thorn lately, lost a lot, too. Its main statistic is: Causes annoyance in players killed repeatedly by it: 85%.
