Everyone that thinks the thorn isn't OP is clearly blind. Sure you can out manoeuvre it with other weapons, but only about two or three. When you go into a match, what do you see? Oh yeah, just about everyone using thorn. Every now and then you'll see a TLW or Red Death, something similar to that, but that's still no diversity. When the auto rifles were nerfed, it took out an entire class from the game practically. That's 25% of the weapons just abandoned. Now you look and hand cannons. Everyone says "oh well look at the ill will and red hand" that's still a hand cannon. Now let's see here, head shots are 85 right? Burn turns that into 120, now add 85 for another shot, you're already dead. Two shots and you're dead, one shot and you're practically dead because you're wounded and people coming around the corner will have no problem taking you out. The fact that it has 5 ticks of 7 damage is OP. They should at least lower it to 5 damage per tick, 3 ticks, that way it could still technically two shot, but they'd have to get a headshot after the burn damage is gone. Now, I think that they should also negate the effect after you're dead, or have it not able to kill you, just leave you with minimal health. That's still pretty powerful, but not as overpowered as it is now. If it wasn't overpowered, you wouldn't see it every crucible match you enter, and people who claim they have skill with it, would also be open to using other weapons, but the using because they like to hide behind a shoot and forget weapon, that anyone can use. By the way, the fact that TrueVanguard told Bungie to take a good hard look at those exotic hand cannons, it was a big hint to say, nerf the weapons already, try and get it right and achieve balance, not a one way fight against those with 20/20.

  • Nerf. I agree with you. No skill required when you have a pistol that can two shot and has the range of a rifle. Yeah its easy to out play one thorn, but when all three of them are using it all they have to do is run and spray. you are going to get hit by randy bullets with the bullshit poison damage and then you're dead. Because honorless cheats and cowards can only play with one gun.

  • Just out of curiosity how much damage would it take to kill someone in reg crucible, is it 200? 100 for shield and 100 for health?

    Anyone who wants nerfs is a scrub.. Simple. Everyone is using thorn right? Seems pretty balanced to me. Everyone using the same gun.

  • That's still no diversity and it's no fun. Oh everyone has the exact same gun so it's balanced! No it feels like CoD, everyone has a life span of 2 seconds me there's constant rage because you have to use one weapon. You're so simple minded that you can't see that BUNGIE says they want diversity in weapons. Just wait til Thursday, they'll most likely nerf them into the ground until you'd rather use paper balls than thorn.

  • You call us scrubs because we don't want people to use one gun, all I'm saying is make it so that people can use any weapon, not just one or two. The people that use one weapon over and over are the true scrubs and as soon as its nerfed, you'll start crying over how you can't use your thorn anymore. If you had skill, you wouldn't use just one weapon, you'd use different weapons every game and still have "skill." But you hide behind a weapon that carried you through and call anyone that doesn't use it a scrub. Can't wait until Thursday, I'm almost certain it will get nerfed, and that will give me the right to come back here and tell you to suck my ass.

  • Lol I'm going to use whatever the best weapon is best at the moment. I came from cod mlg gamebattles scrub. I'll adjust. Whatever the next op weapon is, I'll just use it. If I die by it, I'm not gonna come to the forums and cry like the scrubs do.

  • Agreed, weapon rebalancing is on the wish list - which isn't saying much I guess.
