Some viable ideas for nerfing thorn
It has been months upon months that thorn has been reigning supreme in the crucible...
And many people want a nerf (myself included) but the problem is finding a nerf that allows thorn to maintain its role as a top tier exotic weapon (in the crucible)
The first nerf is one that all should agree on and is a very simple fix... DECREASE THE RANGE... Now some will argue that Thorns range is part of thorns exotic trade mark... That is possible and to that I say that a more viable nerf would be to higher the damage drop off to where thorn is a 4 shot kill at distances beyond say 40 game meters. (An in game comparison would be the waterfall hallway on pantheon... That distance should be the very max range in which thorn should have full damage) and also increase damage drop off greatly.
The next nerf I propose is to increase the time between each burn tick mark caused by thorn. This in my opinion is the most needed nerf because it will allow thorn to maintain a 2 shot to the head kill, but gives prey a longer time alive after being hit which gives them more time to possibly find a way to regen their health or return fire.
The last nerf I propose is to slightly downgrade the critical damage by 3-4 hit points so that it takes more burn ticks to kill, but again still maintains thorns 2 shot capabilities....
That is all I put on the table. Comment your opinions :D

2 RepliesOr xur could sell red death, which completely obliterates thorn 9/10 times if youre even slightly skilled in crucible. Hey look at that xur is selling red death. Go level it up and once you get the healing perk you dont have to worry about crying on forums because you cant kill thorns anymore

Make the DoT tick less or tick for less damage @ the same rate.

With the last word, you can run and attack during reload because it empties ammo hella fast and you approach it from long range since most average players can't snipe with it. Thorn has better handling and is more accurate than the last word and negates quick health regen so getting double teamed is very lethal when you can't regen. My personal fix is that I feel that the burn effect stops after another enemy fires on you. So the two shot kill potential is still there but you aren't as easily double teamed especially 2+ thorns is always lethal as hell and that's what makes trials hell which is what everyone complains about. I totally believe thorn should remain top tier but it's cheap when you meet a team of them. [spoiler]however I don't want bungie to nerf thorn because then they'll just destroy handcannons and I'd rather have one op gun than have all handcannons nerfed. If we all agreed on a single fix then bungie would still most likely nerf handcannons overall. [/spoiler]

2 RepliesJust reduce its fire rate and lower its range. Fixed.
