I have over 26000 kills with thorn. I have used thorn since week 3 and it easily became my favorite gun to use in PvE and PvP. I never believed it needed a buff. It was one of the best guns period. The buff just destroyed this weapon's reputation.. I haven't touched thorn in a while. I just feel cheap using it. Just put it back to its prebuff stage.. it was a great weapon. I have moved on to the NLB. I really hope bungie doesn't break this gun as well if they decide to buff it.
