Because the real solution is to buff weapons so they stand a chance against it. My proof is the (not so recent) uproar of ARs needing a buff. If such a mediocre and highly used weapon in fps gets buffed, thorn AND TLW will have something to look out for. Also, if they were supposed to patch something out of thorn, make it a debuff of the poisin effect and make it 2 damage less. As for TLW, there are strategies you can use to get away from that gun. Just make consistent movements to weave shots from cover to cover and aim for the head, tlw users always seem to stay stationary when shooting that gun or move in one set direction. Use that to your advantage. Your welcome for giving you a strategy instead of the usual "git gud skrub" crap on these competitive based forums[spoiler] even though you probably deserve that treatment if my advice didn't go through your head when you played this game for the past 6 months plus... Seriously man, git gud[/spoiler]
Edit: increase auto rifles damage by 1%, making the 2.5% debuff a 1.5% debuff as a result and debuff thorns poisin by two damage. Making it go from 7 to 5.

Thorn requires either a stability or ROF nerf, that's it.

Because nerfs only lead to more nerfs. Evidence? The history of every previous nerf in the game. Cause/effect with no end.

1 ReplyWhat makes you think Bungie will nerf the Thorn. So far they're good at doing nothing.
-
Because for months and months and months there were topics called buff the thorn and Thorn is trash. That's why.

2 RepliesEdited by Ankokuseibutsu: 7/8/2015 10:00:31 AMNo buffing. Those two weapons need a nerf because this isn't cod so the TTK would be too high on all weapons and currently TLW can outgun a HMG like jolders or Btrd... And that my friend is broken. Thorns ability to disable enemies from pushing and recover normally is simply too high. My recommendation aside from also reverting it back to 6bullets and slow reload is DOT activates on head shot only and have the recovery timer start from when the last bullet hits, and not when the DOT finishes. That would go for Viking funeral grenades as well. That way high recovery builds can outlive the two hit headshot and people that body spam thorn hits don't get rewarded for their spamming of inaccurate hits. Both of those meta weapons are noob friendly by allowing the ability to just spam shots without the need to be accurate.
