They way Thorn is now would have been perfect against the other good primaries in the HoW era. Unfortunately, all the best guns keep getting nerfed. I'd take on a Thorn the way it is today with the old Messenger any day, but that architype of pulse rifle got hit hard. The biggest problem with this game is that the primary weapons keep getting worse and worse. Don't nerf Thorn, instead buff our other primaries.
