Its definitely a possibility. Sound off below if you agree with OP and would like to see Thorn reprised in the future. Or if you disagree and want it to remain locked away in the Vault forever.

So remove the burn effect entirely? It only dose 1 damage per tick, with 2 ticks per shot.
-
No like two or three point of damage but with two or three ticks enough to kill if the enemy is badly damage an they jump behind cover but still die
-
? I'm confused. You can't nerf it past what it already is nerfed too unless you down right remove it. Didn't you say it should be shortened? It is 2 ticks for 1 damage. If your shot 3 times it dose 6 damage. You litterally can't even tell your losing health on your health par when hit by it it's so weak. It's no 4 ticks of 9 damage, nor 3 ticks of 2 damage no its 2 ticks of 1 damage. That is nothing. Any grende will kill you faster. Hell any solar burn mela will kill you faster. And it dosen't even kill you behind cover. 3 shots leaves you with enough health that if someone sneezes in the general direction you will die but that's it.

The DoT already is basically non existent The nerfed it so it only does lik 1 or 2 damage now. Used to be 7. Needs a bit of a buff now IMO its pretty weak now compared to other HCs
-
it is. there should be a buff to the tick: 1 damage is ridiculous. Or make it so headshots grand 3-4 DoT while bodyshots grant 1 only.
-
Thats a good idea!
-
Well you have to remember it's stats or still stuck in year one if they get brought back they would be up to par with current weapons. So maybe the power alone plus the small bit of poison damage would be enough to make it an effective gun. Make it effective in both pve an pvp with out it being op in pvp would be a challenge cause of the bleeding effect from pvp an pve not being separated. So try looking at it from that point add alittle more damage out put on the basic of the gun an keep the small bit of poison damage so it doesn't become an op crutch again. An I still say bring back the exotic quests cause I'm tired of noobs an every asshole an there cousin haveing an exotic without working for that exotic its like if you have an exotic I better see battle damage on that armor or I'll throw you off the tower an watch you die type deal.
-
I suppose. They make its a bit harder to shoot with the recoil so you would shoot it slower. If you dont get all geadshots with it it really isnt effective. And im not 100% sure about the DoT but i think they made the duration of the DoT shorter too. So it really only finishes a player off if they are left with a small bit of health.
-
Not even finishes them. Thorn is by all standards a bad hand cannon. A even worse exotic.
-
Well either way maybe more recoil would bring some alignment to it. So let's see I said more damage small bit of poison effect an you said more recoil hell anything else that could give an idea of how it should be if it's brought back.
-
Id be happy if it had a bit less recoil. The pre april update seemed fine by many. I just tried it out again today and it was egh.
-
Oh my bad thought you said more. So more damage small bit of poison damage an less recoil anything else
-
If they leave the DoT where it is, less recoil would help get headshots a little easier thus making it easier to compete with other primaries. I think its a 3 headshot kill,now but i havent used it enough to know for sure. Im by no means asking for how it was in y1 although that was reaaaally fun. Idk. I had a lot of fun with this gun and would like to be able use it again and do well.
-
It was the most challenging quest next to chaperone an the most satisfying quest to when you got it it sucks that it was nerfed but it's a year one gun an shouldn't be in use at the moment but people use it thinking it's going to make a difference. But if it's brought back alittle more power give it enough poison damage to where if there almost dead it kills them an less recoil so it can give headshots more successfully an less rate of fire with a fixed recoil. Yea have to take one out to make it worth it or fear of the op assholes comeing back to get bungie to nerf it.
-
Sadly they are still here trying to get it nerfed more. No joke I saw a nerf post for it like a month ago.
-
No! Nerf it a couple more times, then bring it back in y3 as a reward for preordering so we can pay for it again!!...drool, drool, drool [spoiler]#satire[/spoiler]
-
Yes, make the thorns (DOT) do 3 damage but it only last for four ticks instead of six. They should also make a quest for it and you can only get it from Eris Morn.
-
Yes thorn thorn thorn thorn thorn thornthorn thorn thornthorn thorn thornthorn thorn thorn
-
With what the thorn is now, I have no complaints. Hated it when it consistantly 2 shotted. Now its in a good spot and maybe just give it bonus burn damage in PvE.
-
Thorn must return!
-
Yes thorn needs to come back immediately!
-
Come on its been nerfed 3 times. It is outclassed by every hand cannon with decent range. It dosen't even feal exotic exsept for its look and bullets. The fact that it isn't year 2 is redicules.
-
NO PLEASE NO MORE THORN
-
Why it's been nerfed 3 times and any legendary hand cannon with decent range out classes it. It's a glorified legendary that takes up your exotic slot.

Edited by Knacko: 7/31/2016 3:33:10 PMThorn, Icebreaker, AND Pocket Infinity. They never should've been locked away from being useable in the Taken King activities. Plus, Exotics exclusive to Legacy Raids should be brought up to power level in some way (bring them to current light level, quest, etc.).
