Thorn
Thorn sux now. It's stupid. Needs buffed back up come on. No exception. It's still an excellent gun no worries but damn what's the point
-
1 ReplyPersonally I'd like to see it play more with the DoT. Make it a low impact HC and increase the Damage per tic. Make it more of a harassment weapon than a 3 shot kill. Add a few other weapons like this, maybe a solar weapon that burns, or an ark that electrocutes, or a void weapon that reduces your vision with each hit you take. (All exotic of course , legendaries would be OP) The possibilities are endless.

4 RepliesThey'll never buff it because the crucibabies are the only way ones they listen to. Bungie shakes in their boots at the very thought that some PVP noobs will complain about it so they'd rather leave it on the ash heap they tossed it in after the last couple of nerfs. It's sad really.
-
1 ReplyAnother one of those complainers.. its like a casual loop in the weapons mechanism.
-
2 RepliesA lot of people who ask for buffs will want things nerfed after they die by them a couple of times. I miss when primary weapons were stronger, though...
-
Thorn does need a buff. The people that use it rely too much on DoT to do the work. I propose they remove DoT and in turn have users buff their play style. It's probably the best solution.
-
Once we start seeing silimar often it will need a buff
-
The Thorn is a 3 shot hand cannon. It DOESNT suck, and people complain that it sucks because THEY suck with it. True the dot dmg is its exotic perk which doesnt work too well, but if people are relying on the dot dmg to get them the kill of course they will complain. Typical no skilled noob logic.

It would be nice if the poison lasted longer like Khepri's Sting.

8 RepliesThe point is it WAS OP that's why it got nerfed

1 ReplyEdited by PlutoIsAPlanet: 9/29/2016 3:01:31 PMI don't know why Thorn got a range nerf. It's like they did to the Hawkmoon; clipped the wings but to much to make it wingless. But how I see it, Thorn is one of those weapons where Bungie have to carefully balance thw HC. If they buff it to much it's OP or if they nerf it to much it "sucks" (they took that route). [spoiler]I barely have any experience and barely used Thorn Year 1. I like the Nechrochasm and Hawkmoon way better than the Thorn. Last word was my first exotic HC and was my main but to cheesy with the ADS killing a person in 1 second (Literally). [/spoiler]
-
I agree with the slight impact buff, but the burn should stay the same or else will be a two shot kill like it was
-
3 RepliesThe quest was too easy as well. Year 1 vets remember the grind. No penalties for deaths and just a regular strike to complete. 1 day of work and the hardest part was farming a skeleton key
-
I just acquired the year 3 Thorn and it definitely has been nerfed on range. I haven't used my year one in a while but I remember it was a competitive hand cannon for a while.
-
8 RepliesEdited by Diamond D Nice: 9/29/2016 8:17:49 AMGood. The return of thorn is one reason I decided to skip rise of iron. At least a sucky thorn is one more thing that I wouldn't have to dislike. I hated thorn. I was glad it was gone.
-
No me as a thorn user like how it is! In yr1 this gun was just a noob wepon
-
Didn't receive the bounty yet, good old rng. I admit I used it a lot in year one, but if its trash most likely not now.
-
10 RepliesI had a Thorn from last year and used it last year, it was totally overpowered, the burn dmg just too much and the range is just like a scout rifle, and it just totally fine right now, it's balance, so don't expect for buffing lol
-
1 ReplyHaha! You have stirred up a hornets nest mate! All the scrubs that couldn't complete the Y1 quest to get a Thorn saying "no". LMAO 😆
-
Hahahahaha no
-
4 RepliesI think it's fine. The point of the exotic perk is that it helps you track your foes behind cover.
-
3 Repliesany of you realise that the DoT is ment to stop shields/hp from regenerating?
-
3 RepliesDOT is OP, I'm wrecking with ROI thorn. Had a 5.0 with it earlier today. I think it's fine as is.
