Hey. I really don't think Thorn should have been nerfed. It really just isn't good anymore. Almost everything can outgun the Thorn in it's current state. It really just isn't worth taking up the exotic slot anymore. Anyway, just my opinion.
-
most handcannons are trash right now they need their stability back

-
it kills faster than eyasluna and has similar hit detection...
-
Good. Keep that in the past. It's right where it needs to be
-
Hand cannons are worthless right now, thorn is a joke. My son and I both 400 both using thorn felt barely as powerful as one thorn used to be. The poison is worthless. I'm one that used thorn as my main back in the day too...loved that gun.
-
It's an average handcannon now

Edited by cuzzybubba1: 1/25/2017 8:00:17 PMThe range nerf killed it for sure, the ghost bullets are pretty common now with it whereas before it was a solid gun. They nerf'd the range for no reason especially after they released an artifact for cry babies who didn't like DoT. Everything about the gun is sub-par, they ruined it just like everything they touch. At this point, restoring it's range is a must or it becomes another vault dweller.

Thorn is a 3-tap hand cannon just like any other hand cannon without luck in the chamber. It doesn't have the range perks that some legendaries have, but it has a faster rate of fire. So in any mid-range situation, Thorn still has a faster TTK if you can land headshots. I think they want to make it a viable exotic they either need to buff the burn damage a bit more or increase range/add rangefinder.

I remember back in year 1 when thorn was really good, my buddies and I all went into control, and we all would use thorn and watch as the other team quit. The good ol days
-
Haha imagine these crybabies who can't even put up with clever dragon trying to put up with the old sniper 2 tap 42 burn damage thorn 😂
-
hard light sucks ass but i dont see people posting to get it buffed. you scrubs need to let your crutches go already smh
-
Really? I'm having no problems with my thorn. Maybe you should take yours back and replace it under warranty? Seriously though, after playing with it since vanilla, it's fine. You can either max out the range or you can max stability. I swap between the two depending on map size. I also team it up with my sunsinger so that the burns work together for easier kills. True, the dots were decreased from the Y1 madness but it still helps as a tracker when I'm not running memory of G or my nightstalker.
-
Not had the year three one yet. How do I get it?
-
I've been using Thorn A LOT lately, it's in a shit place right now. Pre Rise of Iron nerf it was perfect why Bungie decide to nerf it is completely beyond me. Idiotic decision! Hawkmoon's Ok better than Thorn anyway, just.
-
Make Hawkmoon great again. #Hawkmoon2017
-
Agreed. After a short trial run (never got it y1) it's been vaulted ever since.
-
What does thorn need to make it better? I think it needs stability. It's a high rof cannon. So it should play like that. But the recoil direction is terrible compared to its brethren.
-
It shot someone in this shooting game. They complained, it was nerfd. It was nerfd again. Finally, it's basic premise was redesigned to appease those shot by it. It's Destiny. It's a Shooter where good guns are bad, and complaining is good. By Destiny year-10, Bungie will have to explain how we defeated the Darkness with water pistols! Personally, I will only sign in that year to hear the excuse. If the Darkness is defeated by us, they deserved it!
-
I think the Thorn is fine the way it is, remembering the days when the DOT was way OP and getting one shotted by it was ridiculous...
-
Now Pac-Man isn’t just a game you play, it’s a crispy corn cereal that’s coming your way! New Pac-Man! Chomp! Chomp! Delicious! There’s Inky, and Pinky, and Blinky and Clyde! We’re marshmallow bits you’ll find inside new Pac-Man! Chomp! Chomp! Delicious!”
-
Agreed it's nerf was too harsh it just needed to loose it's ability to 2 shot someone
-
Agreed
-
I don't want OG thorn, but they really should give it better dot at least
-
I don't think they've done enough nerfs to it. If I had my way, it would be removed from the game entirely. I played in Year One, and I still hate that gun and anyone that uses it with a passion. -blam!- Thorn.
-
The one thing I found about thorn is the burn it does. Not for getting kills but the distraction it creates when you hit someone. They immediately stop what they are doing to run.
-
Agreed
