    My understanding is that you no longer benefit having anything thing higher than 60 resilience. Am I missing something here?

    • Yes. Resilience doesn't help as much against precision weapons(hand cannons, scouts) as it does tracking weapons (assault rifles, smgs).

      Thorn is not just a kinetic weapon, it shoots poison darts. Those darts Also deal damage over time eat away your health.

        100 is max, and the only stat that really is important is Recovery.

          Wtf. You'd get 3 tapped no matter the resilience boiii[spoiler]edit : having 6 or higher resilience stops thorn from 2 tapping with soul devour. All 150 rpm's will 3 tap to the head to state the obvious . [/spoiler]

          Is this a serious post? With 0 resilience, your health/ shields is 186, with 100 resilience, your it's 201. After about 70 or 80, you gain 2 or 3 instead of 1. Thorn crits for 68, not including the poison damage that stacks 5 times doing 2 damage (7 while buffed) and proccing 4 or 5 times. Let me do the math for you. 68x3=204. That's more damage than you have health/ shields. While buffed, it can 2 tap, more reliaby if combined with Foetracer's damage buff. Let's say the poison procs 4 times. That's 68x2=136+28(2)=192, you'll survive if you have 70 resilience and that's if the guy isn't using Foetracer and it's buff that activates after your health reaches about 30%. Otherwise since this game likes to round decimals up (even if it's 50.01 like TLW before the rework), that's PROBABLY (I don't know the exact numbers) 136+32(2)=198. You would need 80-90 resilience to survive. Let's look at it unbuffed. It already 3 taps without the buff or the poison. Continuing with the assumption the poison procs 4 times, that's 204+8(3)=224. With Foetracer, that's PROBABLY 204+12(3)=240. So by all means, feel free to explain how it's so outrageous that a 150 HC can 3 tap when the numbers clearly say they're supposed to, especially with it's poison damage. Edit: You want to complain about your maxed resilience not doing anything for you, especially against an exotic with high dps? How do you think I feel with my hunter having maxed mobility, top tree nightstalker (bonus sprint speed), stompees (even more sprint speed), and a lightweight weapon in hand still being outrun by warlocks and titans with half the mobility still moving faster than me either because of a jump ability, light attack spam, or because supers like Spectral or Fist increase sprint speed by that much? If you're asking for a buff to resilience, NO! Not unless hunter sprint, mobility, and/ or stompees gets a buff too. If you're asking for Thorn to be nerfed, NO! Edit 2: Forgot to do this when going on about the damage while buffed. 68x3=204+28(3)=288. If you were to somehow be hit 5 times, that's 204+28(5)=384. While buffed, it can almost if not kill a super with 60 resilience in 5 crits, that's without Foetracer's buff. Again, of all exotic primaries, it's dps is among the highest, why is it a problem for it to 3 tap when it's damage unbuffed with Foetracer is about the same as pre-nerf Luna/ NF?

          • You only need 50-60 resilience maximum. 100 is just pointless

          • Resilience only defends against specific ammo types, thorn has poison, which bypasses your shields.... Resilience is just shields.....

            • You can’t avoid a three tap with thorn or any 150 in optimal range. What you can avoid is a 3 tap made up of 2 headshots, 1 body body shot at 6 resilience but three headshots will always get the job done. 6 resilience will also avoid a thorn 2 tap when the soul devourer perk is active.

              Max resilience will only protect you from certain things, Thorn three taps due to its Poison being true damage and ignoring your res stat, making you weak enough to 3 tap. What your res will protect you from though is damage buffs on weapons, kill clip for example, or Eriana's Vow in empowering rift or with a damage buff can't 1 tap you to the head and snipers can't 1 tap you to the body with damage buffs Res doesn't change what it takes for weapons to drop you though. A 180 will still drop you 4 shots to the head no matter what 0 res, 4 shots, 100 res, 4 shots. Thorn is a 150 and will 3 tap with all headshots, but thanks to the poison it can also 3 tap body or 1 to the head and 2 to the body. Best counter for Thorn though is positioning or E-Rounds Thorn can't handle the bloom that Explosive Rounds apply, which is why Sunshot or Trust can counter Thorn so easily.
