I don't think the thorn is op. I've been playing a lot of crucible recently and I've noticed it takes 3 shots and the burn will kill you. 2 head shots and it's possible to die. Now you may think to yourself "if this burn wasn't so ridiculous I would of survived that gun fight" but what I've come to realize is that if you died from the burn you would of been flat out killed if it was another handgun. If I remember correctly, my thorn hits 87's in PvP with 7 burn counter. My hawkmoon hits 90's in PvP and 120 if I get the bonus damage bullet. I don't know how much my last word hits because I just rapid fire from the hip with it. I barely use that one. When I play PvP and kill my opponent but die to his thorn's burn I tell myself I would of died before I killed him if he was using a different handcannon. I get almost all of my kills from a legendary shotgun called judgment 6. I typically come in first and rarely get in position 4+. I think the exotics have a big bark but can be out matched.

Thanks for the positive response.

A head shot plus waiting for the burn will drop a player to around 25% health. It can 2 shot so long as 1 of them is a head shot. Im not complaining either its a great gun, but i prefer RD myself. Anyone without it will say its OP then once they get it and level it they either adjust to it or stop using it after awhile. Im really not a fan of HC's

In PvP I use red death but 80% of the time I use judgment 6. But that's less relevant to this guy's post.

Felwinters shot package and hammer forged, basically as long as I don't miss from 10 ft they die in one hit lol

I've never had that gun unfortunately

Edited by l23kilSHOT: 3/25/2015 11:14:31 PMIt's pretty crazy, I bought one when they sold it IB then got another randomly after a match, I rerolled it a couple times and finally got those 2 perks together

I haven't been able to get the rank to buy a weapon from IB. The only challenges I do are the 10k exp and headshots. And bungie's RNG I've never got a legendary from IB.

That's unfortunate, make sure you save up your motes and buy the mark of the iron lords(I think that's what it's called) it's increases your rep gains as the event progresses as much as 150% I think towards the last couple of days. I feel like the chance for a legendary is increased during IB matches I seem to get more during that than normal crucible lots of ships usually but I got both a ghelions and felwinters through rng after matches in this last IB
