I'm curious to know what you guys think of Thorn in PvP. Is it overpowered? Or is it fine how it is?
I would like this to be a respectful discussion, so please stick to discussing and not attacking and degrading others, thanks
I'll start it off. I think Thorn needs a revisit. I was thinking about the other Exotic hand cannons. The Last Word is a two hit headshot if you are in hip fire, and then the gun is a short ranged weapon. The Hawkmoon is a two hit thanks to it's perks, but that does not guarantee a two hit kill every time. Thorn does not have a range problem, and is always a two hit kill, you don't have the uncertainty Hawkmoon has. It's much much better than the other Exotic hand cannons! (That does not mean that the other hand cannons are bad, or that they are not fun to use) Another point is that many many people use Thorn in Trials and IB, and for good reason. This gun is very powerful.
Your thoughts? I'd love to hear them.
Your rebuke? I'd love to hear it.
I apologize to the regulars on this forum who have seen posts like this many times. I'm not a regular, so I didn't know there were hundreds of the same discussion

3 RisposteI think it's fine and if auto rifles hadn't ever been nerfed to the point of being unusable nobody would be complaining about it. The solution to "fix" thorn isn't to make it worse, then everyone would just use the last word or whatever the new flavor of the month is, the solution is to make other guns that are competitive with thorn so you actually have choices.

3 RisposteI think the range on Thorn is a major problem. When you can hit people with accuracy at the same ranges as sniper rifles, there is a problem. Outside of that, I think the only other change I would recommend is that the DoT (burn) stops immediately if you kill the person using the Thorn. Since you mentioned TLW, I will say that I think the range is broken on that too. While it shows it has very short range, that thing can definitely kill at mid range, which shouldn't be possible if the range stat is what it is.
