Thanks for increasing the thorn usage. Cant believe that thorn and year one weapons are being allowed in the tourney coming up. Cant wait for thorn to come back to the crucible again and everyone to be running around with overpowered rolls again. GG.
That gun, no matter what gets done to it will always be amazing simply because it is the only gun that puts a DoT on a player, something that has no place in the crucible, at least not from a primary weapon.
This is the one exotic that should never come forward. Ever, unless the DoT is completely removed. It's too good and is still way better than all the other legendary hand cannons as it easily 3 shot body shots.
Bungie restrict year one weapons to classics for -blam!-s sake. If they want to go have fun with those broken guns, that you removed from the game for a reason, then let them in their own playlists or better yet, make some -blam!-ing custom games
Edit 1: strong correlation between high k/d's and agreeing with this post.
Also strong correlation with low medal score and low k/d with disagreeing with this post.
Go hang out in any of the big PVP streamers like triple wreck and they are all using thorn again because that's all anyone is going to be using in the sweaty tourney.
If you have a low medal score, maybe you shouldn't argue with players that have more play time in PVP than you have in the entire game.
Edit 2: a lot of you are hung up on the fact that it is exotic. Just because it is exotic doesn't mean it should be better than the legendary weapons in the class. Bungie has done a good job with this with every class except hand cannons. (Gjallarhorn is an outlier)
Edit 3: There are some of you that think the burn now functions differently in PVE and PVP now, which is most definitely not the case. There are also some who don't believe that 3 body shots and walk away works so here is this clip:

3 RisposteI see you have Bad JuJu equipped... That's a Y1 weapon. Unequip now.
-
I propose to make the dot more like toxic spikes from pokemon. Fire thorns at the ground and as opponents walk over them they will slowly burn to death, with the dot increasing more and more every second.

2 RisposteIt's been nerfed and is a shadow of its former self. It's also a really cool gun! Maybe people miss using it? These last few days I've been pulling out patience and time, mythoclast, Thorn and ghorn for random crucible action. I miss year one guns I'm sorry.
-
2 RisposteWrong Thorn is just as good as other weapons since its nerf. Use it
-
8 RisposteMake the DoT only proc on headshots
-
4 RisposteI use thorn only in pve.
-
It's all in your mind
-
Boo hoo : (
-
Bro, it's just PVP. Lighten up Francis.
-
I don't pvp, but little whiner bitches like you are ruining this game. Dear Bungie, please completely seperate PVP and PVE weapons in Destiny 2. Let these fukin sqeakers cry nerf till mommy makes them do their homework.
-
I totally agree
-
I totally agree, thorn breaks the PvP balance and does not allow to counter the weapon easily. Thorn just vomits green all over the meta.
-
1 RispondiWhen is the tourney and who is hosting it?
-
Nobody cares If you're doing sweats expect sweaty load outs
-
The original thorn only out a DoT on the final round they need to have it do that again and itll be balanced.
-
Tears Collected

8 RisposteIf you are losing to a year one weapon, maybe you're just bad?
-
It's a good exotic hand cannon. Are you scarred by it or what? Lol
-
10 RisposteFrom a player with a higher medal score and KD than you, just chill bro. Thorn isn't that great anymore, at least not compared to its year 1 status. Lots of things can counter it, and great players can counter any weapon thrown at them, just remember that. :)
-
Thorn is being used by these guys because the dot disables shield and health regen. Not a great gun but super effective in elimination type matches.
-
I think that the DOT should come from the weapon's base damage, so you don't just get extra damage just because it's exotic
-
1 RispondiI was watching nkuch win the tournament and alot of people were using thorn and k thought that was very sad
-
1 RispondiSO MANY THORN DEFENDERS IN HERE. Honestly though, they will hate on you so much because they love using whatever the easiest weapon is in the game. I see so many of the people in here with several thousand thorn kills. they think they are "skilled" with 1.5+ kd ratios, yet they have so many thorn, Mida, and last word kills.
-
Who sweats when they play Destiny? I'm freezing the whole time lol.
-
44 RisposteAt birth, baby elephants weigh about 250 pounds. Making them the biggest babies on earth. Right after your bitch ass.
-
4 RisposteI hated the Thorn when it was at the top of the food chain. It disgusted me to have one in my vault. I took it out a few days ago to try it out. The gun is perfectly balanced and Bungie actually nerfed a gun properly. If someone using a year 1 weapon to have some fun in regular crucible bothers you, you must be a sad little man.
