Can I offer an easy solution to the Thorn "problem"?
Simply change the Mark of the Devourer perk so that damage over time does not affect Guardians. Would this not solve the biggest issue with this weapon?
Edit.
I've received a few other interesting ideas in this thread:
● make it so mark has a chance of activating not guaranteed.
● only the first round does DoT
● have an armour perk that denies DoT.

Holy crap 750 replies! How is this not trending?
The only problem with Thorn is people need something to blame on their deaths. If it's not Thorn it will be shotguns, or Red Death or lag. You get the point.
It's the "I'm MLGproNoscope1337" generation and nobody wants to think it's their fault for not taking cover or running out in the open.
I rarely die by a thorn user and never die because of just the poison killing me, and I suck at Crucible.
