You must be a thorn user. It'll be hard to budge you but here it goes. The burn from the thorn burns for around 4 seconds more or less... Blah but if you win a gun fight against one but they get that lucky shot off before they die the burn shouldn't take you out... It's like the bolt grenades that warlocks and hunters have if they throw them at you right before they die it doesn't go off killing you, it'll stop in mid air and pop. And quite frankly dying and having the burn do the rest to get you that kill isn't skill it's nonsense. This wouldn't even a nerf to the gun either.
