Think very very carefully before you nerf the Thorn Bungie. Make sure you test the living hell out of it before you even consider putting any changes live. DO NOT nerf it to the point of it being almost useless #ripsuros. When I was using Thorn before the buff, I said countless times it need either a reload speed buff OR a clip size increase; nothing more or less. You went and gave it everything. Now I beg of you to listen this time. Only remove 1 or at max 2 things from it. Stability should be reduced, no questions there. Maybe a rate of fire reduction; but that's pushing it. I don't want to see another weapon become useless.
[spoiler]And yes; I am certain they will nerf it. Enough people complained about it when it "sucked" despite it being an amazing gun and it got buffed. It's only a matter of time before it is nerfed.[/spoiler]

1 ReplySo what's the weapon everybody is going to cry about after they nerf Thorn? Hawkmoon? TLW? The Vex again? Felwinter's? There's always one...

Edited by Sonic Roctopus: 4/29/2015 6:48:55 AMIf bungies smart they won't nerf it. That would mean they nerf last word too. Then red death will be the best pvp gun and people will want that nerfed. I'd rather two handcannons be the most used gun than a single gun (suros) that took a lot less skill to use. Bungie would be smarter to simply buff autos and scouts a tiny bit rather than nerfs that seem to throw things out of balance.

Needs a nerf to damage. It hits as hard as FB and Red hand, despite having lower impact. That, or RoF. Reload is in line with other HCs. DoT is a pain in the ass, but it's kinda it's thing.

1 ReplyINHO having used the weapon before buff and after, it is indeed in need of rebalancing. Yes it did need a buff to Rof and how many rounds it could carry. Bungie did both now everyone is using this gun. I would like to see the thorn going back to the original 6 rounds it had. This would counterbalance spraying the rounds. I do not see people recalling those days.

3 RepliesYou know it was nerfed once already, right?

4 RepliesIt needs the dot cut in half and have the effect canceled if the player using thorn is killed and then it would be fine.

DoT should be affected by range. The most annoying thing about Thorn is when people just use it to inflict DoT from the other side of the map.

6 RepliesIs Suros took no skill the Thorn certainly takes no skill. Just hip fire twice and the target is as good as dead when the burn kicks in

Give it ridiculous recoil that is really really hard to control without Perfect Balance.
