The thorn is no where near what it use to be so i dnt understand why ppl complain dosnt 2 shot anymore and the burn isnt as strong and dosnt last as long and to the people who say its a crutch then more then likely they call every gun they die by a crutch

The burn does one less damage per tick and still kills guardians in 3 body shots. Coupled with the fact that it fires faster than most hand cannons because of its archetype it's outshoots pretty much everything with a low skill level requirement

If you hit 1 precision and 2 body shots with that archetype, for example word of crota, you'll kill any guardian except a max armor Titan I believe. Add the burning tick and you are closer to a timurs lash damage per shot with a much faster fire rate. In my opinion I always thought that was the most unskilled part of the thorn because at least to be a 2 shot kill you needed 2 precisions not just a 3 shot spam
