there are so many posts saying "Thorn needs a buff! It's garbage!" which is true. but..... [spoiler]ALL PRIMARIES NEED A BUFF[/spoiler]
but I think I know how to fix the mark of the devourer perk. instead of a consistent stream of the same damage, we could have the perk become less powerful over time. for example, say you land a shot. The burn starts off doing 5 damage, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1. i don't know the exact numbers on the current and past burn damage, but imo this would make the thorn balanced again
The DoT on Thorn IMO should not be used for extra damage, but to keep health re-gen from happening. Keep the DoT at 2 where it is now but increase the length of it. Oh, and give it back its range. That was a needless nerf.
