Thorn, even with it's previously slow handling and shallow cylinder, was manageable in PvP. Now with it's recent buff, lots of people are going to want to try it out again.
It shouldn't surprise anyone to see that it's really good now, because it was never really [i]that[/i] bad.

Correct. I think alot of people jumped on the thorn band wagon and said it was crap because everyone else did. I got the thorn pre patch and even with no perks after 30 mins it was already one of my favourite handcannons despite having TLW and other legendary handcannons, and had no problem getting 2 kds in pvp without perks and killing stuff in pve. That damage along with its range and accuracy are some of the highest out of any other handcannon besides hawkmoon range. Thorn still has better accuracy tho i think

Hmm. Fatebringer would free up an exotic slot. Though, I suppose that would only matter if your preferred special or heavy weapon is an exotic. But, how could pass up on the utility of being able to shoot someone and letting the damage numbers tell you where they are when they try to hide?

That is actually a pretty damn awesome feature now for Thorn. You can either expect what the player is doing, since they are highlighted when being damaged and or call out to team mates on the enemies location, so they can keep an eye out for that location, while you go take care of someone else.
