Thorn is much better than every single weapon in pvp and if you believe in a balanced pvp you should want a nerf. If u don't tell me why. Please have well though out answers and no shit like 'git gud'. Be sensible Edit: please try be constructive. I want this to be a discussion not people crying and moaning everywhere Edit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7FV9l4hXo2tHD3XlFUp854XvJIwTKFIPvASLduPPS4/htmlview?pli=1 Have a look at this

  • I honestly just don't think it's that bad. The dot on it really hasn't been a big issue for me. I am not a die hard crucible player so I may not have the experience others do... but I kinda think felwinter is worse for pvp than thorn and I still don't think it should be nerfed.

          • give ARs back the 2.5% dmg they needlessly took away and watch what will happen. TKK for primaries are about as close as they can get, most being within about .3 seconds. btw this IB ive died to TLW wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than any other gun.

              • Thorns a good gun but it's no different to guns like suros red death last word vex and all the other good guns if you hit all the bullets your shooting they Die no different to how they would with suros on trials and iron banner from a 34 with max thorn it take 3 shots to the body or 2 to the head but people have been using the final round perk to their advance leaving 2 or even 1 bullet in the mag and getting a headshot with it and Everyone is saying it should be. Nerfed but red death if you hit all 3 of the bullets to the head it's a kill and it regens health so thorn can be countered at range with a gun like suros and from close with last word or vex so in my opinion it's fine the way it is

              • Thorn is actually not that great imo. Pros: It excels at mid-medium long range combat. Due to the extreme amount of aim assist in game it's an easy to use weapon. Ammo isn't an issue, can burn ammo for final round in trials. Dot effect to keep shields down to allow aggressive gameplay or follow up grenades. Has good stats. Probably some other stuff, I don't know. Cons: Tlw has a faster ttk and will beat thorn at close-medium range encounters. Long range is more dependant on user skill. Shotguns will kill in cqc. Snipers will kill in long range. Somewhat irrelevant, but is apparently difficult to obtain? (Arguably a pro, idc) Fusion rifles can beat it at mid range. Tlw is better for aggressive play because it will kill faster instead of relying on dot, it just kills. These are my thoughts on thorn. I think thorn is irrelevant. I use last word and thorn users will generally lose to me in a 1v1 encounter. If you let a thorn user play his medium range game, then it'll be difficult. Put some distance between you and them or get in close and make them panic. They'll either switch to secondaries or die. So, I don't think thorn really needs a nerf. Maybe dot can be shorter but stronger, but destiny is a slightly slow paced game so it fits.

                • They should nerf per weapon, not per type. Nerf Thorn, not all Handcannons. Buff Vex, not all Fusions. Buff all ARs ~10%. Something like that.

                  • just deactivate the Exotic perks in crucible these perks are the only thing that tend to make them too strong when compared to normal weapons, dont remove the perks or make the guns weaker just deactivate them in crucible. simple but effective

                    • I think the burn should only be able to bring your health to 1 minimum . That way they wont be able to shoot you twice then run while you burn to death . Also reduce its range , its a bit too much

                    • - Increase impact - Decrease DoT - Decrease Range Now its still a 2 shot kill, but it has a much slower RoF and the range means you won't get destroyed at long range. Its fair.

                    • I really think it doesn't need a nerf simply because it was buffed for a full 2 months or more without many problems . . . until Auto Rifles got nerfed, that is. In mid-range engagements, the Thorn's TTK is great until a few bullets get thrown at the user. This makes the target hard to hit and Thorn's TTK becomes crap. Auto Rifles used to have a similar TTK as Thorn but typically won in closer engagements because the hail of bullets threw off the Thorn's aim too badly to be used well. Only skilled HC users could use a Thorn against an AR and only skilled users came out on top. TL;DR I think Thorn isn't the issue, having no ARs to balance the playing field is.
