Should Thorn be nerfed? Or should the guns be buffed?

Guns should be buffed up to par with Thorn

Thorn should be nerfed

I have my own idea (insert below)

[b]Make sure you watch THE ENTIRE VIDEO[/b] (take note I do not own the video in any way I just wish to see people's opinions about it) IMO I do believe he has a point since I'm pretty sure the second Bungie nerfs Thorn, its going to be Last Word, then Red Death, then Hand Cannons, etc. I wish to see what would happen if they buff other guns up to par with the Thorn, since so few other guns is required to go against it. It's either going to cause a more variety of guns to appear or its just going to cause everyone to keep using Thorn like nothing happened, or some other gun that is better then Thorn. Regardless if buffing the guns does not work then simply just reverse it to point that it will turn everything into marshmellow shooters. (Cough Auto Rifles Cough) Either way I want your opinions, since my voice cannot be heard alone, leave your opinions below, for the sake of balancing the crucible and pve. ( and please give a valid reason, not something like "auuggghhhh the Thhoorrrnnn isssss soooooo op" and "Thhhhoorrrrnnnn takes soooooooo much skill" otherwise you remind of her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAQBzjE-kvI ) [b]Edit 1[/b]: I have yet to see anyone make a 15 paragraph long comment about why the Thorn should be nerfed lol. Keep those votes coming in and spread the word, Bungie needs to know. [b]Edit 2[/b]: a guy known as Pyromancer tK has made somewhat of a similar post as too this one. Here is the link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/127135206/0/0 also I should mention that there is over 100 votes on guns that should be buffed up too Thorn. Keep those votes coming in :) [b]Edit 3[/b]: I should probably mention that this forum isn't for me entirely. It's more[b] targeted towards[/b] those who [b]talk about weapon balancing[/b] and [b]nerf callouts[/b]. Also [b]Bungie[/b] if they actually manage to read this and put this into consideration (maybe even put a comment in about the subject, that would be the day). [b]BUT I will not stop you convincing me[/b] to believe what is better. Pretty much the reason why I made this post in the first place.

  • I voted #3 Should Thorn be Nerfed? ... Not really (It is not completely game breaking...) Should other weapons be buffed? (A few, and some types yes) What would I do? Based on my experience using, and being used against me, I would implement changes to thorns DoT effect... Specifically, I would both make it renewable with each hit, and! remove the ability to kill via thorn poison... I believe people should have to work for their kill, (the only burns I am ok with are ones from abilities, or heavies... latter non existent yet) Instead of thorn's poison killing, I would have each tick beyond the 1hp limit, start stacking onto a debuff timer, which only starts to countdown after the poison ticks subside. Now how this debuff works for activation I have not settled on completely..... But the debuff would act like the weight of darkness/supressor grenade and presence of crota debuffs from the raid, preventing healing so long as it is active and hampering your movement abilities (and maybe other) 1 this debuff would at minimal, activate as soon as thorn poison starts ticking past 1, (starting separate from the countdown timer) Making your "prey" helpless to escape while you duck behind cover to recover, but would not give you a kill should they kill you outright in the firefight.... 2, this debuff could partially activate upon thorn poison effect,increasing with each successive hit while under the poison influence, and should your target be reduced past 1 hp, it would extend the timer, and possibly increase the effects. (more favorable for being of more use in PvE) 3, this effect, either of the 2 above ways, would always impose some sort of debuff along with the final round in the magazine (this would not be harmful in pvp and would guarantee some PvE helpfulness.... not to mention I think all exotic perks should complement and work in conjunction with the weapons other perk(s) )
