When I first got the Thorn (8 months ago) It was crap, absolutely awful, but I loved it, it shot giant f-n thorns into the head of enemies, it has an awesome look fit for a game like destiny, and the sight picture was very creative. It was a great gun. Then it got it's boost, and it's popularity took off.
Bottom line, the Thorn is an awesome creation by the Bungie team, and should be taken a little less seriously on the stats side.
Good job Bungie you made a gun I never want to stop shooting.

Whining? I don't care about how long ago you got it. I don't care about your backstory on the gun. All I see here is a bunch of garbage crucible players who think they have some sort of skill by relying on damage over time to kill an enemy. You all use the Thorn because you're afraid you're going to lose. That weapon will NOT help you win if you are having a head to head battle against someone else with it. Man, grow some balls already and use an auto rifle.
