This is going to be quite funny as I know how many people love their "skilless" Thorn from year 1, the gun that so many people knew was a terrible gun and pathetically cheap to use, but had to use it to compete. Personally myself, I fired one shot in patrol cosmodrome at the wall, I put it back in my vault and have never taken it out since, I hated the gun from the start and the way it felt, the way it looked. The whole thing about the Thorn I just hated ... before it got the most ridiculous buff in Destiny so far.
DoT on a gun just shouldn't be a thing, how about that? The advantage it gives you is just far too significant for a weapon, a weapon that has so many bullets to use, every bullet you hit provides you with a location of the enemy, a constant position which gives you a massive advantage as positioning is a huge thing in pvp. It completely stops that player being able to use any health regeneration abilities on any weapons or armour which is completely stupid as they are tough to do and you should be rewarded for actually accomplishing them.
Now I know there are no DoT weapons in game apart from that disgusting hand cannon and many people genuinely liked using it, sure I know my opinion is not the same as everyone else's and everyone is entitled to use what they wish in a video game. For a gun to have this level of an advantage over any opponent in a game that has such a fine line between dead or alive is ridiculous, no amount of nerfs or balance of buffs will ever be able to make a gun that deals DoT a balanced weapon, Thorn needs to be redesigned with a different perk on it for year 2.
Let the salt and hate flow through you.
