Edit: I made a normal poll to see opinion of community. Totally forgot about how many 12 year old salty turds exist here. Without reading anything, they are telling me go to year 1 and other crap.
I am year 1. I have 2300+ hours in game. Have 7000 kills with thorn in year 1.
All of you turds who are telling me how it was op, this poll is not saying what was op year 1 or year 2.
Compare thorn in year 2 with other exotic weapons like red death, suros, boolean gemini.
Why I think thorn is op.
3 shot body shot with fastest fire rate hand cannon. Which usually is 4-5
Tracks enemy.
Stop recovery for 7 effing seconds
All of you who are telling me you can counter it, for sure you can counter it. Problem is, most probably it will still kill you if other person is even half decent.
Please post your honest opinion. Now by honest I mean honest.
If you use it and like it, it's good but that won't change the fact that it's not op.
Thanks
Happy hunting guardians

With Life Support and other perks and the overall reduced burn damage i don't think it's OP. My hunter ran through countless Iron Banners with Thorn (not my main, but sorry all the same) and it was much stronger in year one. If you want to compare it to year two weapons then it is a strong option considering it's unique perk, but it fills a role along with TLW and to a lesser degree Hawkmoon in mid to close distance. It will lose at range to any pulse or scout rifle with a competent user. Ultimately it has already been nerfed down for damage. With the re-adjustment to hand cannon ranges it isn't useless and that's why more people are using it. When you kill someone using it drop a bag if you are so inclined, remind them that no one likes them right now. ;)
