I remember doing the strike for Thorn solo (before I found sites like destinylfg.com), like last october or so, I had Icebreaker and a blue arc sniper. I had gotten IB the week before, I had been stocking up on an insane amount of special ammo to do the strike. It took me 2 and a 1/2 or 3 hours to get though it without dying. I remember it popping up on the loot and I took a long breath, sat back and felt relived. I actually got a good feeling of accomplishment from that. Nothing since then has hit that high. Athlon was fun, Crota felt like you were on a conveyor belt and I haven't done the newest one yet. But nothing has felt like that since. I loved using it in the crucible because of all the effort that went into getting it.

I remember busting my butt so hard to get Thorn but then hating it so much -- even though I loved the look of the gun. Ammo capacity was so low, always ran out of primary ammo when using it, had trouble handling it, and the reload was annoyingly long. Then when I was taking my 6-month break from Destiny, someone at work was bitching about how PVP sucked because everybody was using Thorn and I was shocked that it was (or became) such a good gun. :)

Oh Lord, I remember I had a HUGE smile on my face when I first got Thorn in my hand. I love Thorn so much that I have over 35,000 kills with it. If only it upper the limit of Light Level. :(
