there are so many posts saying "Thorn needs a buff! It's garbage!" which is true. but..... [spoiler]ALL PRIMARIES NEED A BUFF[/spoiler]
but I think I know how to fix the mark of the devourer perk. instead of a consistent stream of the same damage, we could have the perk become less powerful over time. for example, say you land a shot. The burn starts off doing 5 damage, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1. i don't know the exact numbers on the current and past burn damage, but imo this would make the thorn balanced again

imo mark of the devourer isn't the problem with Thorn. the problem is the absolute garbage range due to the range nerf (which was uncalled for as the gun was in a good place)
