So after the update came out I immediately took off to clash to test out both weapons THORN: faster reload, nine bullets, faster handling, 2 shots plus Mark Of D to kill. VEX MYTHO: Returned to old glory, It singes people like bee-outch, lower mag size not a big deal!. So lets discuss, are these two the best now or is there still something better?.
EDIT: THANK YOU GUYS
EDIT: So many responses thanks XD
-
Mytho was honestly fine with the nerf in my opinion. Its recoil and lack of effective range is probably the reason why people think it sucks. Well for a hunter like me I'm feeling like Mytho was made for us hunters ;) and that now that Mytho is buffed, damn I really don't know how this is going to turn out. However I can guarantee you that with adaptation, me and other fellow fully upgraded Mytho-users will have our time to rise.
-
23 attack points doesn't seem like a lot. It's still about 19% weaker than it used to be.
-
Thorn kills is pretty much the same as any other legendary HCs. I wish people would just stop assuming it would be a staple weapon in PvP just because it got a buff. TDYK still has a higher impact and slightly faster reload.
-
You guys are nuts the suros still has clear edge over the mytho, a lot less now but its still clear.
-
Idk about thorn, but the Vex is gonna be great for PVE because of its damage boost. The thing I am not sure about is when IB comes back and the Vex does 30ish more damage than everything else.
-
It's not as good as TLW but that's just personal preference. TLW just drops people to quick. I don't have perfect balance on Thorn yet though so maybe that'll be the game changer
-
I don't really understand why people are convincing themselves that Thorn is great. It has low impact resulting in a fairly bad time to kill, the mag is still kind of small, and its range isn't much better than TDYK or LHF since both have range upgrades. It has a niche in PvP corner shooting, but it's not very versatile. It can hold down a few specific points on the map well, but it's hard to use for capturing a point and in a straight up gunfight at typical range TLW still beats it by a considerable margin.

Edited by Chit Chat: 12/2/2014 6:04:41 AMUnfortunate I never got to use the Vex before the nerf. It currently doesn't seem OP to me like I imagined. But I also haven't used it much today. I'm definitely going to max out Thorn now. The buff is very much welcomed. It now holds one more bullet than The Last Word with roughly the same reload speed. Nice.

and hawkmoon
-
Still think hawkmoon outshines the thorn, but it's closer for sure
-
Thorn now is a beast, but I still love my Hawkmoon. Especially now with fast reload xD (It feels so great)
-
I just used my Thorn in PVP and YES it is much better. It's quicker to handle and more bullets and I believe the DoT damage before was 3 per tick, now it's 7. Thank you Bungie

Mytho is no where close to what it used to be.. Not even close.
-
Thorn and Vex have always been a decent choice, Vex had same damage as leveled suros but far less accuracy and range, Thorns DoT is the definition of "If I'm going down, you're coming down with me!". But Suros still wins over vex simply because of it's accuracy. However, now that hard light can shoot in a straight line it's now a top contender. In the end, as long as you don't sit in a corner with ice breaker the entire match you have a chance with anything.
-
Exotics performing like exotics... I heart you bungie
-
Hawkmoon is better than thorn
-
You left out hardlight. I loved it before, but now those precision shots are cake!

Edited by Haku: 12/2/2014 1:50:09 AMI'm saving up crucible marks to buy the Dead Orbit shotgun so I can get mad void kills I'm so sorry everyone but It needs to be done I need this new Thorn
-
Can't believe they didn't change the dot for pvp
-
All hand cannons take three to four shots to kill. And I think the DoT was fine. The reload and magazine size needed a slight buff.
-
best gun in the game thats trying to be a exotic PRAEDYTHS TIMEPIECE #no #ugh #greatROF #pulseriflevirgin
-
Nope. Gjallarhorn still in a league of its own.
-
Well then it's a good thing thorn and the mytho were 2 of the 3 exotics I actually took the time to fully max
-
Yes indeed... And I'm totally fine with it. Played a few matches, and there were definitely some Vex's. But I wasn't getting mauled by them. they were beatable, but they also gave a beating. Feels more like it should be. Also, Thorn is now perfect. However....I feel people are gonna cry about the DoT ticks. No bother, it's all better now. And I got killed by a few Bad Juju's. That felt good.
-
Seeing as they are the 2 hardest to get weapons in the game they should be.
