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
-
Thanks bungie cant wait to get online and try it out.
-
Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker are still at the top. Thorn and Vex just joined them.
-
Everyone forgets about the allmighty HAWKMOON. Hawkmoon Found Verdict and Hezen Revenge perfect pvp combo
-
THORN FTW
-
Man, I need to wrap up that thorn bounty, I am now out of excuses.
-
Bad juju became the ultimate PVE weapon.. Only had to reload 6 times during the daily today on the hardest difficulty.. That extra ammo was all it needed
-
Anyone else think super good advice is still a piece of crap...just for reference mine is not upgraded
-
Well time to grind bounties so I pick up Thorn :)
-
Vex was not effected in pvp. The thorns however was. But the icebreaker an Gjallarhorn are still the best
-
My maxed mythoclast ruins PvE and PvP now
-
There was no change to vex in pvp, so good try. Thorn is considerably better tho.
-
Finally, a hand cannon that can out gun a shotgun.
-
Vex and thorn are back to being great weapons which is what exotics should be. Was playing pve with thorn today and it is a blast to use. That being said icebreaker and gjallahorn are still in a league of there own in my opinion.
-
I feel sorry for the guy, who was running to me with a shotgun... and died like a "hero" under my 2 headshots (then Jump) with a Thorn... DoT poisoned his heart to death... so sorry, mate.
-
Hard Light is a beast as well
-
What about MIDA? [spoiler]Sarcasm[/spoiler]
-
How much damage does thorn do on pve?
-
Hawkmoon still knocks its socks off....... 2-3 shot kill.
-
I have no idea what to choose for my exotic slot anymore! Bad juju is actually beast and recharges my super FAST, Thorn is one of the best HC in the game now, Pocket Infinity has been restored, Hard Light is ACTUALLY USABLE (and by God I love it, I think this may actually be one of my go-to's) but I have no idea what to use anymore :( Vex is also blindingly awesome
-
Finally pulled my thorn back out. Holy hell, I missed this beautiful thing.
-
I will always run Last Word but I am liking Vex a lot more than I did before
-
Thorn will still take a skillful hand to control. Most will fail, few will rise. The Vex is supposed to destroy. The recoil is still annoying to me. I will stick with my Shadow Price or Thorn.
-
I'm just happy I finished that exotic bounty....now I can actually use throne other then pvp
-
I'll probably enjoy the resurgence of Thorn. Armor of Light Ward of Dawn renders its DoT useless so long as it is up. Two headshots, walk away and I walk into my WoD to let it soak up the DoT. It's a real pain for any other class, though. Two headshots to guarantee a kill is basically the fastest any Primary in the game can get and a skilled Thorn user will almost always at least trade kills unless you OHKO them. Mythoclast is at a good level. 5HKO to the head against everything with Aggressive Ballistics and 5HKO to most things, with a 6HKO to targets with a lot of Armor with Smart Drift. It has a very good TTK if you land all shots, without being OP; it's just now top tier for Primary optimal TTK, like it should be. Also, what's the damage on Red Death with Aggressive Ballistics? Anyone know? Bungie really surprised me by breaking archetypes. Red Death has the RPM of Bad Seed Down with much higher Impact according to DB... That should make it a beast in PvE and nice in PvP, though if it removes the ability to kill in two bursts it could actually make it kill more slowly at times. 66 RoF/26 Impact should pump out good DPS considering Bad Seed has 66 RoF with only 14 Impact and is already one of the more reliable models.

Vex isn't that good, I love thorn though.
-
Vex Mythoclast is not what it was at first. But, it's defiantly better!
