119 is massive for a headshot. The only other weapons in the game that can match that are snipers and shotguns

I do 164 damage with a headshot from a non exotic sniper in ToO and that does not kill the target. The Thorn is an exotic weapon which will take the slot you could fill with other weapons. It is supposed to be powerful but it cant one shot you, not even two shot you most of the time.

I think that the recoil on thorn is pretty significant without the perk. The fire rate isnt the worst but there are far better ones, I think. ABout the sniper you might be right though. I rarely get people in two shots with the thorn.

The only other hand cannon that can fire faster is the last word, I think.

Yes. According to this spread sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7FV9l4hXo2tHD3XlFUp854XvJIwTKFIPvASLduPPS4/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true The time to kill is not actually very different from lots of other hand cannons but it is definitely in the top tier. As it should be, being an exotic.

An exotic status should not and can never justify a weapon being more powerful than the rest in an evened out pvp environment like the crucible. Doesn't matter how hard it is to get for some people, if it's better than the others, then the weapon balance is broken and variety gone with it.
-
ToO isn't evened out Crucible lol.
-
I don't see trials saying "Weapon advantages enabled". Like it pretty much says so for level advantages. Thorn is the same gun for both.
-
But that is exactly what is happening with most exotics in the game. Lots of exotics have perks or something else that makes them superior to the other weapons. That is why you can only have one. Everybody can chose one exotic to give their loadout that extra kick. I dont think its a problem. Destiny is not meant to be balanced.
