A full second of faster ttk can be a game breaker. The thorn is capable of a faster ttk the the majority of all the primaries in the game (and quite easy to handle I should know I went 9-0 in trials 3 times using the thorn primarily) if someone with a good aim is using a thorn it's not good for the player vsing said thorn user. I would very likely win the majority of my fights against you if you were using the coiled hiss versus the almighty thorn. You would need to hope that all three bursts fully connect where I would just need to shoot two quick easy shots then hide. The thorn needs some slight tweaks.

Lol, I'd sure like to think there's someone out there with one that could at least give a good fight.

Also, you'd need to pray you landed 2 headshots because I can get 3 busts off faster than you can land 2 shots.

Edited by xJPerk: 6/7/2015 7:56:37 AMIf that were the case the coiled hiss would have a better ttk then the thorn. Several play tests and times tracked have confirmed the thorn is capable of two headshot quicker then the coiled hiss can Land 3 bursts.

Again, the game isn't played in test environments and there are hundreds of different perk combos of legendaries. Play tests don't factor 3rd Eye letting me get 2 bursts off before you can get one. They don't factor Glass Half Full, Headseeker, various stability or range setups. They also don't factor that we're not relegated to just primaries as our only means of attack. Golden Gun is a OHK, but it's TTK isn't going to make sh*t for a difference if a trip mine goes off behind them and they take a scout round to the dome. No one is saying Thorn is bad. No one is saying Thorn isn't great in capable hands. All I'm saying is that Thorn is no less beatable than any other weapon in this game.

Now you're throwing golden gun into the mix, so your logic is thorn is beatable just like the golden gun is beatable. In no way shape or form does any gun make you unbeatable. But there are some guns that make things easier for you. If you seriously think that every primary in destiny is perfectly balanced in crucible then you're not worth my time anymore. This will be my final reply.
