When I first got the Thorn (8 months ago) It was crap, absolutely awful, but I loved it, it shot giant f-n thorns into the head of enemies, it has an awesome look fit for a game like destiny, and the sight picture was very creative. It was a great gun. Then it got it's boost, and it's popularity took off.
Bottom line, the Thorn is an awesome creation by the Bungie team, and should be taken a little less seriously on the stats side.
Good job Bungie you made a gun I never want to stop shooting.

Naw, I have two and won't use that crutch. Sure, I had a rev#1 that was immensely disappointing and a m glad they make it useful. However, the first + last round glitch along with bully-gangs team-tagging players is an absurd development. Hand Cannons should not out distance Scouts and Bungie agrees. I look forward to PvE buff with stacking poison, but all of Crucible will be more enjoyable when this gun (and Last Word) get put in place.
