I guess I should have done that. So my next question is, if you use it, how do you not think that it needs to be fixed? An Exotic should not be outperformed by a Legendary. I think the damage is good where its at, but it needs something else besides the DoT. Faster reload and 8 rounds would be good IMO.

  • That's untrue. Exotics are [i][b]not[/b][/i] meant to absolutely outshine legendary weapons. They are, say it with me, [u][i][b]exotic[/b][/i][/u]. They are strange, have odd perks, unusual looks. They are a different type of weapon from others in there own class. That's what they are, what they are meant to be, and what they will remain.

  • If exotic weapons are not supposed to be better than legendaries then why can I only equip one?

  • To make you specialize in one direction, obviously.

    Not absolutely outshine them, but they are supposed to outclass them... Hence why you can only have one equipped at a time, and why they're harder to obtain; for balancing. Same goes for the armour. Exotics are the very top tier and legendaries are 2nd top, meaning Exotics > Legendaries

  • im not buying that. there are other exotics that do ALOT better than their legendary counterparts, AND they have their "unusual" buffs too. the unusual characteristics should not be used as a justification for the weapon to be underpowered, especially considering the major tasks that need to be accomplished to obtain both the Juju and the Thorn. Exotics are the highest tier of any item, so there is no rhyme or reason for a legendary counterpart to outperform it. the exotic should in the very least act just like a legendary WITH exotic buffs. the Thorn doesnt do that anyways. really, exotics should be better than legendary in its attributes and then also have the special buff that is exclusive to that weapon.

    I agree with this. However, I don't feel that they should make you say "meh I'd rather use my vendor bought legendary." I love my Thorn - I just got it yesterday and it's fun as hell. However the thought is always in the back of my mind that I could be doing so much better with TDYK. Then again I'm a bad to mediocre PVP player. Edit: also, after doing the void damage portion of the bounty, the though crossed my mind that maybe it should have void damage on it. I mean, I get that raid primaries have elemental properties and that makes them better - but it's not like a couple hard bounties in the game shouldn't nab a little extra PVE utility on your weapon.

  • Then use TDYK! An exotic is meant to have major ups and downs, not necessarily just kick ass non stop. All about whatever fits your style. I'm a range sneaky play most of the time, so thorn is wonderful. When I wanna rush like a CoD kid, it's all about suros. When I'm playing crazy, it's last word. Lol

  • TDYK is amazing... The perks on that thing make me choose it over Hawkmoon a lot of the time. Just don't let the secret out mate ;) Keep it between us in the know!

  • According to bungie exotics are meant to outperform legendary weapons. They're meant to be OP. That is the entire reason you can only equip i exotic weapon. They dropped the ball on thorn but not by much. I think it needs a reload buff its easily outperformed by most legendary hand canons.

  • Thorn still needs a fix.

  • I disagree, but I guess that's just an opinion. Now bad juju on the other hand....
